Atlanta, GA - April 30, 2012 Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine (ACRM) is providing nutritional counseling, support and resources for patients as part of its comprehensive approach to fertility treatment. Joining the practice, May 7, 2012 to lead its nutrition program, is Tracey Singh, RD, LD, CDE.

With almost a decade of experience, Singh will help ACRM patients understand that making positive lifestyle changes can be an enjoyable, rewarding process that will ultimately lead them to reach their desired health outcomes.

Beyond individualized nutritional support for fertility patients, Tracey will also lead nutritional classes in a group setting at ACRM's main office in Atlanta, GA. Participants in these classes will learn how to improve their nutrition and overall health with nutrition foundations, lifestyle transformations and balancing nutrition in everyday life. Tracey will work with patients to help them achieve their ideal weight or Body Mass Index (BMI) as weight in both women and men can have significant impact on reproductive health, infertility treatment success and pregnancy risk.

"I am extremely excited to be a part of the ACRM team", comments Tracey Singh, RD, LD, CDE. "My passion for nutrition coupled with my desire to work with ACRM's patient population makes this opportunity very appealing to me. My goal is to compliment and extend ACRM's existing services by providing nutrition and wellness counseling that ultimately helps each patient reach their personal goals."

Singh earned her Bachelors of Science degree in Dietetics from University of Wisconsin-Madison and her certification as Registered Dietitian from Emory University in Atlanta. Her passion for nutrition has led Singh to work in a variety of health care settings including in-patient, out-patient, and community settings. Singh began her career as a clinical dietitian at Emory University Hospital in 2005.

In 2007, her interest in disease management and prevention led Singh to pursue an opportunity at an outpatient health care company, where she provided one-on-one nutrition counseling to patients. Here, Singh developed a love for counseling and earned her certification in diabetes education (CDE) as well as a certification in adult weight management.

Recently, Singh has led research initiatives sponsored by Emory University to promote health and wellness programs within South Asian communities in the United States. She has also designed and launched international media campaigns in India targeting people at risk for heart disease and diabetes.

Singh is completing her Master of Public Health at Emory University, graduating in May 2012.

"One year ago we added Nutritional Counseling in house, and we have seen tremendous benefits for our patients", states Lisa A. Hasty, MD, infertility doctor and founding partner of ACRM.
