Kristen Nicolai, RD

Hi! I’m Kristen, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a focus on gastrointestinal health. I received a BA in Communication from Boston College, and a MS in Nutrition from Hunter College. I am based in New York, and currently work as a clinical dietitian at Mount Sinai, with expertise in dietary management of digestive symptoms and diseases, including irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, GERD, gastroparesis, eosinophilic esophagitis, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, short bowel syndrome, and celiac disease. In addition, I have experience treating patients with cardiometabolic diseases and those seeking weight management. I take an individualized approach to nutrition and enjoy getting to know each client on a personal level as we work together toward attainable health and wellness goals. With so many conflicting messages about nutrition, my goal is to provide you with the tools to help you avoid unnecessary food restrictions, make confident food choices, and improve your overall well being through a positive relationship with food. I am passionate about helping you reclaim your health so that you can be the best version of yourself. As a patient-turned provider, I hope to be able to connect with you in a more personal way because I’ve experienced it too.
