Lauren Jones, RDN (she/her)
Lauren is a fat-positive, weight-inclusive dietitian with lived experience in eating disorder recovery. She recognizes that everyone’s recovery journey may look very different, and she views her role as a dietitian as a collaboration between her and the individual to find what works and feels best for them. She uses the principles of intuitive eating and Health at Every Size in her work but holds a compassionate, client-centered approach at the forefront of her nutrition counseling.
As a vegan, non-diet dietitian, she is passionate about helping other vegans separate diet culture from vegan nutrition and lives their lives without feeling restricted. She considers food and nutrition to be just one part of overall well-being and firmly believes all bodies are worthy of respect. She has experience in nutrition research, public health, long-term care, and private practice focusing on weight-inclusive, compassionate nutrition counseling. She is thrilled to join the team at Side By Side Nutrition and excited to grow as a weight-inclusive, social justice-minded dietitian in the field of eating disorder recovery. In her free time, she is listening to 90’s alternative rock, reading, doing yoga, walking in nature, and hanging out with her two cats.
