Lauren Trocchio, RD

Welcome! My name is Lauren, and I am a registered dietitian with 14 years of experience specializing in weight management, sports nutrition, and functional gastrointestinal disorders.

​

I know nutrition is important for health and performance, and I also know there is no "perfect diet" or a one-size-fits all approach. I've worked in several settings where a team approach was used to treat patients or work with athletes - affording me the opportunity to think holistically when working with people. When I work with you, I take the time to understand your life in order to come up with a practical plan together.

​

I've worked with athletes of all types - youth, adult recreational and elite, collegiate, and pro. I specialize in REDs (relative energy deficiency in sport) and functional gastrointestinal conditions.

​

​I've worked with individuals wanting to lose over 100 lbs; individuals wanting to just move with less pain; and individuals not wanting to lose any weight but have a better relationship with food. With my clinical and research background, I have extensive experience working with individuals taking older and newer obesity medications, including GLP-1 receptor agonists.

​

​Regardless of who you are, I'm here to help.

​

My educational path to becoming an RD was not straight! I have a BS degree from the US Coast Guard Academy in Operations Research. After departing active duty, I completed a BS degree in Dietetics from Eastern Michigan University. I then acquired two specialty degrees: a postgraduate diploma in sports nutrition from the International Olympic Committee and an MSc in Obesity and Weight Management from the University of South Wales. I'm currently a PhD candidate in Health and Human Performance at Concordia University Chicago. I maintain two board specialty credentials: one in sports dietetics and one in obesity and weight management.

​

In my spare time, I love to stay active, bake bread, sew clothes, and spend time with my husband and cats.
