Lisa Grentz

About Lisa

As a trusted leader in pediatric nutrition, I currently serve as the Formula Co-Editor for the Pediatric Nutrition Practice Group and work as a consultant for families, clinicians, and organizations seeking guidance on how to gently support infants and children through the process of enteral tube weaning to oral eating. With years of experience across clinical, academic, and community settings, I specialize in evidence-based, family-friendly nutrition strategies that empower caregivers to feel confident in feeding their children.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is rooted in collaboration, empathy, and empowerment, with the belief that nutrition is not just about food but about building confidence, joy, and trust in the feeding relationship. I emphasize gentle transitions, supporting infants and children through feeding changes at a pace that honors their readiness cues, while fostering a family-centered partnership that tailors strategies to each child’s unique needs. I also bring creativity to my work, using inviting resources and playful recipe ideas to make nutrition approachable and fun.

Your first session with Lisa

In the first consultation, families can expect a warm, collaborative session focused on understanding their child’s unique needs and the family’s goals. I will listen carefully, review feeding history, and provide clear, guidance tailored to each situation, leaving caregivers with reassurance and practical next steps.
