About Me

Eling Tsai, MPH RD

I am a New York-based registered dietitian nutritionist and diabetes specialist with a special interest in improving difficult relationships with food and health. I am proud to provide evidence-based and weight-neutral nutrition care, with specialties in eating disorders/disordered eating, diabetes management, and family feeding dynamics.

My nutrition philosophy is rooted in the belief that food is more than just sustenance, but also an important source of connection. I see food as a common ground - an experience that unites individuals, an important link to cultural identity, and most importantly, a tool one can use as they connect with their own body and wellbeing. This belief inspired the name “Food in Common,” reflecting the relational nature between food, people, and one’s own body.

I offer counseling, speaking, and consulting services to support individuals and communities alike in fostering a peaceful and energizing relationship with food.

  • gentle, affirming, curious, and evidence-based. My role is to be an active listener and reflect back patterns and conflicting beliefs I like to add a bit of humor and light-heartedness when called for. Counseling is a safe space for your emotions as you make progress toward your nutrition goals.

  • you’re looking to stop eating by food rules and develop more confidence in your choices. We’ll find ways for you to eat based on the rhythm of your body’s needs, being sure to account for your specific lifestyle and foods that offer you Vitamin P (P for pleasure).

  • the benefits of approaching nutrition from a Health at Every Size lens! Also…rewatching old seasons of Survivor, living abroad in Taiwan, or my family recipe for soy marinated eggs.

“I feel healthy and free to be myself. The support Eling offers is incredibly important and impactful, and in my case, life-changing.”
