About ME

My Background:

I have a Bachelor's degree in Communications from UMASS Amherst, a Master's degree in Business from Boston University and a Master's degree in Food and Nutrition from Framingham State University.  I am a licensed and credentialed Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and a member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Prior to becoming a dietitian, I worked at Whitsons Culinary Group and completed my dietetic internship at Hebrew SeniorLife in Roslindale, MA.

I currently work at the Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital as the dietitian in their Cardiac Rehab Unit and as an outpatient dietitian in their Nutrition Clinic in Boston, MA.

When I'm not working, I enjoy cooking for my family and friends, playing tennis or pickleball and walking my dog. 

My Practice:

At Lauren Abeles Nutrition, I provide personalized sessions that are structured to your specific needs. I work with patients of all ages, providing nutrition education on the components of a nutritious and balanced diet, and why this is important for blood sugar management and overall metabolic health. 

My areas of specialty are:

• Type 2 diabetes and blood sugar regulation
• Cardiometabolic health (hypertension, dislipidemia, metabolic syndrome)
• Weight management (with a HAES and intuitive eating approach)
• Obesity (teaching lifestyle changes that go along with weight loss medications)
• Digestive disorders (IBS, GERD, food sensitivities, gut health)
• Mindful eating 
• Functional nutrition
• Sports nutrition

Clients receive clear, actionable recommendations with follow-up support as needed. 

Sessions are available in-person at my office in Needham, MA or via telehealth. I accept most insurance plans and private pay. Contact me at 617-564-1115 or via email at lauren@laurenabelesnutrition.com to set up an appointment.
