Meet Judy Converse
Hi! I’m a licensed registered dietitian/nutritionist with a Bachelor’s degree in Food Science and Human Nutrition (University of Vermont) and a Master’s degree in Public Health Nutrition (University of Hawai’i). I’ve authored several books and lectured widely on nutrition assessment and strategy for chronic conditions in babies and kids, including autism, ADHD, growth and feeding concerns, picky eating, food allergy, reflux, constipation, Crohn’s disease, mood and conduct disorders, and more. I began my practice in 1999 to help children thrive in spite of a chronic condition. My practice is functional nutrition focused and has been situated within the office of Flatiron Functional Medicine along side Jill Carnahan MD since 2014.

“I’d been a nutrition professional for years before I became a mom, with training in infant, maternal, and child health to boot – but I was not prepared for the challenges my own child faced. We needed deeper help than our pediatricians knew how to offer. And, we expected health and well being for our child too! Do you?”
