Janet Lau is a Registered Dietitian (RD) in private practice. Her journey to health and well-being started with an unhealthy relationship with food, which led to years of discomfort. She knew the first step to improving her health was understanding the root of the problem, so she enrolled in Hunter College’s Nutrition and Food Science program, where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree. Janet worked in treatment-based institutions after completing her internship and passing her RD exam. Several years later, she discovered the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where she became certified as a Holistic Health Practitioner. Janet continued to incorporate additional certifications with a gut-health focus.
As an Integrative Registered Dietitian, Certified LEAP Therapist and Holistic Coach, Janet remains passionate about providing compassionate support and guidance in her practice, Nutrition Custom Care. She provides a safe space for patients to share their stories and health struggles, understanding that a work-together approach is paramount to establishing rapport. As a result, she has helped patients adopt transformative food behaviors that meet their health objectives and improve their relationship with food. Janet’s diverse skill set and proven results-driven strategies are now available through her online courses for independent learners. Additionally, she holds monthly small-group onsite sessions and consults virtually one-on-one for a more connected approach. For more information, visit nutritioncustomcare.com.
