Janet A. Gottlieb, RDN
Over a decade ago I left my job on Wall Street to raise my daughter with the intention of returning part-time in a year or two. Little did I know where life was taking me. Upon the arrival of my second child, born with six different food allergies and asthma, my passion for nutrition began to take shape and my vision of the future began to change.
Coming from a large Italian family, cooking has always been center stage. Immediately, I went about altering favorite family recipes to meet the needs of my son while allowing my family to still enjoy the foods they love. I also learned the importance of reading and understanding food labels, especially for those with food allergies, intolerances and restrictions. Before I knew it I was helping others in my community with the same challenges.
Soon I learned that this was only the tip of the nutrition iceberg! Food and how it can affect us both physically and emotionally fascinated me and I knew that I wanted to do a complete 180 in my professional life and pursue a career in nutrition. I also knew that in order to help others to the best of my ability, I would need to embark upon a second degree.
So that is just what I did. I enrolled in LIU Post earned my bachelor's of science in nutrition, followed by a one year clinically focused nutrition internship in the Northwell Health System. The following summer I completed the internship and passed my nutrition boards to become a Registered Dietitian, Nutritionist.
I believe nutrition is important at every life stage. I bring to the table both a clinical and educational nutrition background combined with real life experience to help my clients with a broad range of nutrition concerns. We can work together to address your own personal nutrition goals in a comfortable and welcoming environment and tailor a plan that works best for you and your entire family!
