About Priya Lawrence (Akhoury)
While traveling the world after completing her undergraduate degree, Priya developed her passion for food-both learning about it and enjoying it! This experience sparked her interest in understanding the triggers and rationales behind the various choices people make involving food. In 2006, Priya graduated from New York University with a Master's in Clinical Nutrition and became a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. She spent over seven years working at Beth Israel Medical Center as a clinical nutritionist, counseling hundreds of patients in one-on-one sessions and designing the curriculum for a weekly group nutrition seminar that she facilitated.
Priya is committed to creating wellness plans that are realistic and help her clients truly meet their goals.
In 2013, Priya and a fellow dietitian coworker expanded their reach by establishing a private practice, Tried and True Nutrition, Inc. The practice focuses on individuals, groups, and corporate wellness through one-on-one counseling, group seminars, and in-office cooking and nutrition demos.
A mother of two young children, Priya lives in NYC and strives to juggle all that life throws at her. Her pregnancies and child-rearing sparked a deeper interest in pre- and postnatal nutrition, as well as pediatric nutrition. When she finds free time, Priya enjoys reading, spinning, yoga, CrossFit training, and discovering new restaurants to try.
Accepted forms of payment: personal check, cash, and/or credit card.
**At this time, this practice does not accept any insurance plans.**

As someone with PCOS, I'm used to providers not listening to me or dismissing my concerns. Priya did not do that. She listens and develops a plan with you.

April 9, 2025Aura J.Verified patientVideo visit
Priya is terrific - great bedside manner, helpful and informative. She listened to my health-related reasons for wanting to change my diet, my current symptoms, and we went over my typical food and liquid intake in detail. She explained what foods were or were not beneficial to me given my condition, but rather than simply saying “no” to certain foods and moving on, she would instead suggest an alternative that I could have instead. It was a collaborative process.
I highly recommend Priya.
