About Rachel
Rachel was born and raised in New York City, where health trends come and go in a New York minute. Personal struggles with food, body image, and a natural curiosity about health and wellness led her to dig more into the science behind nutrition. The more she learned, the more she developed an appetite for evidence-based nutrition, which eventually led her to pursue a Master’s degree in nutrition and the registered dietitian nutritionist credential.

How Nutrition Can Help With PCOS
PCOS symptoms can be difficult to manage, and much of the literature out there talks about foods to cut from your diet, without talking about what you can add, how to optimize your nutrition, or even how you can still enjoy the foods you love while working to treat your PCOS. RD Rachel Brief specializes in PCOS as well as other chronic conditions and provides actionable, sustainable changes that will benefit your unique symptoms.
