Kelly Birsen

I have an intense passion for the field of health and wellness that is a important part of my life, both personally and professionally. I have an undergraduate degree in dietetics, with a minor in business, and I completed a master’s in degree in Public Health. My professional experience includes working as a dietitian and manager at a eating disorder and obesity treatment facility, Mando Group NY. I have also spent time with the US Army as a research dietitian, where my focus was on studies involving weight loss and gastric by-pass surgery. I have also worked in multiple hospitals with patients who have a variety of medical conditions including heart disease, diabetes, and kidney disease. I am also certified in Adult Weight Management. I am a member of the American Dietetic Association and Sports, Cardiovascular, and Wellness Nutrition. I also have an extensive background in the fitness industry as an AFAA certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor, and Spinning instructor. I understand the important roles that both nutrition and exercise play in achieving overall health. I am passionate about helping others to obtain an optimal quality of life through the balance of nutrition and fitness.
