Alenka Ravnik-List

Welcome to Eating Right Matters. My name is Alenka Ravnik-List. I am an international Registered Dietitian and Diabetes Educator.

I was born in Argentina where I did my educational training at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in dietetics and a Master’s degree in Nutrition. I moved to New York City where I became a Registered Dietitian and a Certified Diabetes Educator. I worked in New York for the past 19 years, primarily with Mount Sinai Hospital where I served as a Diabetes Program Coordinator.

I have contributed nutrition articles to various newsletters, lectured to medical professionals and patients, and been interviewed as a nutrition expert by television and newspaper journalists.

I have corporate experience working as a Field-based Clinical Educator representing the AstraZeneca Steady Start Educator Network. In this role I supported patients on injectable therapy and provided ongoing support to build confidence and retention for prescribed therapy.

Engaging with patients in these settings made me realize that I wanted to help people on a deeper level. I started my private practice to give clients the individualized care they need to meet their nutritional goals.

I look to educate people that eating right matters and healthy eating is possible. I believe that food should be enjoyable, while at the same time, used as a form of healing.

With a passion for nutrition and food, I thrive on teaching people to set tangible goals and achieve healthier lifestyles through changes that are realistic and sustainable.

I will empower you to eat well and feel great by harnessing the power of food as medicine.

Nutrition Advice You Can Trust

Whether you have been diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, classified with mild, moderate or morbid obesity, or you simply want to have a more nutritious diet … I am committed to offer you a trustworthy, and science-based food and nutrition plan to improve your health.

Because Eating Right Matters

It is important to make good food choices in order to develop healthy eating habits and become more active. Taking control of your health is a serious process and getting accurate and reliable information isn’t always easy. In fact, the amount of nutrition misinformation reported in the media is deceiving and overwhelming. That’s why it is important to choose a professional who has the credentials and is trained to help you succeed.

Whether you have a ‘face-to-face’ consult, phone or internet counseling, starting new habits and making positive lifestyle changes with my guidance will enable you to maintain a more healthful lifestyle without having to give up your favorite foods!

Accountability

I am available for regular check-ins, support, and accountability to provide you the extra motivation you need to achieve and maintain your healthy living goals.

Accessibility

Consultations are in-person, via phone and/or web-based video chats so you can speak from the comfort of your own home or when time permits according to your schedule.

Eating right doesn’t have to be complicated. This is why I offer a variety of nutrition counseling settings and mobile options to help you meet your specific nutrition goals to meet your busy lifestyle.

Are you ready to get on a path to a healthier lifestyle? Contact me to discuss your needs and goals, and together we will set-up a personal, well thought out road map. Remember…

What to Expect

During your visit

What to Expect

During the initial assessment, I gather information so I may get to know you. This includes dietary habits, current lifestyle, medical history, medicines you are taking, and more.

The Follow up sessions, serve as periodic support as you work towards your nutrition goals.

Together, we will work to create an attainable plan to achieve your goals, while providing you with a balanced nutrition education plan.

Instilling healthy habits takes time, and practice. There are no quick fixes. Science tells us it takes time to master new behaviors. For some, it could take a month; others several months, or even years.

To this day, I still am learning about nutrition and practicing mindful eating since it is a constant progression, one which is not always linear.
