Behind Öberg Nutrition

Lauren Lamendola-Öberg, MS, is the founder of Öberg Nutrition, a personalized nutrition practice grounded in evidence-based, metabolically focused care.She is also a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) Candidate pursuing board certification through the Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists.

Lauren earned her Bachelor of Science from Syracuse University before pursuing a Master of Science in Human Nutrition, where her graduate training focused on clinical nutritional biochemistry, metabolism, physiology, pathophysiology, and the complex relationship between nutrition and chronic disease. Her approach combines scientific rigor with practical application, helping clients translate complex nutrition science into realistic and sustainable strategies that support long-term health.

She believes that optimal health is best supported through a collaborative, client-centered approach. When appropriate, she works alongside physicians and other healthcare professionals to help support comprehensive, coordinated care. Additional laboratory testing or medical evaluation may be recommended through a client's healthcare provider when warranted to further inform individualized nutrition and wellness strategies.

As the youngest of nine children, Lauren developed an early appreciation for the role food plays beyond nourishment alone. Shared meals, family traditions, and gathering around the table fostered a deeper understanding that nutrition is not simply about nutrients and physiology, but also about connection, culture, and the rhythms of everyday life. This perspective continues to influence her approach today. While grounded in clinical science and evidence-based practice, she believes nutrition should support not only physical health, but also the experiences, relationships, and quality of life that make health meaningful.

At Öberg Nutrition, she believes nutrition should enhance quality of life—not diminish it. Rather than relying on restrictive approaches or one-size-fits-all recommendations, she works collaboratively with clients to better understand the unique factors influencing their health, including nutrition, lifestyle, stress, sleep, movement, environment, and metabolic function.

Her interest in nutrition was shaped by both academic study and personal experience. As a lifelong athlete, coach, and advocate for healthy living, she developed an early appreciation for the role nutrition plays in performance, recovery, resilience, and overall well-being. Her own experiences navigating complex health challenges further strengthened her commitment to understanding the body's physiology and helping others make informed decisions about their health.

Today, she supports individuals across a variety of health goals and life stages, including metabolic health, glycemic regulation, digestive health, women’s hormonal health, preconception and pregnancy nutrition, body composition, healthy aging, and long-term wellness optimization. Her goal is not simply to provide recommendations but to empower clients with the understanding, tools, and support necessary to make lasting and meaningful changes.

Lauren is passionate about helping individuals better understand their health and serves as a dedicated advocate for informed, personalized, and sustainable nutrition care. She believes meaningful change begins with listening, understanding each client's unique story, and building a supportive partnership rooted in trust, education, and individualized care.

Her approach is guided by a belief that health is best supported through informed understanding, intentional nourishment, meaningful relationships, and thoughtful stewardship of the body and life entrusted to each individual.

When Lauren is not working with clients, she enjoys spending time with her husband and family, preparing and sharing meals, writing, staying active, and continuing her lifelong pursuit of learning. She remains deeply invested in nutrition science and the evolving research surrounding human health, metabolism, and the pursuit of optimal health throughout the lifespan.
