Our philosophy: growth, education, and a nonjudgmental space
At New York HRT, our philosophy is grounded in the belief that all of us are constantly growing and evolving. Health is not a straight line, and improvement doesn’t happen through shame, pressure, or cookie‑cutter advice. It happens through clarity, consistency, and support.
We aim to create an environment where people can learn in a nonjudgmental, supportive setting. That means you’ll never be rushed, dismissed, or made to feel uncomfortable asking questions. We take time to explain the “why” behind recommendations because when you understand your options, you’re more likely to follow through and see real, lasting results.
We also believe learning goes both ways. Every patient brings their own experiences, challenges, and insights. When those are respected and valued, it creates a stronger care experience, one where people feel empowered, not dependent; educated, not overwhelmed; and supported, not judged.

Christine Giangreco, Treatment Coordinator, Nutrition Specialist
I'm Christine Giangreco, Treatment Coordinator and Nutrition & Lifestyle Coach at New York HRT in Victor, NY. I’m here for women and individuals who are moving through perimenopause, menopause, and the body changes that can come with that and who want support that feels both knowledgeable and truly human.
Menopause isn’t “just something you have to push through.” For many people it affects energy, sleep, mood, weight, confidence, and sexual well-being and it can be frustrating when symptoms are minimized or brushed off. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and supported, with clear next steps and a plan that fits your real life.
My approach blends practical strategy with compassionate coaching. I earned my MBA from the University of Rochester and continued my education at Harvard Medical School in Nutrition and Lifestyle coaching. I use that background to translate the noise and confusion into simple, doable routines so you can feel secure and knowledgeable about the decisions you are making.
I also work closely with clients who are using GLP-1 medications. These tools can be incredibly helpful, and they work best when paired with supportive nutrition and lifestyle habits like protecting lean muscle, prioritizing protein and nutrient dense foods, supporting digestion, and making sure the changes you’re making are sustainable long-term.
Whether you’re looking for symptom support, metabolic guidance, or a steadier path forward, I’m here to help you feel stronger, more confident, and more at home in your body.
