“Lindsay is incredibly kind and patient. I never thought I'd be able to have a decent relationship with food, let alone a good one, until our work together. She went above and beyond to help me in my recovery, all with understanding and humor. I cannot recommend her enough!”
Knowing what to do is one thing.
Putting it into practice is another.
There’s a lot of nutrition information out there. Knowing what applies to you, what doesn’t, and how to actually make changes in your day-to-day life is another story.
We’ll take the nutrition science and make it practical, and work through the real-life challenges together while taking into account your relationship with food, preferences, culture, schedule, and goals.
The goal isn’t to follow another set of rules. It’s to find an approach that feels sustainable and realistic.
Eating disorders & disordered eating nutrition support
When food becomes a source of fear, stress, rules, or uncertainty, finding the right support matters. Eating disorders and difficult relationships with food deserve specialized, thoughtful care grounded in real experience.
With more than 20 years of experience in the eating disorder field and 10 years of that as a dietitian across hospital, residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient settings, I provide individualized nutrition counseling for people navigating restriction, anorexia, binge eating, food anxiety, orthorexia, ARFID, and other eating concerns.
Nutrition support for what you're navigating
Eating disorders and disordered eating are a core part of my practice. I also work with people navigating health conditions and other nutrition concerns, including:
-
Tired of constantly wondering what you “should” be eating? We'll work toward a more flexible approach that supports your health while helping you reconnect with your own needs and preferences.

Nutrition for blood sugar management doesn't have to mean giving up the foods you love. We'll focus on strategies that support your blood sugar and health while respecting your food preferences and relationship with food, without unnecessary restriction.
-
PCOS can affect appetite, energy, blood sugar, hormones, and your relationship with food. We'll focus on nutrition strategies that support hormonal and metabolic health without adding more rules to your plate.
-
We'll look at your overall eating pattern and health history to identify meaningful changes that can support your heart health without unnecessary restriction.
-
Changes in appetite and eating can bring new questions when taking a GLP-1. We'll focus on staying nourished, navigating side effects, and supporting your health and relationship with food.
“Lindsay was able to help address my needs by targeting her guidance according to my specific conditions rather than offering generic advice. I really appreciated that. I was also surprised by a piece of advice that not only offered benefits in one way, but would also help lower the risk of something I have in another way. That really shifted my perspective on how I should be approaching and balancing my nutrition.”

Insurance shouldn't be another thing on your to-do list
We do the annoying part.
Insurance can be confusing. Instead of spending your time calling your insurance company and trying to decode your benefits, we'll check them for you.
We’ll verify your benefits for nutrition counseling and help you understand your coverage before your first appointment.

“First time seeing a nutritionist and Lindsay has exceeded my expectations. She is incredibly gentle with her approach and goal setting, and takes the time to get a holistic understanding of your health/concerns. I am very comfortable speaking with her, and her times work well for working professionals not avail during business hours. I feel incredibly supported even though I am struggling with my health.”
Meet the dietitian
Lindsay Wengler, MS, RD, CDCES, CNSC
I'm a registered dietitian, certified diabetes care and education specialist, and clinical nutrition support clinician with 10 years of experience. I completed my dietetic internship and fellowship at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, where I developed a strong foundation in nutrition care, particularly for eating disorders and other specialized nutrition needs.
My clinical background taught me the science of nutrition. My life outside of the hospital taught me just as much about food.
I'm endlessly curious about the way people eat and connect through food. I love exploring NYC's food markets, cooking dishes from different cultures, learning languages, listening to music from around the world, and photographing the city around me. Those experiences have shaped how I see nutrition: food isn't just nutrients on a plate. It's culture, comfort, connection, pleasure, and sometimes a source of stress.
