About Lexie D’Adamo MS RD (She/Her)

My Approach

I am a “non-diet” registered dietitian, meaning, I do not recommend diets (unless you have a health condition that medically requires you avoid certain foods), but rather focus on learning how to adequately nourish your body using your internal cues rather than allowing external rules dictate your eating habits. While my approach to nutrition counseling is highly individualized to each person’s unique needs, there are numerous principles that have set the foundation for my practice, including weight inclusivity, Health at Every Size® and Intuitive Eating. This involves a flexible, kind way of choosing what to eat and when, without guilt, shame or restrictions, ultimately improving your relationship with food.

My approach to nutrition counseling is centered around building trust and understanding of each client’s unique needs to ensure they receive the best care possible in their path towards recovery. I became a dietitian because of my love for food and genuine human connection. When working with me, you can expect a judgement-free, empathetic, and safe space to support you in developing a better relationship with food and your body.

My Background

I completed my dietetic internship at the James J. Peters Bronx VA Medical Center and received my Master of Science Degree in Clinical Nutrition from New York University. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating and co-occurring disorders, including various gastrointestinal conditions. I have experience working in various eating disorder treatment facilities at all levels of care, including intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient, where I have supported adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds in their road to recovery. I am an active member of both the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals and the International Federation of Eating Disorder Dietitians aiming to stay abreast of the latest research and evidence-based guidelines for treatment, while also utilizing an individualized, person-centered approach to guide my clinical practice. My resume is available upon request.

In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, traveling, experiencing different food cultures, and spending time with family, friends and my goldendoodle, Rubi.
