About Syrah

Syrah McGivern is a Registered Dietitian based in Medford, Massachusetts who helps people improve their gut health, metabolic health, and reduce inflammation.

Her approach is rooted in both clinical experience and real life. In addition to her work as a dietitian, Syrah lives with an autoimmune disease and is a mom to a child with Type 1 Diabetes, which has deeply shaped how she thinks about food, blood sugar, and what is actually realistic for families.

Syrah works with many clients experiencing gut issues, autoimmune conditions, and blood sugar imbalances, and focuses on simple, practical strategies that fit into everyday life. She takes a food-first approach, with targeted use of herbs and supplements when helpful.

She is naturally curious and spends much of her free time reading and learning about the microbiome, nutrition, and overall health—continually bringing that knowledge into her work with clients.

Outside of her nutrition practice, Syrah spends time skiing, walking in the woods, working on an organic community farm, trying new foods, and staying connected to where food comes from. She believes that supporting health doesn’t have to be complicated—and that small, consistent changes can make a big difference.

Syrah holds a Master’s degree from the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University in Agriculture, Food, and the Environment. She completed her dietetic internship at Tulane University, her didactic training at Simmons University, and earned her undergraduate degree from Bates College.
