About Lakin

Hi! My name is Lakin (Lay-kin). I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), LDN, and Live Unrestricted Practitioner based in Cincinnati, Ohio. I have clinical experience working in a pediatric hospital setting with disordered eating, diagnosed eating disorders, recreational and competitive athletes, and gut health. I’m passionate about helping people untangle nutrition confusion by deep-diving into current diet trends and translating research-based evidence into practical, realistic guidance. As a Non-Diet Dietitian, I believe in honoring both health and our taste buds. My goal is to help you choose fuel over fear with food, walk away feeling more confident in your nutrition decisions, and build habits that actually fit your life. I’m deeply committed to eating disorder prevention, ending weight stigma, and challenging diet culture. I envision a world where body size diversity is celebrated, and I’m proud to support clients in rebuilding trust with food and their bodies.

Approach to care

Together, we’ll approach your health with evidence-based, weight-neutral care rooted in HAES. I’m empathetic and warm, and I’ll meet you where you are without judgment. My approach blends science with practical, action-oriented steps, focusing on sustainable habits rather than quick fixes. I view health holistically, considering sleep, stress, and relationships with food, and I empower you with knowledge so you can make informed decisions that fit your life now and long term.

Your first session with Lakin

Our first appointment is a conversation, not a test. We’ll review your medical history and go deep into your relationship with food, routines, and goals, all in a non-judgmental space. You don’t need to have it all figured out before we meet. We’ll talk about what’s working, what’s not, and design 1 to 2 realistic next steps you can start implementing. I’ll support you every step of the way as we build a plan that respects your life, preferences, and pace.
