Background
My name is Laurie, MS, RDN. I have been a practicing dietitian for about 10 years. I am passionate about weight management and the disease states that often corollate such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. I believe there is no "one size fits all" approach and each individual needs realistic goals according to their lifestyle. I love engaging in conversation and getting to know people on a deeper level, because this is how change is made. I have worked very closely with expert providers in managing weight loss while taking GLP-1 medications in order to minimize side effects, set realistic weight loss goals, and ensure vitamin/mineral needs are being met, all while avoiding excessive loss of muscle mass. I also enjoy working with individuals who decide a weight loss medication is not a good fit for them or is not covered under insurance to achieve realistic weight loss goals. In my free time I spend my time as a mom of two young kids and love teaching them how to navigate in the kitchen while developing a healthy relationship with food.
