Lindsey Carter, MS, RDN-

I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with my Masters Degree in Nutrition. I provide nutrition counseling for infants, children and adolescents. At Back 2 Basics Nutrition I help families get back to the basics of eating. We achieve this through whole foods, and establishing uncomplicated, natural, and nourishing eating habits. No fad diets here and no magic shakes. I have been trained in Motivational Interviewing, and practice family centered counseling with positive reinforcement. In addition to a passion for pediatric nutrition I have 4 young sons who like to keep me busy. I like to bake, garden, and crochet which makes me sound like an old lady! I enjoy dark chocolate, olive oil and old bay…but not all together. I hope to meet you and your family soon and learn more about your child as well!
