Lauren Shea, RD

Hi! I’m Lauren, a registered dietitian of 9 years. I’m a Delaware-native currently living in Georgia with my husband, 3 month old son, and German Shepherd. When I’m not talking about food, I’m scoping out local coffee shops, taste-testing pastries, and perusing outdoor farmers markets to fill my cup. 

​

As a self-proclaimed “foodie”, the unique ability to fuse my love of food and passion for wellness as a registered dietitian made selecting a career path a no-brainer. I have worked in a number of settings- acute care, long term acute care, intensive care, food service management, bariatrics, mental health, and fitness. As such, I have experience with a variety of medical needs- diabetes, heart disease, cancer, wound care, IBS, weight loss, dysphagia, tube feeding, and malnutrition to name a few. 

​

Let’s be real, the media can be LOUD. As a new mom, the thought of what to make for dinner (and breakfast and lunch!) became daunting. We are inundated with decisions on what and when to eat, how to cook, and where to shop, leading to decision fatigue and second-guessing our innate ability to know what’s best for our own bodies. Knowing what foods make you feel best and support your lifestyle goals is important to achieving the quality of life you deserve! There is no such thing as a ‘one size fits all’ approach to nutrition, and I’m excited to collaborate with you to discover the endless possibilities. 

​

I believe in whole foods and saving room for dessert. I believe in intuitive eating and that all foods fit. I believe that eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring, expensive, or time-consuming. Simply put, I believe that food is a love language. A good meal means something different to everyone, but has the power to evoke a memory, create an experience, or start a new chapter in a person’s life. Food nourishes in many ways-through taste, community, and feeling. Some view food as medicine, others view food a fuel. I’m here to help you navigate the grocery store, identify your own hunger/fullness cues, create meal plans, and everything in between. I’m confident that together we can redefine what being healthy means for you!
