blog #108: Small Changes Diet by Keri Gans, MS, RD, CDN

Keri Gans is a Registered Dietitian in private practice in Manhattan. She holds a Master’s Degree in Clinical Nutrition from New York University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Ohio University. She   is a Spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association (ADA) and ADA Delegate for the New York State Dietetic Association (NYSDA.)

While attending an American Dietetic Association sponsored forum at which she spoke, I sought out the guidance of Keri Gans, an NYU graduate, who has become my mentor. I was immediately impressed by both her physical and digital presence. Unlike many traditional dietitians, Keri has found a way to relate with the younger generation through her use of digital media. As her intern, I help manage her Twitter profile, aggregating her past tweets into categories so they may be repackaged and referenced. I also participate in her client sessions by providing nutritional research, fitness knowledge, and administrative support. I have found observing her therapeutic approach profoundly inspiring; she identifies with a diverse clientele and helps them to fine-tune their objectives in a way I have never seen before. 

Keri's book will be available March 15th, 2011. Get involved and join her fan page! Until the release check out her daily tweets. Keri is both knowledge and inspirational, so stay tuned!
