Dr. Rizzo MD

I am a board-certified psychiatrist in private concierge practice in Manhattan.
I work with high-achieving professionals — executives, founders, physicians, and other public figures — who need clarity, focus, and sustainable performance.
This is not mainstream psychiatry. I do not run a high-volume insurance practice. Care is private, unhurried, and built around people who cannot afford to lose focus.
Psychiatry + longevity medicine. Out of network. Discretion is the standard.

Don’t wait until something goes wrong to start prioritizing your health.

Prevention is one of the most powerful investments you can make in your future. Small choices today can support a healthier, stronger tomorrow.

The Mediterranean diet isn't really a "diet" at all.

It's a way of eating that focuses on whole, minimally processed foods like vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, fish, olive oil, and nuts. More importantly, it's an eating pattern that many people find enjoyable and sustainable over the long term.

Research has shown that this style of eating is associated with better heart health, brain health, and overall well-being. You don't have to change everything overnight. Even small steps—like cooking with olive oil instead of butter or adding more vegetables to your meals—can make a difference.

Healthy eating isn't about being perfect. It's about building habits you can enjoy for years to come.

Have you ever tried following a Mediterranean-style way of eating?

Your immune system works around the clock, even when you don't think about it.

There's no single food or supplement that can "boost" your immune system overnight. What makes the biggest difference is the way you care for your health every day.

Getting enough sleep, eating a variety of whole foods, staying active, managing stress, and drinking enough water all help support your body's natural defenses.

Healthy aging isn't about chasing quick fixes. It's about building habits that your body can rely on for years to come.

Which healthy habit are you working on right now?

Stress is a part of life, but it shouldn't become your normal.

Many people think managing stress requires making big changes. In reality, it's often the small daily habits that make the biggest difference. Taking a short walk, getting enough sleep, enjoying a quiet cup of tea, reading a few pages of a book, or spending time with people you care about can all help you feel more grounded.

Caring for your mental well-being is just as important as caring for your physical health. They work together.

You don't have to do everything at once. Start with one small habit and build from there.

What helps you unwind after a busy day?

Healthy fats have an important place in a balanced diet.

For years, many people believed all fats were unhealthy. Today, we know that foods like olive oil, avocados, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish can be part of a heart-healthy and brain-supportive eating pattern.

Rather than avoiding fat altogether, focus on choosing the right kinds of fats and enjoying them as part of a variety of whole, nutrient-rich foods.

Healthy eating isn't about one "superfood." It's the overall pattern of your diet that matters most.

Which healthy fat do you enjoy most—avocados, nuts, olive oil, or salmon?
