Background

About Lynnett Lua

My journey in becoming a registered dietitian (RD) started my senior year of high school, during my anatomy class, while watching a documentary called “Dying to be Thin.” This was the first time I heard about this career and became aware of the role a RD plays for individuals with eating disorders and the recovery process. From the second I left class, I became fascinated with the world of nutrition and learning about the effect’s nutrition has on health and medical conditions. Since then, my journey in becoming an RD has consisted of earning my Bachelor's in Science, with an emphasis in dietetics, with a minor in Plant Based diets. I also have experience working as nutrition assistant in a clinical setting where I am responsible for helping patients with menu selection according to the diet ordered by a physician.
