Health Professionals in Minnesota
My ideal clients are adult women and teenage athletes who sense something is off — their skin, energy, hormones, or performance isn't where it should be. Many are also thinking longer term, about longevity and healthspan, and how the choices they make now shape how they feel and function for decades to come. They're ready to look deeper, and I help them do that through a functional, integrative approach that gets specific to them — not a generic plan, but a real strategy built around their whole picture.

Struggling through years of restrictive dieting and self-doubt, I know firsthand how exhausting the weight loss cycle can be. The frustration of doing “everything right” yet feeling stuck led me to question not just my habits—but the entire approach to nutrition.
That experience shaped my path as a dietitian. Today, I combine evidence-based nutrition science with a deep understanding of the emotional and behavioral patterns that influence how we eat. I believe lasting change doesn’t come from rigid rules or short-term fixes, but from building a sustainable, balanced relationship with food.

Healing often requires exploring beyond conventional methods, which is where functional and integrative nutrition comes in. Due to my own health challenges, I was compelled to seek a new approach to healing. What I’ve learned through nutrition has made me passionate about helping others who face struggles like disordered eating, inflammation, and gut dysfunction. I’m dedicated to sharing my knowledge and experiences, and I continue to learn so that others may heal and rediscover balance in their lives.

As a registered dietitian, my goal is to help my clients develop a healthy and peaceful relationship with food. Whether it’s how food was talked about in your family growing up, messages from social media or feedback and advice from well-intentioned friends, there is likely an overwhelming amount of nutrition information available to you. How do you know what’s right, factual or most appropriate for you? My goal is to help un-complicate this information with an anti-diet and individualized approach to help you address your nutrition related concerns and make eating easier.

I work with individuals and families who have experienced loss of health and wellness due to a misalignment of the upper vertebra in the neck, called the atlas. This can occur from an accident or injury, or just develop over time. When the atlas is misaligned, numerous symptoms may be signaling a problem such as migraines, low back pain, fibromyalgia, digestive issues, high blood pressure, tinnitus, TMJ, vertigo, insomnia, depression, infertility, neck and shoulder pain, hip pain and short leg. I am a practicing member of the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA).

Common problems I can help: neck and back pains, headaches, carpal tunnel, sciatica, arthritis, digestive problems, infections, high cholesterol, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and others. I offer highly skilled adjustments of the spine, arms and leg joints to relieve pain and discomfort. I also focus on the muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascial imbalances that tend to recreate the pain cycle. By utilizing muscle testing methods I am able to pin point the area of imbalance and correct it with the necessary procedure.

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.
