Eat Your Way to a Healthy Pregnancy with Guidance from a NYC Registered Nutritionist Dietitian

When women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes, they often feel overwhelmed. It’s important to know that between 2% and 10% of pregnancies are affected by gestational diabetes (in the United States). Gestational diabetes is common because when pregnant, women’s bodies change, causing cells to use insulin less effectively. So the body develops insulin resistance. All women experience insulin resistance in late pregnancy. Some (between 2% and 10%) develop gestational diabetes.

This is why it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider to get tested for gestational diabetes.

There can be many complications from gestational diabetes. This is not the time to scroll through the internet and come up with a DIY nutrition plan. You and your baby’s health depend on accurate, expert guidance.

What does a dietitian do for gestational diabetes?

Gestational diabetes can usually be controlled through diet and exercise, ideally keeping medication out of the equation.  Nutrition education is a big piece of working with a dietitian. Together, we can develop an individualized nutrition plan that meets all your nutrition needs during pregnancy, work with targeted blood glucose levels, and achieve the recommended weight gain.  

Controlling the disease as early in pregnancy as possible will be key to both mom’s and baby’s health. (Today’s Dietitian).  Give your baby the head start they deserve with a healthy pregnancy, and keep your blood sugar levels under control. 

A lifetime of health begins before birth.

How Our NYC Dietitians Support You with Gestational Diabetes ~ One Delicious Bite at a Time

Through specialized Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT), we move away from restrictive “dieting” and focus on how to fuel your body and stabilize your blood sugar while still honoring your favorite NYC food traditions.

We work beside you to develop a peaceful relationship with food and a clear understanding of how nutrition supports a healthy pregnancy. We will empower you with the tools you need to:

  • Feel Secure in Your Food Choices: No more guessing at every meal. You’ll learn exactly how to pair foods to keep your blood sugar steady while feeling full and satisfied.

  • Implement Sustainable Habits: We help you build a routine that actually works for your life—whether you’re commuting to work, work from home, or are painting the nursery.

  • Balance Glucose Levels Naturally: We’ll show you how “nutrition by addition”—adding protein, fiber, and healthy fats—can help you manage your blood sugar without the fear of restriction.

  • Maintain a Healthy Pregnancy Weight: We focus on steady, nourishing growth that supports your baby’s development and your own metabolic health.

  • Experience a More Vital Pregnancy: By managing insulin resistance, you’ll likely notice better energy levels, fewer “sugar crashes,” and a stronger sense of well-being.

  • Prepare for a Smooth Delivery: Proper nutrition helps manage your baby’s growth and reduces the risk of complications, setting you both up for a healthy start.

Testimonials

Loving my appointments with NY Nutrition Group. They take a wholistic approach to your nutrition and health, instead of just telling you what food groups to put on your plate or to simply cut out entire foods. I better understand how food works in my body in coordination with activity, sleep, mental health and overall health and wellness. I’m so glad I found them. They are helping me heal and improve my relationship with food and my body

by – Liz Lane

Working with NY Nutrition Group was the best decision I ever made! Lisa Moskovitz is an expert in intuitive eating and eating disorders. She is truly the only person that has been able to help my eating disorder recovery. Lisa is very kind and knowledgeable! I highly recommend to anyone looking for support – Hope S.

  • I had the pleasure of working with Cassie Steinberg, Registered Dietitian over a period of 6 months. We met weekly to come up with personal health habits and fun meal ideas. What began as me wanting to lose some weight really ended up becoming a process of self-love and creating daily eating habits I could live with long-term. Cassie was creative and kind. She helped me in so many ways to accept the body I have and to nourish it daily. I highly recommend her as a Dietitian and body image guru

Have been working with Lisa for 9 months and am very pleased with the experience. I’ve seen progress toward my goals, but more importantly, the way that Lisa frames progress is holistic, balanced, and not overly obsessed with the scale. I’m grateful to have someone to share my stressors and disappointments through the process who has the knowledge and perspective to help assuage them. I’ve never once felt like I was being pushed into unsustainable habits or behaviors that are isolating. A great person to add to your care team if you want to build a healthy, realistic relationship with food and your body!

I have had the pleasure of working with Jeanne for a couple of months now and I’ve never felt better. Since I first started working with her she listened to all my goals and always gave me the best guidance and recommendations to meet my goals. I’ve noticed that I make wiser nutrition decisions since working with her and value the sessions we have

by – Maria Toro Franco

I’ve had the pleasure of working with two outstanding nutritionists. My former nutritionist left during COVID. Since then, I’ve been working with Julia DiPietrantonio. Julia is culturally competent, which is very important to me … If you’re looking to gain confidence not just a sense of control over your relationship with food, Julia is a great partner. I really appreciate NYNG, and I hope they continue to see cultural competency as a key pillar of their platform – Zahra Marie
