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.

Before becoming a dietitian, I gained experience at Whitsons Culinary Group and completed my dietetic internship at Hebrew SeniorLife in Roslindale, MA.

Currently, I work at 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.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking for my family and friends, playing tennis or pickleball, and walking my dog.

My Practice:

At Lauren Abeles Nutrition, I offer personalized nutrition sessions tailored to meet your specific needs. I work with patients of all ages, providing nutrition education focused on blood sugar management, balanced diets, and the significance of these elements for overall metabolic health and cardiometabolic health.

My areas of specialty include:

- Type 2 diabetes and blood sugar regulation

- Cardiometabolic health (hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome)

- Weight management (using a HAES and intuitive eating approach)

- Obesity (focusing on lifestyle changes accompanying weight loss medications)

- Digestive disorders (IBS, GERD, food sensitivities, gut health)

- Mindful eating

- Functional nutrition

- Sports nutrition

Clients receive clear, actionable recommendations, along 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 as well as private pay. Contact me at 617-564-1115 or via email at lauren@laurenabelesnutrition.com to schedule an appointment.
