Loredana Cunningham

About Loredana

My name is Loredana but please call me Lori. As a registered dietitian with 25 years of clinical experience, I have devoted my career to helping patients in all age groups - from neonates to adults. My experiences cover diverse settings, including acute care/intensive care, pediatric outpatient, home nutrition support and clinical management. I hold two specialist certifications - one focused on pediatrics, specifically critical care and one focused on nutrition support for patients that require tube feedings or parenteral nutrition “TPN”. I have a passion for helping pediatric patients and their families meet healthy goals for growth, weight maintenance, handling food allergies and gastrointestinal disorders. I also strive to help my adult patients manage chronic disease through diet, exercise and overall wellness strategies focused on the whole person. I live in Northern Virginia and love being outdoors with my family, friends and Labradoodle pup.

Approach to care

My approach to nutrition care focuses on evidenced-based practices that are tailored to your individual needs. My goal is to meet you where you are and move forward from there. I want to help my clients achieve sustainable results and make changes that will hold long past our time together. I view our sessions together as a true partnership where I can support your goals and needs.

Your first session with Loredana

During our first session, I want to get to know you. We will have a chance to talk about your personal goals and nutritional concerns. I want to hear about your lifestyle, stressors and work together to understand how your current nutrition is impacting your health. We can start to develop a plan together to make positive changes!
