About Lacy

Hi, I’m Lacy, and I’m grateful you’re here. I bring 20 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, with a BS in Human Nutrition from Clemson and an MS in Human Nutrition from Winthrop. My career spans various settings, including clinical settings, community health, academia, and private practice, with a focus on medical nutrition therapy, teaching nutrition at the university level, weight loss counseling, dialysis and hospice dietetics, nutrition writing, and course development. I also have expertise in optimizing results for clients using GLP-1 medications, ensuring health, muscle preservation, and long-term success. My work has been featured in Parade.com, Fitbit, Byrdie, Reader’s Digest, FOX24, and CN2, and I am ranked one of the top dietitians in the area. After losing 50 pounds myself, my goal as a dietitian is to combine my clinical expertise with lived experience to help you reach your goals without extremes.

Approach to care

My care philosophy centers on evidence-based, compassionate partnership. I believe in translating current science into clear, doable plans while meeting you where you are. We’ll pursue lasting change over quick fixes. We’ll approach you holistically—mind, body, and daily life—combining practical steps, education, and steady support to help you feel capable and hopeful.

Your first session with Lacy

Our first appointment is all about you. We'll review your medical history and take a deep dive into your relationship with food, your routines, and your goals. This is a judgment-free, low-pressure conversation, and you don’t need to have everything figured out yet. Together, we’ll start shaping a realistic, personalized plan with 1-2 clear goals to begin. I’ll be here to listen, explain, and support you every step of the way.
