Veronica Rechten

Veronica’s study of nutrition and integrative health came from a place of needing answers and relief. Growing up with chronic illness, it took over 20 years to find a diagnosis for her genetic condition, and even after she got one, she was told there was nothing to be done. That answer wasn’t good enough! After doing some research into Functional Medicine, Veronica went back to school and achieved her Master’s of Science in Nutrition & Integrative Health from the Maryland University of Integrative Health. Veronica then began working as the Lead Nutrition Educator for the Mobile Food Lab, a non-profit run out of Ramapo College. There, she taught kids from kindergarten through middle school where their food comes from, how to make it themselves, and how to learn to try and enjoy new foods. Post-pandemic, she went to work for a Functional Medicine Registered Dietitian, seeing patients in clinical practice for meal planning, meal exposures, grocery shopping assistance, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. She also created and hosted multiple workshops on immune health; non-toxic cleaning; composting; kid’s nutrition; seasonal cooking and more. Veronica has spent almost a decade working with those trying to find the root causes of symptoms and illness, and how to manage those symptoms so they can finally be at peace in the bodies they live in. Her specialties include children’s nutrition; selective (picky) eating; digestive dysfunction; food intolerance; dyslipidemia; and blood sugar regulation. In her free time, Veronica loves playing board games with her husband and friends, listening to records, and reading mystery novels!
