Lindsay Lanier

About Lindsay

I've been a registered dietitian for 17 years, with experience working with a wide variety of patient populations in acute care, long-term care, and most recently working with a kidney disease population on dialysis. Diabetes and kidney disease are two of my main interests. I believe in the importance of slowing kidney disease progression through lifestyle interventions. I also really love guiding discussions surrounding your relationship with food, emotional eating, and dismantling diet culture messaging.

Approach to care

My approach is rooted in building trust and creating a space where patients feel comfortable discussing their goals, concerns, and experiences. I prioritize rapport-building because I believe that true success in healthcare starts with a strong, supportive relationship. I generally take a weight-neutral approach in my practice, because the scale never tells the entire story nor captures a complete picture of our health. However, I do acknowledge that some people want to focus on losing weight. We will only discuss body weight if you want to! My job is to translate the science into actionable steps you can take to lead a healthier lifestyle, while being your cheerleader along the way. I also want to be a safe space for LGBTQIA+ individuals.

Your first session with Lindsay

For the first session, we are just getting to know each other! Everyone has their own story, and I want to know yours. I also know a lot of people may be nervous about seeing a dietitian, as we can cover vulnerable topics. I want to make sure you're at ease with me before we dive in deeper!
