Sydney Navid, associate dietitian
Sydney is a NYC based registered dietitian-nutritionist and private chef who earned her Master’s degree in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology from Teachers College, Columbia University. She then completed her clinical dietetic internship at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
Her love for food and feeding others began in the kitchen, cooking Persian dishes with her mom and grandma. However, it was her own experiences with disordered eating and chronic digestive issues that led her to pursue a career in nutrition and help others reclaim the joy and pleasure associated with the act of eating.
