What our clients say about this speaker

Dr. Young is not only a renowned leader in the field of nutrition—a best-selling author, NYU professor, and highly sought-after speaker—but also a deeply compassionate and caring counselor. My 15-year-old daughter connected with her immediately. Together, they explored her unhealthy eating habits and emotional relationship with food in a completely judgment-free environment, developing practical, sustainable, and satisfying meal-planning strategies along the way. If you are looking for a nutritionist who can help build a healthier relationship with food, break long-standing habits, and create meaningful, lasting change, I cannot think of anyone more qualified than Dr. Young.

Lisa’s guidance on portion sizes, mindfulness, and nutrition has truly been life-changing. For the first time in years, I no longer feel like I’m constantly battling my weight. Instead, I’ve learned how to make peace with food, trust my body, and approach eating with confidence and balance. Her unwavering support, encouragement, and compassionate approach have made all the difference in my journey
