Giavonna Hirtes, RD
Registered Dietitian · Princeton Longevity Center
Medical nutrition therapy for diabetes, adult obesity, cardiometabolic health, and prevention
About
Giavonna Hirtes, RD is a registered dietitian at PLC's New York clinic. She earned her Food and Nutrition degree with a Dietetics concentration and completed supervised internship training at Montclair State University, then became credentialed through the Commission on Dietetic Registration in 2014. Her career spans inpatient, outpatient, retail, community, and military-installation nutrition. Before PLC, she led diabetes self-management and heart-disease-prevention nutrition programs at Ocean Health Initiatives in New Jersey.
What to Know
Signature approach
Hirtes works through medical nutrition therapy: condition-specific education, personalized goals, and follow-up that connects food choices with glucose, lipids, blood pressure, and weight. Her diabetes-lifestyle-coach training and adult-obesity certificate let her treat cardiometabolic risk as one connected picture rather than separate issues beside the PLC exam.
What sets them apart
- Broad setting history. Inpatient, outpatient, retail, community, and military-installation work give her more population range than a single-clinic path.
- Diabetes plus obesity training. Diabetes Lifestyle Coach training and CDR adult-obesity intervention training fit PLC's metabolic-risk audience.
- Public-health program experience. Running diabetes and heart-disease-prevention programs adds group-teaching and behavior-change depth.
Before You Book
- Care focus. Diabetes, prediabetes, adult obesity, and cardiometabolic nutrition paired with the New York exam.
- How it fits. Her nutrition guidance supports the same-day PLC workflow and follow-up planning.
- Related care. If complex GI, autoimmune, or hormonal nutrition is the main need, compare with Emily Reich, RD, LD, CDN.
