Amanda Akbar

Amanda Frothingham is a former professional dancer turned Registered Dietitian. Her interest in nutrition started when she was introduced to the career while in recovery from her eating disorder. Seeing her dietitian's impact on her life motivated her to begin the journey to becoming a dietitian in hopes of making that same impact in other people's lives. Her exposure to clinical nutrition at NewYork- Presbyterian Hospital also allows her to work with individuals experiencing an array of conditions including digestive disease, diabetes, sports nutrition, and more.

Amanda believes that everyone deserves nutrition care and utilizes a personalized and realistic approach when creating goals for her patients. She understands that nutrition is something we work on every day so she utilizes weekly check-ins and communications with her patients outside of her sessions to ensure they receive the most beneficial support and are able to meet their goals as efficiently as possible.

Amanda believes nutrition is not one size fits all. Her mission is to make nutrition care as simple as possible and create small achievable weekly goals for her patients based on their lifestyle. She truly believes in the power of food freedom and wants to ensure that regardless of what your goals are, you feel heard, supported, and challenged when you work with Amanda.
