About Lauren

"Hey there! I’m Lauren Spradling, MS Ed, RDN, LDN, NBC HWC – your go-to registered dietitian nutritionist and health coach! With over 8 years of experience, I’ve had the pleasure of helping both kids and adults navigate their nutrition journeys, whether it's managing heart health, tackling diabetes, fueling athletic performance, or finding a healthy balance with food. Whether you're looking to lose weight, gain it, or maintain a healthier lifestyle, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way. I can’t wait to hear more about you and your goals so we can kick off this exciting journey together!"

Approach to care

My approach to care is all about creating nutrition that fits you. There are no "bad" or "good" foods out there ( Technically yes, poisonous and foods you are allergic to are bad. Please don't eat them!) I use science and humor to help support your nutrition goals.

Your first session with Lauren

Our journey together kicks off right from your first session! We'll start with some easy 'get to know you' questions to help me understand where you're coming from, then dive into your unique goals and how we can make them happen. I love setting both short-term and long-term goals to give us a clear path forward and keep you motivated along the way. We’ll also chat about things like your medical history, eating habits, current activity level (including workouts and day-to-day movement), and of course, your dreams for the future. Don’t worry—this is a relaxed and supportive space where we’ll take it one step at a time, at a pace that works for you!
