Gloria's Share: “I hate water. I rarely notice when I’m thirsty. If it were up to me, I would only drink coffee, tea and the occasional glass of wine. I would dry up into a sweet and shriveled version of myself… like a raisin.”

Sasha Silver, MS, RDN || Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (she, her)

Bio
Sasha’s food philosophy involves creating a symbiotic relationship with food. We are individuals, and our nutritional needs are unique. We feed, fuel, and manage our bodies differently. The goal is to connect, identify and build balanced nourishment AND pleasure with a compassionate and flexible attitude. With a background in child development, Sasha has a passion for working with young children and teens. Having struggled with her own relationship with food, Sasha has made it her mission to help others identify and develop intuitive eating practices through a non-diet, weight-inclusive, evidence-based nutritional approach. Sasha specializes in eating disorders (ARFID, AN, BN, BED, etc.) and disordered eating patterns. All foods can fit! EveryBODY is different and should be treated as such.

Sasha's Share: “I would call myself an adventurous eater! I will try just about anything! My most recent adventure: The Bug Bagel. Yes, it was a bagel with cream cheese, mealworms, crickets, and avocado. Delicious!”
