Frequently asked questions
I'm active, but don't consider myself an athlete - would I be a good fit for nutrition therapy and coaching?
YES! I define an athlete as someone who sweats on purpose and moves their body regularly. Some athletes are actively competing and others participate recreational. I'm qualified to support athletes of all levels. I want to empower active folks to embrace the identity of an athlete and understand that a positive relationship with food and body underscores their active lifestyle.
Who else is a good fit for nutrition therapy and coaching?
Someone who is:
Struggling with their relationship to food, body, and/or exercise
Training for a race and needs nutrition support
Chronically feeling tired and fatigued during and/or outside of activity
Looking for guidance on meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking
Recovering from an eating disorder
Seeking a weight-neutral approach to support their active lifestyle
What does it mean to take a weight-neutral approach?
A weight-neutral approach means that our work together (whether nutrition, yoga, or both!) will focus on health and well-being vs. focusing on weight and body size. This doesn't mean we can't talk about your concerns, however the recommendations I make will be to align your eating and exercise patterns with your needs. We then trust your body to settle at a healthy weight for you.
What is an intuitive athlete?
The way I see it, an Intuitive Athlete is anyone who lives an active lifestyle - maybe they have goals/objectives, maybe not - and takes an intuitive approach to training, nutrition, and self-care. They combined evidenced based recommendations with the wisdom of their body and lived experience.

Testimonials
"This course was an excellent introduction to the principles of intuitive eating. Lo really ties together the practice of IE & yoga in a very organized way - It made a lot of sense. It was a warm, open, inviting, safe environment of learning & self reflection. Highly recommend for anyone who is interested in embarking on a new journey with food & themselves."
-Integrating Intuitive Eating & Mindfulness Student
"I'm a former dancer turned yogi and as an adult, I became an endurance runner. I have also struggled with bulimia since I was a teenager. Over the last 25 years, I've seen several eating disorder therapists and nutritionists, but it wasn't until two years ago when I started working with Lauren that the work stuck. Her approach was different from any other specialist I had worked with previously. She is extremely empathetic but gives you practical tools to make meaningful changes without the BS. She taught me to eat to support my training needs and hit my performance goals in my races. Most importantly, she helped free me from the very real anxiety I felt around [certain foods]. Thanks to Lauren, I am able to keep [any food] in the house without stress. Feeling in control of my eating and being able to enjoy food without guilt has been life changing. "
-Mira, Nutrition Therapy Client
"I love the "Yintuitive Eating Yoga" class! Lo is an amazing teacher and I feel that this class has helped me a lot. I highly recommend it. I feel wonderful for days after the class."
-Julia, Yintuitive Eating Yoga Student
"Your classes have been super helpful to me. You make the whole "connecting with your body" thing feel accessible and fun, which is hard to find! TL;DR: you are awesome, thanks for doing what you do"
-Allison, Yinyasa Student
Hi! I'm Lauren!
You may also know me as Lo.
As a former D1 collegiate athlete, I had a lot to learn when it came to listening to my body & intuition rather than looking outside myself for answers. While working as a sports dietitian at the collegiate levels, this desire to learn how to connect with my body led me to dive deeper into my yoga practice & intuitive eating. Somewhat unexpectedly, I became a yoga instructor - first to simply deepen my own knowledge, but then to share this new approach with others. Through the fusion of my disciplines, I collaborate with my clients & empower them to turn inward & listen to their intuition for guidance rather than prescribing a one-size-fits all plan.
I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist specializing in performance nutrition with over 10 years of experience. I hold a bachelor's degree in Nutrition & Dietetics & a Master's degree in Sports Nutrition. I'm a 200 hr Registered Yoga Instructor & have been teaching since 2017. As the former Executive Director of Sports Nutrition for the University of Utah, I enjoy working with active individuals, those transitioning out of sport, &/or those seeking a better relationship with food, body, & exercise.
A former Michigander, I now call Salt Lake City home. When I'm not on my yoga mat, I love exploring the mountains via human-powered activities with my family & friends.
