LICENSED REGISTERED DIETITIAN and Eating disorder specialist
I know firsthand how deeply gastrointestinal issues and disordered eating can affect your daily life and transform your relationship with food. As a dietitian specializing in these interconnected challenges, I've guided many people through the frustrating maze of symptoms and emotional hurdles they create. In my practice, you'll find a welcoming space where you can speak openly about your struggles, without fear of judgment. Together, we'll develop practical strategies to manage your symptoms while rebuilding a peaceful, sustainable relationship with food and eating.
NUTRITION COUNSELING services
let's work together to personalize your diet
Ever feel overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice? One expert claims carbohydrates are the enemy, while another swears they're essential for energy. It's enough to make anyone's head spin! As a licensed Registered Dietitian (RD), I cut through the confusion to help you discover what truly works for your body. I specialize in two areas that often require careful, personalized attention: eating disorder (ED) recovery and complex gastrointestinal conditions. Whether you're navigating the journey of ED recovery or struggling with digestive challenges like IBD, IBS, SIBO, chronic bloating, or irregular motility – I bring both expertise and compassion to your unique situation. My approach combines evidence-based nutrition science with a deep understanding of how these conditions affect your daily life, helping you find practical solutions that actually work.

WHAT TO EXPECT
DISCOVERY CALL
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to make sure we're a good match to work together. This phone call gives us the chance to see if my counseling services align with your goals and what you hope to get out of nutrition counseling. I’ll be straightforward with you if I don’t think we’ll be a good match and offer referrals for mental health providers that may be a better fit for you.
INTIAL CONSULTATION
If we both agree we are a good fit to work together, we will schedule a 60-minute initial consultation. This session starts with a thorough assessment of past medical history, symptoms, and diet history. We will also go over any health concerns or goals you might have.
FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENTS
I will recommend follow up sessions based off what your particular needs are. There is no requirement to book a follow-up but I do recommend at least one 2 weeks after the initial consultation.
Between appointments, email support is also offered for any small concerns.
"Lydia has a great ability to break things down simply, making nutrition and overall wellness accessible and practical no matter what your circumstances are."
"My experience working with Lydia was incredibly refreshing amidst the information overload in the wellness space these days. Working with her is like speaking with an exceptionally informed and approachable friend. In our few sessions together, she helped me unravel some unproductive thoughts I have held about nutrition, and also helped me develop some attainable and healthy daily habits. All of this was without judgement and without recommending any extreme, expensive, or impractical suggestions. Lydia has a great ability to break things down simply, making nutrition and overall wellness accessible and practical no matter what your circumstances are."

"you're the first educator to make me feel at ease about being aware of what I'm eating and being interested in nutrition, but to profoundly relax around it."
“I’ve had a long history of disordered eating having come up in private school LA culture, despite having good intentions throughout simply to have ultimate health and wellness, and you're the first educator to make me feel at ease about being aware of what I'm eating and being interested in nutrition, but to profoundly relax around it. When you said you realized that all food is really the same, made up of the same components, that was a huge perspective shift for me. Anyways, thank you for your perspective.”
