About Janet Lau
My personal journey began without food rules and with a learned habit of using food for comfort. After feeling unwell for much of my younger life and finding that conventional approaches were often temporary or even counterproductive, I turned to educational and integrative health teachings in search of lasting solutions. Now, with over 20 years of experience as an Integrative Registered Dietitian, Holistic Coach, and LEAP Therapist, I’ve found that using “food as medicine,” combined with holistic practices, remains one of the most effective tools for achieving meaningful, long-term health transformation.
About My Practice:
I founded Nutrition Custom Care to make nutrition simple, personalized, and supportive. We combine medical nutrition therapy with holistic approaches to address the root causes of chronic illness and related symptoms. Our care plans evolve with your progress, adapting at every step to support sustainable change and a healthier relationship with food. Every session is built on empathy, collaboration, and trust. Because food is deeply personal and healing isn’t always linear, we meet you where you are and walk with you through the process.
What to Expect:
Before your first appointment, you’ll complete brief intake forms through our secure, HIPAA-compliant portal. A credit card is required to confirm your spot. Optional discovery calls are also available after booking. Learn more at: services.nutritioncustomcare.com

Janet is a true professional. She provided invaluable guidance on my issues, identifying things I wasn't aware of. I especially appreciated how she broke down everything into clear, actionable steps, making it easy to understand what I needed to focus on.

I’m so grateful for the guidance and support I received! My dietitian made everything feel approachable and realistic—not overwhelming.

Janet was wonderful to work with! She really listened to all my questions and issues and was helpful in guidance for an anti-inflammatory diet and general practices for a healthy metabolism and diet with a chronic condition. I didn't feel rushed at all and she provided helpful supplemental documents and readings. She is very warm and I would recommend her to anyone seeking to work with a dietician.

The initial consult was great and I look forward to continuing to work with Janet. Didn't feel judged or rushed, simply educated and it was great.
April 12, 2025Denise Claire C.Verified patientVideo visit
Very professional and personable. Contact me right after scheduling a session. Making sure If I had any questions before continuing the session as well as letting me what I need to do to fill out certain documents which was easy to do. Gave me great advice as well as answering any questions I have. Great experience.
January 8, 2025Robert V.Verified patientVideo visit
I loved Janet! She was so kind and made sure that I understood everything. She was thorough with her intake questions and in her explanations of my plan. She didn’t talk about what I couldn’t do, but instead set soft boundaries of what I should be doing. Nothing in my plan was a rigid “do” or “don’t”. I liked how she talked about “gentle digestion” and “gentle movement”. I appreciated that she gave tips on how to slowly work toward my goals instead of going hard at them. Another great thing about her is that she did everything to make sure my appointments would be covered by insurance. She left nothing uncovered and was very honest when she wasn’t sure about something. 10/10 would recommend.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Lau. She was patient did not brush me at all. She listened to me with genuine concern ?and tailored a nutrition plan to meet all of my needs. She helped me set goals that were within my reach and reviewed my bloodwork thoroughly and explains anything that I did not understand. She answered all of my questions and encouraged me that I would be able to get my health back in track as we built a great support system ?with steps to take for success. I can’t wait to see the results in my next appointment! She is so personable and caring!

Janet Lau has not only been a major influence in my health and well being for many years but she continues to provide support toward my desire of living a healthy lifestyle. After sharing news of needing surgery, Janet Lau went above and beyond to ascertain the physician that best suited my ideals. She advised on a meal plan/diet that accommodated my active way of living due to a trend of uncomfortable physiological symptoms.
Janet Lau took her expertise and applied it to my son’s dietary habits after I explained his reaction to certain foods. Her recommendations and counsel has truly made an impact in my relationship with food. There is a freedom of making healthy life choices through food that I now seek with more understanding and knowledge. This notion translates into my ability to function on a daily basis at an optimal level thanks to my dietitian, Janet Lau.

Janet helped me understand why I wasn't losing weight and my poor health, in a way that I can understand.
Her process was clear and geared toward my real life. So I can go to my local grocery store and make better choices for my health and weight loss.

I really like Janet's calm and caring demeanor, combined with her patience and genuine interest in having a holistic understanding of my wants/needs/and honestly evaluating whether or not she felt her services & approach would be a good fit for me. I felt very comfortable with her right off the bat and am looking forward to our continued sessions!

My experience with Janet Lau so far has been excellent! Janet is a great listener and sends me follow up notes, tips and informative website links on what we discuss in our sessions. I tend to overwhelm myself by trying to focus on too much change in my diet/fitness at once, and quickly give up. Janet helps me focus on a couple of changes at a time, as well as mental cues and replacements for my main hangups. I highly recommend her for her methods and her friendly nature.

Very professional and detail oriented. Provided some very solid advice and direction for my weight loss. Definitely a pleasure to have been seen by her.
September 23, 2018Albie E.Verified patient
Janet Lau was very nice and friendly.
She followed her "diagnostic" form like any other nutritionist in order to get my medical and diet history.
However, I was under the impression that she is following her own diet strategy without taking into consideration my own restrictions and feedbacks.
I don't eat dairy and grains but she insisted that I should have whole grains and that I was probably intolerant to processed grains only.
In the end, I chose not to work with her on my needs.

My appointment with Janet Lau was informative and productive. She took the time to thoroughly understand my concerns and challenges. She even explained previous medical results. I left my visit with a plan to achieve healthier eating.

My visit was very enlightening. Ms. Lau spoke to me in a kind manner and educated me on my daily diet and its affects on my welfare. Our discussion lead to understand on how to get the best results out of the food that is available in my areas supermarket. She helped me make better choices to loose weight and function better in my daily life.
