I work with adults who want to improve their health through nutrition but feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice or unsure where to start. Many are managing prediabetes, Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or digestive concerns. Others simply want more energy, better metabolic health, and healthy aging. Together, we'll identify what's holding you back, create a personalized nutrition plan that fits your lifestyle, and build sustainable habits that help you reach your goals with confidence.

I use a combination of custom herbal formulations, diet, stress modification, exercise, acupuncture and specific supplementation. With these tools, I create a Personalized Wellness Plan at each visit that will work into your unique life.

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.

My ideal clients are endurance athletes and active people who feel stuck, either they're not performing the way they want to, or their relationship with food has become exhausting and all-consuming. Many come to me underfueling without realizing it, caught in cycles of restriction, guilt, or rigid food rules that are holding them back in sport and in life. I help clients rebuild trust with food through a non-diet, eating disorder-informed approach — one that honors both their athletic goals and their overall wellbeing. Together, we work toward fueling that feels sustainable, freeing, and genuinely nourishing.

I have a wide field of interests from children to athletes to women’s health issues and/or anyone looking to improve their health naturally.

I am Board Certified in Integrative and functional Medicine. That means that I work with clients to find the root causes of their symptoms in a holistic way. We are learning that maintaining our gut health is the root of treating many diseases including autoimmune, inflammatory, skin, obesity, cancer, allergies, and more. I work with clients to figure out why they are struggling with a condition and treat it using food as medicine, identifying food sensitivities, providing nutrients to maximize the body's functioning, and if needed, I do cooking sessions to teach how to make healthy food taste great.
