About LuAnn
I am a Registered & Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist with 30 years of experience working in the field of nutrition. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Pittsburgh & a Master of Science Degree in Human Nutrition & Functional Medicine from the University of Western States. I have experience counseling a variety of chronic conditions such as cardiometabolic, gastrointestinal, mast cell activation syndrome, & autoimmune diseases.
Approach to care
I am passionate about using a combination of conventional & functional nutrition/medicine approaches to address the root cause of nutrition related aspects of disease. I focus on meeting the patient where they are while developing a personal, trusting, & nonjudgmental connection. I perform a thorough nutritional assessment looking at the root cause of a patient's concern & make evidence based recommendations. I primarily focus on working together with patients to develop best approaches to optimal nutrition & health.
Your first session with LuAnn
I will review your medical & nutrition history, medications & supplements, lab values (if available), diet intake, & lifestyle habits. I will work with you to address your primary concerns & develop appropriate ways to achieve a more balanced approach to diet & lifestyle.
