About Lydia
If you're ready to nourish your body and take charge of your health, I'd love to partner with you! I have been registered dietitian for over 4 years and am passionate about the areas of weight management, women's health (pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, menopause, and more!), and plant-based and flexitarian eating patterns. My services include preventative nutrition counseling & Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) for chronic diseases.
Approach to care
My approach centers on food-as-medicine, using the power of nutrition to support your body's unique needs. Recommendations will always be science-backed & personalized to empower you to thrive and feel your best. For my weight management clients, I take a weight-neutral approach and help you move beyond the scale as the only measure of success.
Your first session with Lydia
In our sessions, you'll gain a clearer understanding of your metabolism and how to apply personalized, realistic nutrition interventions that fit your lifestyle. I will truly take the time to get to know you and your lifestyle, so that we can craft an effective plan to reach your goals. You deserve to have a provider that is on your team and will go the extra mile to ensure you succeed--I hope to hear from you soon!
