Functional nutrition support to restore your periods, ease PMS, and optimize fertility naturally
Hi! I’m Lauren, your period dietitian. I help women in their 20s through early 40s regulate their periods, ease frustrating PMS, and boost their energy and fertility, so they can feel more like themselves again.
My clients are tired of extreme dieting, being told their labs are “normal” when they feel like trash, and that birth control is their only option to regulate hormones and manage symptoms until they want to get pregnant.
I work with women experiencing:
irregular, missing, or unpredictable periods
post-birth control amenorrhea (period isn’t coming back after stopping BC)
PCOS, or suspected PCOS
PMS that is disruptive or hard to manage, such as painful cramps, acne, bloating, fatigue, mood swings, cravings, breast tenderness, headaches/migraines, etc.
a desire to optimize fertility to prepare for a future pregnancy
infertility
cravings or feeling disconnected from hunger and fullness cues
hormone-related symptoms like acne or hair loss
PMDD
endometriosis, or suspected endometriosis
bloating, gas, constipation, heartburn, and other gut symptoms

This is the foundation of our work together. Many women come in experiencing irregular cycles, fatigue, bloating, acne, hair loss and cravings, while also feeling frustrated, dismissed, and unsure who to trust. This step helps us stop guessing by focusing on understanding your unique physiology through targeted lab work. By restoring key nutrients and improving metabolic health, we support consistent ovulation, which is essential for more regular, predictable cycles, reducing PMS symptoms, and getting pregnant. Using an optimal-range lens, we create a personalized nutrition, movement, sleep, and supplement plan informed by labs such as basic bloodwork, DUTCH (dried urine hormone test), GI MAP stool test, and hair tissue mineral analysis, helping you build clarity, confidence, and momentum from the start.

It’s time you learn how to eat in a way that actually supports your body. Many women come in skipping meals, cycling through restrictive diets, dealing with cravings and energy crashes after eating, and feeling overwhelmed by meal planning or disconnected from cooking. This is often paired with fear around certain foods, confusion about the “right” diet, and a lack of trust in what foods feel best for their body. This step focuses on teaching you how to build balanced, blood sugar–supportive meals using whole foods to reduce inflammation and support egg and gut health, without restriction or perfection. Together, we create a sustainable meal planning system that fits your lifestyle so eating feels more organized, enjoyable, and intuitive, leading to steadier energy, fewer cravings, more stable moods, and confidence in what and how you eat.

It’s time to learn how to recognize patterns, interpret internal cues, and trust what your body is communicating. Many women come in with unpredictable cycles, ongoing cravings, mindless or reactive eating, and limited access to appropriate lab testing. This leads to some yucky feelings of being disconnected from their body, confused about hormones, and feeling out of control with food. This step focuses on building deeper awareness of menstrual cycle patterns, hunger and fullness cues, and symptom signals so you can better understand what’s driving cravings, mood shifts, and cycle changes. By building awareness with your body’s signals, you can develop lasting confidence, trust, and consistency, creating space for mindful eating, reduced cravings, and long-term cycle success without fear or confusion.
