Lafayette Anderson

About Lafayette

Hi, I’m Lafayette. I’m a Registered Dietitian in Los Angeles with five years of experience and an MS in Nutrition Science. I’m also NASM-CPT certified, which helps me bring a fitness-informed lens to nutrition. My career spans clinical and hospital settings, private practice, community health, and sports nutrition, so I’m practiced at tailoring plan and language to fit real life, not just a textbook. Outside work, you’ll find me lifting weights, swimming laps, or exploring ballet, guitar, baroque music, art, acting, and hiking. I’m here to help you build something sustainable and enjoyable for your health.

Approach to care

Care philosophy: I lead with evidence-based, science-forward care, translating current research into practical steps you can actually follow. I strive to be empathetic and warm, offering a judgment-free space where you feel heard and supported. My approach is direct and action-oriented, helping you take clear steps with accountability that fit your life. I practice from a Health At Every Size perspective, focusing on sustainable behaviors and well-being rather than chasing a number on the scale. You’re a whole person and I’ll educate you along the way so you can choose confidently.

Your first session with Lafayette

What to expect in your first appointment: Our time is about you. Think of it as a conversation, not a test. We’ll review your medical history and daily routines, talk through your relationship with food, and start identifying what matters most. We’ll establish short-term goals and discuss which labs or biometrics might be insightful. The space is collaborative and non-judgmental, and you don’t need to have everything figured out yet. Together, we’ll outline a realistic plan with small, doable steps to get started.
