About the Author

A dietitian, freelance writer, and plant-based lifestyle expert, Lauren is on a mission to normalize plant-based eating and simplify what it means to create a healthy, active, and purposeful life.


She obtained her Bachelor of Science in Food Science & Human Nutrition from Colorado State University and her Master of Public Health degree from Michigan State University. She completed her dietetic internship at Michigan Medicine in Ann Arbor and has been a Registered Dietitian since 2010.


Lauren has a background ranging from personalized nutrition to broader public and environmental health. As a new dietitian, she worked in the clinical setting providing medical nutrition therapy and then transitioned to outpatient eating disorder counseling.
