My Process

Rebuilding Your Relationship With Food

  • 🧘‍♀️ We start with safety. You’ll never be rushed, judged, or pushed into a plan that doesn’t feel right.

  • 🥣 We explore your food story. Together, we unpack the beliefs, patterns, and emotions that shape your eating experience.

  • 🪞 We honor your autonomy. I’m here to guide, not dictate.

  • 🥕 We integrate nutrition. Science meets compassion in a way that supports your recovery and long-term health.

  • 🪢 We celebrate your identity. Your culture, gender, race, and lived experience are central to how we approach healing.

Nutrition with Lisa

I’m Lisa Rostek

MS, RDN, LD, IEDS

Hi, I’m Lisa — founder of Nutrition with Lisa and a registered dietitian nutritionist. I believe in blending science with compassion to help you build a balanced relationship with food, body, and health.

I grew up on a farm in rural South Dakota, where food meant community, connection, and care. I started in nursing school, detoured into a decade of massage therapy, and discovered my greatest strength was building genuine relationships. Nutrition became the natural next step — a way to integrate science, compassion, and connection into every session.

Why Work With Me

  • 🌄 Decades of healing experience — from nursing to massage therapy to nutrition, I’ve spent my career helping people reconnect with their bodies.

  • 📚 Rooted in HAES® and inclusive care — I meet you where you are, without judgment, shame, or diet culture.

  • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Relationship-centered nutrition — healing starts with connection. Every session is built on trust, not trends.

  • 🌍 An Inclusive Eating Disorder Specialist (IEDS) — trauma-informed, identity-affirming approach to support all bodies and backgrounds.

  • 🛠️ Practical, personalized support — no one-size-fits-all plans. We co-create goals that feel safe, doable, and aligned with your values.

  • 🥣 Nutrition counseling offers compassionate, individualized guidance to help adults build steadier, more sustainable patterns with food, appetite, and health without shame or rigid rules.

My Values

Trauma-Informed Care

Your nervous system matters. I approach nutrition work with an understanding of safety, pacing, and the ways stress, trauma, and lived experience shape eating patterns.

Collaboration Over Control

Nutrition support should never feel prescriptive or top-down. We make decisions together, honoring your autonomy and your real life.

Real-Life Sustainability

Food is personal, cultural, emotional, and practical. I help you create patterns that fit your actual life.
