Why Rebecca Herman, RDN CDN chose to be in the helping profession
From as far back as I can recall, I've been drawn to the idea of making a positive impact on the lives of others. It's not just a career choice for me; it's an inherent part of who I am. The ability to impart knowledge and skills to uplift and support individuals brings me a unique sense of joy and fulfillment. Witnessing their transformation, as they grow in confidence and take charge of their lives, is incredibly gratifying.
In my interactions with patients, my primary focus is on establishing a strong connection and fostering a sense of empowerment within them. I firmly believe that everyone possesses untapped potential, and my role is to help them recognize and harness it. Together, we embark on a journey towards better health and well-being, celebrating each small victory along the way.
For me, it's not just about addressing immediate concerns or symptoms; it's about equipping individuals with the tools and mindset needed to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives. Each session is an opportunity to inspire hope, instill confidence, and guide them toward a brighter, healthier future.
Rebecca Herman, RDN CDN's approach
In my approach to nutrition counseling, I prioritize personalized care tailored to each individual's needs and circ*mstances. I firmly believe that one size does not fit all when it comes to nutrition, so I invest considerable effort in crafting recommendations and plans that are both realistic and attainable for my patients.
Education plays a central role in my counseling sessions. I provide my patients with comprehensive information and resources to help them gain a deeper understanding of how nutrition impacts their bodies and overall health. This knowledge not only empowers them to make informed choices but also serves as a powerful motivator to adopt healthier habits.
I strive to create a collaborative environment where my patients feel empowered and in control of their own care. By involving them in the decision-making process and respecting their individual preferences and goals, I aim to foster a sense of ownership and accountability in their journey toward better health.
Ultimately, my goal is to equip my patients with the knowledge, tools, and confidence they need to make sustainable changes to their diet and lifestyle, leading to improved well-being and quality of life.

Rebecca Herman, RDN CDN's experience working with the Jewish community
My extensive experience working within the Jewish community spans many years, during which I've cultivated a deep understanding of its unique dynamics and challenges. Drawing from my strong clinical background and years in private practice, I've developed a keen insight into the dietary concerns and aspirations of individuals within this community.
As a member of the Jewish community myself, I intimately understand the intricacies of our cultural and religious practices, particularly those related to food. From the joyous celebrations of Shabbat and holidays to the communal gatherings of simchas, food holds a central place in our traditions and rituals.
Navigating the intersection of health and tradition can be complex, but my firsthand understanding allows me to provide nuanced guidance and support. I recognize the importance of preserving cultural identity while also promoting optimal health and well-being. This holistic approach is reflected in my counseling, where I strive to empower individuals to make informed dietary choices that align with both their cultural heritage and personal health goals.
My experience within the Jewish community has not only deepened my clinical expertise but also enriched my ability to connect with and support individuals on their journey toward improved health and wellness within the context of our shared cultural heritage.
