About

Emily Reich, RD, LD, CDN is a registered dietitian at PLC's New York clinic focused on integrative and functional nutrition for complex chronic conditions. She received nutrition education at Stony Brook University and The University of Alabama and is pursuing a Doctor of Clinical Nutrition at Notre Dame of Maryland University. Her doctoral research centers on gut microbiome optimization and metabolic health in chronic disease. Before PLC, she worked in corporate wellness and private practice with medically complex clients, including GI, autoimmune, hormonal, and metabolic concerns.

What to Know

Signature approach

Reich connects symptoms, labs, history, gut health, and metabolic signals into one nutrition picture. Her functional-nutrition lens is useful when a patient has overlapping GI, autoimmune, hormonal, or metabolic issues that do not fit a single diet template. Plans are individualized and evidence-based, with microbiome and metabolic-health research informing the way she interprets patterns.

What sets them apart

  • Doctoral work in progress. Her DCN research focus, gut microbiome plus metabolic health in chronic disease, is directly relevant to complex nutrition cases.
  • NY clinical credential set. RD, LD, and CDN give national and New York-specific dietitian credentials.
  • Complex-condition scope. GI, autoimmune, hormonal, and metabolic concerns make her broader than a general weight-management RD.

Before You Book

  • Care focus. Complex GI, autoimmune, hormonal, and metabolic nutrition questions.
  • How it fits. Nutrition guidance sits alongside physician review of labs, imaging, and risk markers.
  • Related care. For diabetes and adult-obesity coaching, compare with Giavonna Hirtes, RD.
