Laura Ridolfi

Laura has always been interested in food, nutrition, and how food can impact the body. The moment she realized this was her career choice was when studying for an economics exam and she was more interested in researching the nutrition claims on her vitamins than studying economic principles. After completing her education at Miami University in Ohio, she completed a combined Master's Degree and Dietetic Internship Program at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, IL. From there she has worked in multiple clinical and outpatient settings with experience in heart health, stroke prevention, weight management, diabetic nutrition, disordered eating, chronic illness nutrition, and malnutrition. As a stay-at-home mom to a picky eater, Laura has also gained more hands-on experience with pediatric nutrition and picky eating.

Laura understands that our relationship with food and body is complex and everyone's health journey looks a little different. She knows we all have different food preferences, cooking abilities, budgets, time constraints, motivation, medical diagnoses, schedules, and nutrition histories. Using a personalized approach, Laura will take these factors into consideration when working together to develop goals for healthy lifestyle changes. Laura knows nutrition can play a big role in chronic illness prevention and promoting health. She wants to help empower you with the knowledge to make healthy changes to improve your health.

As someone who grew up in diet culture and experienced years of dieting and body dissatisfaction, Laura believes in breaking the cycle of dieting and creating a healthier relationship with food. Laura is passionate about sharing the wisdom of Intuitive Eating and encouraging us all to have a better relationship with food and our bodies.
