Laura Russell

About Laura

I am a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. I have 18 years of experience with nutrition and diabetes, including pre-diabetes, type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes. I also specialize in women's health, cardiovascular health, and weight loss medications. I am well versed in technology related to diabetes including continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pump therapy.

Approach to care

I am personable and flexible, working with clients where they are at in their health journey in a safe and non-judgmental environment. I love to learn each person's story and hear what they are looking for before offering any advice or ideas. My goal is to empower each client with the tools they need to meet their health goals.

Your first session with Laura

I will take time to learn about your medical history, food preferences, health and nutrition goals, and expectations for nutrition counseling. Listening to you and your story will help guide our interactions. We will develop a plan together that works for you and your lifestyle and goals.
