Meet Our Team!
Lexie D’Adamo, MS RD (she/her/hers)
Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist, Co-Owner
I am an “anti-diet” dietitian who utilizes a judgement-free, trauma-informed, Health At Every Size® approach when working with clients.
I specialize in gastrointestinal conditions, digestive health, eating disorders and intuitive eating. I provide evidence-based, medical nutrition therapy for various gastrointestinal conditions, including IBS, GERD and acid reflux, SIBO, gut dysbiosis, gastroparesis and undiagnosed GI symptoms.
My approach to nutrition counseling is highly individualized and 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. I help clients rediscover their innate intuitive eater and ability to choose foods in a flexible, kind manner, without guilt, shame or restrictions, ultimately improving their relationship with food.
I completed my dietetic internship at James J. Peters Bronx VA Medical Center and received my Master of Science Degree in Clinical Nutrition from New York University. I have extensive 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.
Eliza Heberlein, RD (she/her/hers)
Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist, Co-Owner
I am an anti-diet dietitian, who practices trauma informed care using a Health at Every Size® approach. I earned my Bachelors degree in Nutritional Sciences from Rutgers University, and completed my ten month supervised practice at Stony Brook University’s dietetic internship program.
My previous experience includes working as a per diem clinical dietitian at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, and as a private practice dietitian, in a small practice in Pennsylvania. I also spent seven years working as a nutrition therapist in the eating disorder unit at RWJ University Hospital in Somerset, NJ. During this time, I gained extensive experience, working in both the inpatient and partial hospitalization programs, supporting people of all ages and all walks of life as they began the process of healing from their eating disorder.
Currently, I co-own Rest and Digest Nutrition, LLC, where I work with clients who are struggling with eating issues, supporting them in their healing journey as they build a better relationship with food and their bodies. From a young age, my appreciation for human connection, gardening, cooking, food traditions, and the sciences, drew me to the field of dietetics. This prompted me to explore the many ways in which I can support clients as they improve the quality of their lives through the development of a more supportive relationship with food and their bodies. With my desire for greater knowledge and my constant drive to enhance her abilities as a practicing registered dietitian, I am always striving to achieve expertise in all aspects of nutritional sciences. I am also continually working to better understand the intersectionality of eating disorders and disordered eating, as I feels passionate about supporting the broader social justice movement for systemic change. I regularly attend continuing education events within the nutrition community in attempts to gain insight and wisdom from fellow dietitian colleagues and other clinicians. As nutrition is such a progressive and important field, keeping up with the current research and practices allows me to continue to share this evolving knowledge with my patients.
In my free time, I love spending time with family and friends, watching Netflix, reading, enjoying nature, doing yard work, traveling, cooking, and experiencing new food cultures.
