About Me

I’m Lynsey Hargrove, the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist behind The Planted Dietitian

I am honored to be a part of your journey! The Planted Dietitian was created to help you nourish your body and hormones as you prepare for your pregnancy journey.

You’re Not Alone!

I want you to know you are not alone. I struggled to have a healthy relationship with food when I was in high school. I was in a sport that required a weight class to compete. During the week I would restrict my intake, exercise a lot, count calories, and after my weigh-in I would eat all the food I had been depriving myself of. I would step on the scale on Monday and all the feelings of despair, unworthiness, and shame would set in. The cycle would repeat. Unknowingly this cycle fueled a disordered eating pattern. It wasn’t until college when I began to study nutrition that I learned how to fuel my body (and eat carbs), respect my body, and even dare I say it - love my body. Despite healing my relationship with food I am not immune to diet culture especially being recently postpartum (where everyone expects you to just bounce back.. what does that even mean?!). As a mom, I am acutely aware that everything I do my baby is watching. Including how I talk about food and my body. The Planted Dietitian was created to empower a generation of women that focuses on habit changes instead of carb exchanges, prioritizing nutrition not restriction, and finding healthy ways to increase energy so we can spend time with the people that matter most!

The Planted Philosophy

My view on nutrition and health is not all or nothing. I focus on small sustainable changes that can last a lifetime. Establishing a healthy relationship with food is even better than kale. Kale, yeah! No food rules because that is what makes me feel best and will guide individuals to fuel their body without restriction or guilt. I focus on quick, easy, delicious recipes that the whole family will love. I love to explore new foods so let's have fun and experiment together!
