ABOUT JODY SNYDER ENGEL
I’ve always believed that clear communication can help move science into action.For nearly two decades at the National Institutes of Health, I put that belief into practice—leading disease prevention communications to strengthen visibility and collaboration. I focused on translating complex science into clear, actionable information that supported researchers and advanced the field of disease prevention. That same commitment ultimately inspired me to shift from supporting prevention at a population level to helping individuals more directly through clinical practice.That led me to Maryland Weight Care, a small private medical practice dedicated to providing individualized, compassionate weight care for every patient, where I now serve as the clinic’s Registered Dietitian. I help patients develop sustainable nutrition habits and build confidence in their health journeys, combining evidence-based counseling with practical, real-world strategies. I also draw on my communications background to support the clinic’s outreach, patient education, and marketing initiatives. My approach is rooted in meeting patients where they are, recognizing that there’s no one-size-fits-all path to better health. I believe in practical, sustainable strategies that fit real lives—not rigid rules or quick fixes.This commitment to supporting others extends to my volunteer work. I proudly serve on the Board of Directors at CaringMatters, a nonprofit that ensures no one in our community has to face serious illness or grief alone. Through a network of trained volunteers and professionals, the organization provides free, compassionate support services to children, adults, and families navigating serious illness and grief — including an overnight weekend camp for grieving children and teens.Throughout my career, the common thread has been connection—whether sharing research that informs public health or helping patients make meaningful changes in their daily lives. I thrive at the intersection of health and communication, where clear information and human connection can truly change lives. I’m proud to be part of the team at Maryland Weight Care.
