About Lauren

Hi, I'm Lauren, a registered dietitian with experience in both the acute care and outpatient settings. I specialize in weight management and the treatment of metabolic disorders. I'm passionate about empowering individuals to achieve lasting health improvements. By working closely with clients, I create personalized nutrition plans that support sustainable weight loss and help manage conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and GI disorders. My holistic approach emphasizes balanced, practical eating habits that seamlessly fit into everyday life while promoting long-term wellness.

Approach to care

My approach to care is grounded in evidence-based practice, ensuring that the guidance I provide is backed by the latest research and tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I believe in practicing moderation, helping clients find balance without restrictive diets or extremes. I also support intuitive eating, encouraging clients to trust their bodies and make food choices based on hunger and satisfaction rather than rules. Additionally, I embrace many of the Health at Every Size philosophies, focusing on overall well-being and self-care, regardless of weight, and helping clients build a positive relationship with food and their bodies.

Your first session with Lauren

During your first nutrition assessment, we'll start by discussing your personal health history, including any medical conditions, medications, and lifestyle factors that may affect your nutrition. I’ll also ask about any previous attempts at diet or exercise for weight management to better understand what has or hasn't worked for you in the past. Together, we'll talk about your current goals and what you'd like to achieve. I’ll also address any concerns or questions you have about nutrition counseling or making changes to your habits. My goal is to create a personalized plan that aligns with your needs and supports your long-term health and wellness.
