Melissa Reade MS, CDN, CNS, NB-HWC

Integrative Health Advisor

Melissa Reade is a New York-based Nutritionist and Health Coach. She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition and Integrative Health from Maryland University of Integrative Health and a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition Science and Biology from Syracuse University. She additionally holds the Board Certified Nutrition Specialist designation from the American Nutrition Association and the Certified Dietitian-Nutritionist credential from New York State. She is also a Registered Yoga Teacher.

Melissa was inspired to pursue a career in Nutrition and Integrative Medicine after a twelve year battle with migraines and chronic gut-issues. Her personal health journey is what compels her to do the work she does every day. She knows what it is like to be desperate to feel well and how to make health and wellness feasible for all. Her aim is to listen to her patients deeply and help them to understand their innate capacity for healing, one step at a time. She loves to educate and empower people to take control of their health. She is passionate about using a highly individualized approach to health, as no two people are alike, and she advocates for the use of nutrition, movement, sleep, and mindfulness as powerful, therapeutic tools.

Most likely to find me: At a hot yoga or dance class, seeking out the green spaces of NYC, listening to her classic vinyl collection, reading the latest literature in evidence-based nutrition and cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Her current favorite is gluten and blood sugar friendly, chocolate zucchini bread!

Previous positions include the lead Nutritionist at Wellness By Mel, Health Coach at Parsley Health, Nutritionist at Colon & Rectal Surgeons and Specialists of New York, Nutritionist at Northwell Health OMEP Clinic.
