About Lauren

Hi, I’m Lauren. I bring 7 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian and a strong foundation in clinical and outpatient care. I earned my MS in Nutrition from Brooklyn College and my BA in Biology from the State University of New York at Geneseo. My work has taken me from hospital settings to an outpatient weight management and diabetes clinic. Outside of work, you’ll find me bicycling, at a stand-up comedy show, or enjoying the festivals and parades that give New Orleans its unique energy. I’m here to support you with warmth, curiosity, and practical guidance.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is collaborative and evidence-based. I ground my recommendations in current evidence while keeping an empathetic, nonjudgmental tone, with an emphasis on sustainable behaviours over quick fixes. We’ll tailor plans to your lifestyle and goals, with a focus on practical, achievable steps so you feel confident making long-term changes.

Your first session with Lauren

Our first appointment is all about you. Think of it as a conversation. We’ll take time to learn about your relationship with food, daily routines, and what matters most to you. You don’t need to have it all figured out yet; we’ll establish short-term goals and a practical plan together. I’ll listen to your concerns and explain how food choices relate to your health outcomes, so you leave with clarity and tangible steps you can start this week.
