About Susan L
I am an experienced dietitian with a broad clinical knowledge base, specializing in heart disease, diabetes, weight gain or loss, eating disorders, and renal disease. I have lived and/ or worked in OH, NJ, NY, PA, MD, DC, VA, IL, WI, FL, CA, HI, AZ, NV, and French Polynesia. I have raised 4 healthy now-adults, contributed to various local, state, and national dietetics policies and changes, and enjoy spending time with friends and family around the world. I became a dietitian in part because I want to help others, like my family, truly live life and avoid and/ or improve unnecessary or poor health consequences.
Approach to care
I believe we are all individuals and any person can improve their nutritional status and enjoy their lives while in the process of reaching their health goals. Intuitive eating has helped even my most resistant family, friends, and other clients make some pretty big changes. Mindfulness makes a difference for others. Background info and suggested substitutions make a difference for others. Together, we can craft the perfect lifelong solution for you!
Your first session with Susan L
We will start with a review of your meal intake and timing, health status, sleep habits, and food preferences and choices. We will then use that information to see what small and easy changes could improve your health and/ or help you reach your goals in a realistic time and healthy manner. Your success will be supported by me the whole way!
