About Taylor Lucas

“Food is often how we connect with our traditions, cultures, families, and even identities. That connection should be respected and honored.” Taylor Lucas has been a valuable member of the dietitian team at Erica Leon Nutrition since completing her Master's in Nutritional Science at City University of New York, Hunter College. Taylor shares how she intends to use her passion for nutrition and community to make an impact as a registered dietitian. She loves to share her passion for plant-centered, culturally competent nutrition therapy, particularly within the African American and Latinx communities. Taylor believes that even the smallest decisions can play a major role in preventing and managing chronic disease. Taylor became passionate about nutrition after making changes to her eating habits and feeling significantly better about her health, body, and overall wellness journey. This experience empowered her to help underserved minority populations gain access to vital nutritional knowledge and improve food access to aid in preventing many chronic illnesses common in these communities. Dietitians can make a difference in public health, private practice, community outreach, specialized treatment, and more. Taylor loves learning about the impact a registered dietitian can have on the lives of patients and clients, firmly believing that incorporating cultural competence and sensitivity is vital for effective nutrition therapy.
