About Lydia

Hello! My name is Lydia Macfarlan and I am a registered dietitian in Arkansas. I love working with clients and helping them reach their goals-- no matter what they are! I have worked in a variety of hospital settings such as behavioral health, long-term care, rehab, etc. I also have experience working with personal clients one-on-one to help them achieve their goals. I have experience in diabetes education, heart-healthy diets, weight loss and weight gain, general health, and more! As a type 1 diabetic myself, I am very comfortable in helping to educate others with diabetes and am passionate about helping them live their best lives.

Approach to care

I will work with you to set S.M.A.R.T. (smart, realistic, attainable, realistic, timely), goals at every session that make sense for you and your lifestyle. I do not believe in "easy" fixes overnight, but rather in helping you with the tools you need for lifelong success.

Your first session with Lydia

At your first lesson with me, I like to get to know you! I think it is so important to really understand each client and their individual needs. I will ask questions to better understand your goals and struggles. I will also have you walk me through a typical day of eating. I will answer any questions you have, and together, we will make a realistic plan to move forward in a way that works for you.
