Welcome!  Thanks for stopping by!

I'm Stefania Medvedik, RD, RN, CDCES, CDN. I'm a Registered Dietitian, Registered Nurse, and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. Simnutrition is a nutrition counseling and consulting practice based in Long Island, NY.  'sim' stands for simple intuitive meals and my initials. 

​

I ultimately became a dietitian because I was motivated by my personal experience with diet and health-I overcame an illness that was brought on by the wrong food choices, and none of the many doctors I saw could help me!

​

After over a year figuring my health out on my own, and working in science/health journalism and nursing, I decided to become an expert myself-in nutrition-something that many in the medical field just aren't well versed in. No more relying on media myths, misinformation, and the limitations of health care providers or people with zero credentials (back then 'influencers' didn't exist) who pass themselves off as nutrition experts!   

​

I've counseled thousands of clients and patients, helping them reach their wellness goals. I consider myself a 'holistic' dietitian because I address the whole picture when it comes to my clients health. Factors such as sleep, gut health, mental health/stress management ALL play a role in wellness outcomes and many conditions actually overlap. I always emphasize an anti inflammatory approach to eating as inflammation is associated with pretty much every condition!

​

Specialties include:

-Healthy weight loss 

-Diabetes (pre, type 2, type 1)

-Food sensitivities, intolerances and gut health

-Hormone health-ie thyroid, cortisol, gut hormones

-An anti inflammatory diet approach

​

EXPERIENCE: My background includes working in clinical and community nutrition, nursing, and in science and health media.  I am  the RD/CDCES and insulin pump trainer at three locations of a very busy endocrine practice in Long Island, conducting >150 nutrition counseling visits monthly.  I have extensive speaking experience, including being a featured speaker at Northwell Health's Annual Diabetes Conference in 2017 and a speaker at Hofstra's Brain Health Conference in 2019. I have been a preceptor for dietetic interns,  guest lectured at Cooper Union in NYC and presented to students at Long Island University. I also serve as Secretary on the board of directors of Charles Evans Center, a medical center in Long Island catering to underserved populations.

​

EDUCATION: I hold bachelors degrees from New York University in nursing and in journalism. I completed my nutrition education and Dietetic Internship at C.W. Post Long Island University. In addition to being a Registered Dietitian and Registered Nurse, I have an additional certification as a Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, and am a certified pump trainer in medtronic insulin pumps with extensive experience in insulin regimens and continuous glucose monitoring
