Experience

Rebecca Jaspan, MPH, RD, CDN, CDCES specializes in anorexia, binge eating disorder, and bulimia, as well as disordered eating and orthorexia. She is also a certified diabetes care and education specialist and has extensive experience working with clients with diabetes. As a runner, Rebecca has a special interest in sports nutrition and works with athletes to improve their performance through nutrition.

After completing her dietetic internship through Hunter College, she practiced as a clinical dietitian at Bronx Lebanon Hospital providing care for patients with diabetes, renal disease, and gastrointestinal disorders, as well as critically ill, tube-fed patients. Prior to her role in private practice, Rebecca was the clinical administrative dietitian at Montefiore Medical Center where she directed the outpatient nutrition program at Montefiore’s ambulatory hospital. 

Rebecca has spoken to New York University medical students and presented at New York Road Runners and USA Track & Field about nutrition for long-distance runners. 

With so much nutrition information out there, it's confusing to make decisions about one of the only things we must do multiple times a day—eat! I strive to provide my clients with the correct knowledge and education they need to make informed decisions about their health using a non-judgmental and "all foods fit" approach.

Education

Rebecca earned her bachelor of science in nutritional sciences from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and her master's of public health from the CUNY School of Public Health in New York City.
