Areas of Care
Specialized care for the moments nutrition matters most
Every plan at MBD Care starts from clinical evidence — your history, labs, and medications — and ends in food you can actually live with.
Adult Weight Management
Structured, judgment-free obesity care — including nutrition support alongside GLP-1 and other anti-obesity medications, metabolic health, and sustainable habit change.
Pediatric Weight & Growth
Family-centered nutrition for children and adolescents that protects growth, self-esteem, and a healthy relationship with food — never crash diets.
Diabetes Care & Education
Comprehensive support for type 1, type 2, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes: glucose patterns, carbohydrate strategy, CGM interpretation, and medication timing.
About Your Clinician
Tatiana Kidanov-Shifrot, MS, RD, CDN, CDCES
Founder and Clinical Director of MBD Care, Tatiana built her practice on a simple conviction: nutrition advice should meet the same standard as any other medical treatment.
As a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist with a Master of Science in nutrition, she works at the intersection of food, medication, and lab data — collaborating with your physicians so your nutrition plan supports, rather than competes with, the rest of your care.
Her advanced training as a Certified Menopause Specialist and her Certificate in Obesity Interventions for Adults and Pediatrics reflect the patients she serves every day in Staten Island and Brooklyn: women navigating midlife metabolic change, adults pursuing durable weight health, families supporting their children, and people living with diabetes at every stage.

The MBD Method
Medically based, personally built
Care at MBD follows a clinical arc — assess, treat, and adjust — the same way any good medical plan does.

Comprehensive Assessment
A full review of your medical history, labs, medications, eating patterns, and goals. For pediatric patients, growth curves and family routines are part of the picture from day one.
2
Your Medical Nutrition Plan
A personalized, evidence-based plan that fits your diagnosis, your culture, your schedule, and your kitchen — with clear targets you and your physicians can track.
3
Follow-Up & Adjustment
Regular visits to review progress, interpret new labs or CGM data, adjust for medication changes, and keep momentum through real life — holidays, travel, and all.
