Forget about social media, the internet barely existed when I was in nutrition school! I’m an OG RD. While I may not be a 22-year-old influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers, I have been emerged in nutrition and wellness for over half of my life, working with the best of the best in dozens of different gigs from world renowned hospitals like Hospital for Special Surgery, to private practices like Joy Bauer Nutrition to teaching graduate nutrition classes at NYU to writing for the James Beard Foundation. I now own Laura Burak Nutrition, a private practice and consulting business in Roslyn, NY but most importantly, I am mama to two kids, Lola and Sam.
Back in the day, you earned your stripes by good old-fashioned hard work, running around from one daytime job to your late afternoon job to your evening one, learning and growing with each hands-on experience. Almost two decades later, it is so cool that my experiences and knowledge can be shared with you via this thing called the internet and social media platforms and I realized recently that I LOVE IT. I really really love it! Does anyone feel like I am giving a speech right now? I now have the ability to reach so many of you and hopefully provide encouragement to motivate you that no matter where you are in your life, you are completely capable of becoming the healthiest and happiest version of yourself.
