About

Roberta Gershner, MS,RD,CDN

As a Registered Dietitian (RD) and consulting nutritionist, I help people in every stage of their lives deal with health related conditions or lose weight through proper diet and exercise.

I encourage you to regularly visit my Web site and schedule a consultation with me so that we can find the right program that will work for you. An individualized approach is key and a one-on-one relationship is necessary to find the diet that is right for you.

Every person is different and each patient I see comes to me for various reasons. These could be for a health related condition, meal planning or weight loss issues. While we all know its important to eat a healthy diet, there may be other factors at play that can call into question what that constitutes. I can help you navigate the complicated diet plans and exercise options that are available to you and, together, we will customize a plan that is right for you.

My patients can attest to the highly personalized service you receive when you visit my office. Please see our testimonials. My approach will help you match your lifestyle with the right diet, exercise plan and relaxation routine to make you feel and look your best.

Everyone is different and for that particular reason, a visit with me is the first step to customizing your own personal wellness program.

I follow a 5-Step Plan When Helping Clients Achieve a Healthier Lifestyle

The 5-Step Program helps individuals of all ages struggling with medical concerns or weight-related conditions that would benefit from a specifically tailored diet. Whether you are slightly overweight, struggling with significant obesity, or dealing with a health condition that calls for a special diet, my approach is designed to help you change your lifestyle for the better.

This change can only be achieved through the kind of personal attention you receive when you visit me, a registered dietitian. I can help you decipher what you may not understand while providing the right dietary guidelines to meet your special needs.

Step 1.Assess Your Current Situation
This is a complete assessment of everything that might affect your situation. We go through a highly detailed review of your daily routine, such as what you eat, how much you eat, medications you take, where you shop, what you eat, how you cook, how much you eat, and your exercise patterns. Each assessment is necessary so I can understand your current health status, and it also enables me to help you improve your life.

Step 2. Identify Behaviors That Must Change
Second, I will work with you to identify those behaviors that need to change to improve the quality of your life. Removing these factors is key to moving you towards a healthier lifestyle.

Step 3. Put Your First Step Forward
Change is challenging. Science has taught us that it takes multiple times to unlearn and change behavior that is not healthy. I will work with you to challenge yourself and alter your behavior during this stage.

Step 4. Build Success
Together, we will work to ensure that the changes you have decided to make become part of your daily routine. These are life-altering changes and I will help you remain dedicated to achieving success.

Step 5. Persevere
The last step involves implementing the individualized plan we have created for you. Frequent visits with me and other resources will help you stay the course and not lose sight of your goal.

It was very easy to get an appointment. They have a very flexible schedule and get me in quickly every time. It is obvious that their office is cleaned regularly. It was fantastic. Their office was one of the quietest, most peaceful places I've ever visited. I was able to relax very easily. It made me that much more confident that I was under the care of a professional.
Most important! There are generally alternatives and Roberta advises you on what you will more likely to do to reach success.

Roberta has directed me toward a very healthy lifestyle of eating. She takes you every step of the way toward understanding every aspect of nutrition for a lay person. Through her guidance, I have trained myself to totally understand all nutrition labels and what are the best choices for health and power foods. She is extremely non-judgemental which is very important if you are attempting to lose weight or change negative health issues. Also, she brings not only many years of experience as a dietician, but she is willing to share her own personal issues as they relate to you, and she has a good sense of humor which takes the pressure off. I have been following her food program and guidance for a number of years and my whol family has adopted this healthy lifestyle. I highly recommend her if you want to take a greater path toward health.
