Lydia Nickens

About Lydia

My own health journey began in college when I came to realize the role nutrition played in our physical and mental well-being. During a particularly stressful time, I struggled with a slew of gastrointestinal, hormonal, and physical symptoms which, with the help of medical professionals, were all resolved by a change to my diet. Since then, I have become passionate about helping people overcome their health challenges by exploring the relationship between what we eat and our overall well-being. From personal experience and from working with complex patients in the hospital setting, I know just how difficult it may be at first to change how we eat, but also how impactful it can be to every aspect of health. I am committed to supporting and guiding you to overcome the nutritional roadblocks in your life to achieve your personal health goals.

Approach to care

My focus will be on what your personal health goals are and how to achieve them in a realistic, sustainable way. There will be no short-cuts here; hard-work may be required, but through progressive habit formation, we can create lasting health changes together. I feel confident that with the right tools and knowledge, anyone can improve their nutrition and overall well-being.

Your first session with Lydia

Our first session together will start with a comprehensive assessment in a nonjudgmental environment. We will discuss your goals, current health habits, food preferences, and more. During each session, we will collaborate together on how to progress to where you are now on your health journey and where you want to be.
