Dr. Shetreat-Klein is an integrative pediatric neurologist
who is board-certified in Adult and Pediatric Neurology as
well as in Pediatrics. She teaches integrative neurology as
faculty at New York Medical College and UMDNJ, and lectures
nationally and internationally. She completed residency
training for Pediatrics at Long Island Jewish Medical
Center, and then her Adult and Child Neurology fellowship
at Montefiore Medical Center. Prior to that, she received
her medical degree from Albert Einstein College of
Medicine, where she was awarded the Edward Padow Award for
Excellence in Pediatrics and graduated with a Special
Distinction in Research in Child Neurology for her work in
Autism. Dr. Shetreat-Klein graduated with honors from
Columbia College in New York City with a B.A. in English
literature.
Dr. Shetreat-Klein sits on expert advisory boards for
Autism Society of America’s Treatment Guided Research
Initiative founded by Dr. Martha Herbert, for Healthy
Child, and for Better School Foods. A “foodie” and lifelong
environmental activist, Dr. Shetreat-Klein’s passion is to
understand the connection between food, environmental
exposures and health. In 2008, she started Mitzvah Meat and
Mindful Meat, a co-op bringing local, grass-fed,
humanely-raised and -slaughtered meat and chicken to both
kosher and non-kosher communities in the tri-state area.
She also collaborates on work with other practitioners
towards mindful conception and birth because she believes
strongly in the lifelong impact of the “primal period,”
from conception to 1 year of age.
