Hi! I’m Lauren, your period dietitian. I help women in their 20s through early 40s regulate their periods, ease frustrating PMS, and boost their energy and fertility, so they can feel more like themselves again. My clients are tired of extreme dieting, being told their labs are “normal” when they feel like trash, and that birth control is their only option to regulate hormones and manage symptoms until they want to get pregnant. I get it, which is why we do things a bit different around here.

Holistic approach. Food First. Science Based. Using a holistic approach, I assess your diet, symptoms, history, tests to understand what your best next steps would be. We'll work on diet & lifestyle, supplements to fill in gaps, and discuss testing if that is something you want to explore. Imagine what it would be like to be free of your symptoms. Have more energy, mental clarity, normal bowel movements and feel good in your own body. Everyone is different. I use food as nourishment, cell signaling, and healing to get you back to being healthy. I don't have one set protocol for everyone. I offer personalized nutrition guidance.
