Laura Rhead, RD
Background
Hi, I’m Laura! A foodie, exercise enthusiast, and adventure-seeker. I’m also a Registered Dietitian with 14+ years of experience in helping people take control of their health.
My passion for nutrition started with my own health struggles. After battling IBS and navigating gluten-free and low-FODMAP diets, I experienced firsthand how food can impact overall well-being. This fueled my desire to help others feel their best and improve their quality of life through simple, sustainable changes.
Are you ready to feel your best? Together, we’ll create a personalized, realistic plan that fits your lifestyle—focusing on nutrition, movement, sleep, and overall well-being. I take an evidence-based approach to help you cut through nutrition confusion and build lasting habits.
With degrees from the University of Pittsburgh and Drexel University, I’m also trained in Intuitive Eating. As a plant-based eater and endurance athlete who has tackled Ironman races, I understand the power of nutrition in fueling performance and everyday life.
I specialize in diabetes, weight management, IBS, sports nutrition, picky eaters, cardiovascular health, and more. My mission is to simplify nutrition and help you thrive—one step at a time!
