About Lauren
Hi! I'm Lauren - a Registered Dietitian and self-proclaimed foodie. I grew up in Northern New Jersey in an Italian American household, where shared meals and cooking together were integral to our family time together. I've always loved to cook and spent my younger years working in restaurants, juice bars, and natural grocery, where I became inspired by the ways in which food can nourish the body. With so much conflicting information readily available, I became a dietitian to bridge the gap between concrete evidence-based research and the everyday plate. I'm passionate about helping clients learn the "why" behind nutrition to build a balanced plate and a peaceful relationship with food, while focusing on small, sustainable changes to create healthy habits.
Approach to care
As a Registered Dietitian, I focus on providing care with current evidence in mind, all while keeping things practical. I work in a weight-neutral, Health At Every Size framework, focusing on habits and holistic wellness rather than quick fixes. We'll translate research into clear, doable steps that fit your life. I aim to be warm and action-oriented, so you leave each visit with understanding, confidence, and sustainable goals.
Your first session with Lauren
Our first session will be a warm, low-pressure conversation to learn about you. We'll review your medical history, explore your relationship with food, and identify short-term goals that feel realistic. You don't need to have everything figured out before we meet. We'll take time to hear what has worked and what hasn't, clarify priorities, and leave with 1 to 2 practical steps to start building a pattern that supports longevity and wellness. My goal is to make this feel collaborative, educational, and reassuring!
