“This was my first appointment with this provider, Lauren Minchen. I found her to be very calming, and a great listener. She made suggestions on what I should change, and things I could leave in place for now. She clearly explained what will happen going forward. I left the appointment feeling very confident about the next steps.”

About Lauren Minchen
With more than a decade of experience as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, it’s my belief that an invincible plan – one that is authentic to you - requires personalized application of nutrition principles.
To help you accomplish this with greater ease, we begin our journey together with a comprehensive assessment. This allows us to set sustainable goals, identify your personal barriers, and create a path to success. From there, I create a focused and personalized nutrition plan for you to guide you toward your goals sustainably. With my support and expertise, my goal is for you to feel understood and empowered to achieve the lifestyle you want.
I work frequently with patients managing IBS, IBD, hypothyroidism, autoimmune conditions (Crohns, Celiac, MS, Hashimotos, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, type 1 diabetes), PCOS, cardiovascular disease, and weight loss (including while on a GLP-1).
If you don't see your insurance listed under my participation networks, contact your insurance plan to inquire about out-of-network coverage.
