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 client feels overwhelmed or stuck when it comes to food, even if they “know” what they should be doing. They may be navigating disordered eating patterns, emotional eating, medical nutrition needs, or simply struggling with consistency due to a busy life, stress, ADHD, anxiety, or depression. They want to feel more confident in their choices, improve their relationship with food, and build sustainable habits that support both their physical and mental health.

Eating is complex and personal. Eating can be joyful and nourishing or filled with conflict and pain from past experiences, sometimes passed down through generations. Aside from our individual and family history, our culture and often the world of health care can be harsh and stigmatizing about matters of size and shape and lead people to be in a constant battle with their bodies. Further, the world of nutrition and healthy eating advice can be full of contradiction, misinformation, and rigidity. Finally, any sort of physical issue or illness affected by eating behavior and food choices make it hard to know how to eat to be well.

I LOVE helping people live healthier. My style is highly comprehensive - looking at the many pieces that make up our nutritional health. I am skillful at helping people reach a healthier weight (especially those who have attempted other ways unsuccessfully). I am also passionate about topics like brain health, good mood foods, preteen/teen nutrition, ADHD/ADD, confidence and self- esteem, nutrient deficiencies, eating best for your DNA, food sensitivity and anti-inflammation recommendations (Leap MRT testing). I also have a significant clinical background so eating for healthy aging and disease prevention is also in my wheelhouse.

My ideal patients have a chronic condition that hasn't resolved through conventional care. Tested, treated, told everything is normal — yet still suffering. They want the root cause addressed, not symptoms managed indefinitely.
Most arrive with chronic pain, IBS, digestive issues, anxiety, headaches, insomnia, or auto accident injuries. Many sense their symptoms are connected — that instinct is correct.
Steven identifies the pattern driving each condition and builds treatment around it. Patients often say it's the first time someone connected all the dots. Care moves from relief to correction to stability.
