“First step to a healthier self:” Local dietitian finds purpose with nutrition counseling
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a local dietitian transformed her own struggles with food and started her own business to help others in similar situations.
Logan Smith found a passion for helping clients find healthier, non-restrictive diets at her company, LS Nutrition, which she started in June 2020.
“I struggled with my relationship with food for years and struggled with creating actual health promoting behavior change,” Smith said. “It’s been awesome helping guide clients towards a healthier lifestyle surrounding food and movement while reaching wellness goals, whether it’s lowering their cholesterol or working on a healthier relationship with food throughout eating disorder recovery.”
LS Nutrition is an all-virtual private practice which Smith said gives clients the ease of nutrition counseling from the comfort of their home.
“I’m very passionate about my work and really enjoy what I do,” Smith said. “I work really hard to create a safe and welcoming space for my clients. Nutrition counseling is often the first step to a healthier self, but I do have contacts with Dr. Marzano at Advanced Cousneling for clients who would also benefit from mental health services.”
“I want to ensure my clients are getting the best help and guidance possible,” she added.
Smith wants clients to know constantly worrying about what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat isn’t how it’s meant to be.
“We specialize in overall wellness for people sick of dieting,” she said. “My business benefits the community by creating a healthier community. We work on creating sustainable changes that are individualized to each client.”
Smith’s team of registered dietitians specialize in general wellness, disordered eating and eating disorders.
LS Nutrition accepts insurance in the forms of Cigna, Anthem, BCBS, United Health Care and Aetna.
