About Keri

Hi, I’m Keri. I hate kale and sweet potatoes, but I love Brussels sprouts and French fries. I practice yoga by day and enjoy martinis at night. I have been a registered dietitian nutritionist for over twenty years and I love what I do.

My philosophy in nutrition is quite simple. I don’t believe in good or bad foods, just in foods that are better for you than others, and in those that we should consume more of. Honestly, I believe that all foods can fit into a well-balanced diet. It is just learning about that balance that is most important. Deprivation is not part of my vocabulary.

My nutrition approach is rather no-nonsense. I look to science to make decisions on the newest trend or fad and am never afraid to speak on a controversial topic. Actually, I always enjoy a little friendly debate and have often been asked professionally to engage in one.

I do not believe in diets, but rather feel very strongly about making small changes in your life that will ultimately lead to long-lasting success. That is why I wrote my book, The Small Change Diet, to share my knowledge and what I have seen to work with thousands of my patients.

Before I became a dietitian, I worked in the fashion industry in NYC for many years. I switched careers because, as much as I love clothes, I wasn’t passionate about what I was selling. You can look good on the outside by wearing a cool outfit, but what really matters is how you feel on the inside. So now I promote eating right and staying physically active (I am also a yoga teacher), which I am extremely passionate about. 

I live with my husband and 4-legged son in Chatham, NJ.
