Lauren Mahesri is a pediatric dietitian and the founder of The Pediatric Dietitian, a private practice specializing in picky eating, sports nutrition, and ADHD nutrition. With a background in child development and nutrition, she became a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist through the University of Houston and has since combined her love for food and working with kids into a career she’s deeply passionate about.
Before starting her private practice, Lauren spent years teaching culinary school for kids and working in clinical gastroenterology. These experiences showed her just how powerful food can be in shaping a child’s health and how overwhelming it can be for parents trying to navigate it all. She launched her practice to support families with real-life, evidence-based nutrition strategies that make a lasting impact.
Lauren works with children from birth through age 18 on a wide range of nutrition concerns, including picky eating, weight gain or loss, metabolic conditions, teen athlete performance, and starting solids with confidence.
