Ellie Shem, RDN, RD, NY | Dietitian

About Ellie Shem

My passion to become an RD is related to my own history of disordered eating as well as my work with youth & adults in social work environments. My family has a history of obesity and diet-related disease. Through personal experience, I know that good nutrition is life saving. I want to help others feel equipped and empowered in their own eating choices, hopefully leading to health, happiness, and longevity. I am passionate about diet-related disease, food justice and food apartheid, culturally humble care, and client- centered counseling. I have experience with and enjoy counseling patients on general healthful eating, weight loss, and blood sugar balance.
