Lisa Underwood

About Lisa

With 20 years of patient focused experience, I have worked in acute care hospital and sub-acute rehabilitation care with adult patients. As a science-based dietitian, my role on your health care team is to assist and guide you towards the healthiest path with nutrition. Growing up in the United States Virgin Islands and educated in California, I have experienced many different cultures and appreciate how important food is to each of our unique cultures. Traveling and living in Italy, I learned how important food and the preparation of food can be to maintain the close human connection we have with our community. If you like food and cooking, let's start the journey together today!

Approach to care

My approach to care is centered on your needs and health goals. My patients often tell me that they appreciate that I listen to their struggles and meet them where they are at! Nutrition can be difficult to understand, and I will help you navigate your health concerns while supporting you through your journey. If you are living with diabetes or trying to reach a healthy weight goal, I am here to guide, coach, and encourage your success as well as your difficulties. Let's start the teamwork today!
