Registered Dietitians & Nutritionists - New York

Sharon Richter, MS, RD, CDN

My purpose is to educate individuals on how to create a balanced life that will ultimately improve overall health. No two people are the same, so why would their diets be? I will customize a plan that fits your lifestyle and dietary habits without deprivation or unrealistic goals.

The fundamental keys to our success are:

• Knowledge about dietary choices
  
• Power to accept that change is a process
  
• Honesty with both yourself and with me
  
• Desire to make a change
  
• Ability to work with me to educate, empower and change your life
  

During my undergraduate and pre-med studies, I became fascinated by the impact of diet and exercise on one's health and decided to pursue a career in nutrition. The NYU Nutrition Program afforded me a variety of internships and consultative roles. I began in pediatrics at Mount Sinai, and subsequently worked with a dietitian to develop the nutritional content of a lifestyle book. I also managed the daily operations of a home delivery food service. I then went to work with Dr. Howard Shapiro, counseling in his private practice, and conducted nutritional research for his best-selling diet books.

After completing my Masters of Science degree, I became Director of Nutrition for The Tiger Schulmann's Karate (TSK) organization, a chain of 38 martial arts schools. At TSK I developed a nutritional supplement line, conducted nutrition seminars, and developed a nutrition certification program for all instructors.

In early 2004, I decided to set up my own counseling practice focusing on sports nutrition, weight loss/gain, eating disorders, and disease prevention for children, adolescents and adults. My objective is to help you achieve a healthier lifestyle by creating incremental goals that are both physically and mentally challenging.

I took this challenge upon myself. I am a member of the New York Road Runner's Club, completed the 2003 NYC marathon, participate in kick boxing, yoga, spinning classes and weight training. In addition, I am currently training to become certified as a kickboxing instructor.
