LICENSED REGISTERED DIETITIAN SPECIALIZING IN EVIDENCE- BASED NUTRITION
As a dietitian specializing in gastrointestinal issues and disordered eating, I understand the complexities of symptoms related to both and the impact it can have on an individual's relationship with food. And through nutrition counseling, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to address their concerns, manage their symptoms, and develop a better relationship with food.
NUTRITION COUNSELING services
let's work together to personalize your diet
Nutrition information can be confusing! One source says not to eat carbohydrates and another says that carbohydrates are the best source of energy. That's where I come in. As a licensed Registered Dietitian (RD), I have the tools to help you make sense of this information. Together, we can personalize your diet to fit your needs. My speciality is in eating disorder (ED) treatment and functional gastrointestinal disorders, so if you're recovering or wanting to recover from an ED or are dealing with bloating, diarrhea, constipation, celiac disease, SIBO, or other GI issues, I'm the dietitian for you.

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.”
