Anya Rosen is a Registered Dietitian and Functional Medicine Practitioner based in New York City. She founded Birchwell on the premise that, by getting to the root cause of an illness, relief is possible for even complex, chronic cases.
Rosen spent years studying evidence-based nutrition from both a conventional and unconventional lens and found there is no one size fits all approach to healthcare. Because of this, she is deeply open-minded in her service delivery and does not subscribe to any strict schools of thought. This allows her to provide personalized support to each individual client, with the focus being on what works for them.
Having struggled with her own gut and hormone issues, Rosen knows what it’s like to fall between the cracks of conventional medicine. She has seen the power of food, exercise, supplementation, and lifestyle profoundly change lives. She is deeply passionate about sharing access to revolutionary treatment options and helping her clients improve their quality of life for the long haul.
