Meet Lindley Wells
Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Nutrition Specialist
​
My interest in environmental and food policy, integrative nutrition, and public health has guided me throughout my educational and professional life. Even when I was very young, healthful and intuitive eating and living has been a passion and now I am lucky enough to pursue it as a career. It was the emphasis placed on the vital and interrelated physiological, environmental, socio-cultural, and spiritual role of food in my master's program that helped me to choose this career path.
​
Over the last five years, I've had the privilege of training under and learning from some of the foremost leaders in the field of functional and integrative health, including, Kara Fitzgerald, Aviva Romm, and staff at Mark Hyman's Ultra Wellness Center – all trailblazers and visionaries. Their mentorship and wisdom have been instrumental in shaping my expertise and outlook.
In addition to clinical work, I love researching and writing and am published in Forbes, MindBodyGreen, Yahoo, Real Simple, and CleanPlates
​
I believe in real food and real ingredients and I am always busy in the kitchen creating healthful, tasty, and nutrient-dense recipes. I use a practical, positive approach to help both children and adults improve their overall well being, achieve their goals, and develop sustainable habits to lead a healthy and happy life. I treasure the opportunity to be part of one’s journey and find the foods that nourish both body and soul.

Functional and Integrative Nutrition
Why Functional and Integrative Nutrition?
It can help with...
Digestion
Optimal digestive health is of paramount importance for nutrient absorption, immunity, hormonal balance, and overall well-being, as it ensures the body can efficiently break down and utilize the essential components of the foods we consume.
Fatigue
A balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-rich foods can help maintain stable blood sugar levels, preventing crashes and sustaining energy throughout the day. Additionally, proper hydration and adequate intake of vitamins and minerals are vital components of energy maintenance and overall physical endurance and performance.
Detoxification
Optimal detoxification is essential as it enables the efficient removal of accumulated toxins, promoting a healthier internal environment for nutrient absorption and utilization. A well-functioning detoxification system is critical for hormonal balance and digestive health.
Hormonal Balance
Proper nutrition can help promote hormonal balance as well as stable blood sugar levels and a well-functioning metabolism. Achieving hormonal equilibrium through the appropriate diet can lead to improved energy levels, mood stability, and a reduction in symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances.
Immunity
Nutrition is a cornerstone of a robust immune system. Moreover, maintaining a healthy gut through proper nutrition can enhance immune function, as a significant portion of the immune system resides in the gut.
Stress
Effective stress management is crucial for maintaining both mental and physical well-being. By implementing stress-reduction techniques, individuals can enhance their resilience and improve their overall quality of life. Prioritizing stress management fosters emotional stability, cognitive clarity, and a greater sense of control over one's health and happiness.
