Nutrition as Therapy.
One way or another, everyone needs to analyze their lifestyle habits.
If you’ve said to yourself “I know what to do, I just need to do it”, it’s time for a real method—and restricting carbs isn’t what we do here.
At LP Nutrition Consulting, we learn to eat rather than to restrict fiber, antioxidants, and other anti-inflammatory foods that exclusively come from carbohydrates.
We also learn how to reduce medications with a lifestyle strategy that fits YOU.

"As an athlete always striving to optimize performance, using a CGM was eye-opening—but it was Lauren who truly unlocked its value. She helped me interpret the data to fine-tune my nutrition around training, and the results have been incredible: more consistent energy and some of the strongest sessions I’ve ever had. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking to take their performance to the next level."
