Sara Shama, RDN

Sara graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Nutritional Science and Dietetics from Rutgers University in 2002 and completed a 10 month internship through the Sodexo Health Care Services Division of the New York Metropolitan Dietetic Program with academic excellence.  Sara has worked both in-patient and out-patient settings to help individuals achieve their weight loss and health related goals.

Sara feels that it is important to achieve healthy lifestyle and not look at weight loss as being on another diet.  She has been on many diets and could not maintain a healthy weight until she became educated on how the body works and is fueled by food.  Sara understands the difficulties of a busy lifestyle, so she continually reminds her patients to “keep it real” and helps them to set realistic expectations for them to succeed.

In her spare time, Sara enjoys reading, yoga, and spending time with her family by doing puzzles, hiking, having light saber battles, and taking road trips.
