About Lauren

Even as a young girl in Tennesse, I always loved nutrition, food, and science. What started as a passion for serving my family and friends, led to a career as a healthcare professional. As a dietitian with over 15 years of experience, I have worked in a variety of settings from outpatient, dialysis, to high level acute ICU. This breadth of experience gives me the knowledge, skills, and experience to assist patients with a number of complex medical conditions.

Approach to care

I like to do a patient centered approach, where we work together to build a plan for your success. I do not believe in one sit fits all, so I will make you a part of the health journey. More than me telling uou what to do, we will work together as a team.

Your first session with Lauren

During our first session, I will want to get to know you as we build a rapport and relationship. I will want to dive into your full medical history, gathering any labs and medications. We will go over a normal day of eating for you. I will give you some initial tips and tricks, and provide a sample meal plan that we can build on week by week.

Education

Tennessee Technological University

Hobbies

International travel- I have been to over 70 countries! It is a lifelong dream to visit every country in the world. I also love enjoying nature. You can find me hiking, camping, and going on new adventures with my dog Walter.
