About Punnya Andrews

This provider is not licensed in the states of CT, IN, MA, NY, PA, TN, and VA. I became interested in dietetics after taking an elective course called Cookery in high school. This class sparked my interest in health from a different perspective. I learned the basics of food science, human development, and the relationship between nutrition throughout the lifecycle and in disease states. This excited me, and I knew immediately that being a dietitian was my calling. I earned my Master's in Nutrition and Dietetics from Symbiosis International University and completed my Internship in Dietetics at Rutgers School of Health Professions. Counseling Style: Empathetic Encouraging Educational Flexible Accountable What's your nutrition superpower? My ability to relay nutrition information simply, while guiding patients with sustainable recommendations. How has your cultural culinary heritage shaped your approach to nutrition, and do you incorporate any traditional practices into your counseling? My extensive cultural culinary background has given me a profound appreciation for the diverse world of food. Exploring dishes and their historical significance has helped me grasp both the scientific and heartfelt elements in the cooking traditions of my ancestors. Understanding culinary traditions has instilled deep respect for cultural diversity, influencing my nutrition practice. It enables me to connect with patients from various backgrounds. By honoring each unique cultural heritage, I provide personalized nutrition solutions that resonate with patients' beliefs, lifestyles, and preferences. Nutrition philosophy in a nutshell: Nutrition is understanding why you eat what you eat. It is not black and white; many layers must be considered before recommendations or choices are made.
