Olivia brings a compassionate, individualized approach to her work with clients experiencing eating disorders and gastrointestinal concerns. She is dedicated to helping clients better understand their bodies while building a more flexible, sustainable relationship with food.

Olivia sees clients virtually in MA, CT, NY, FL, OR, and CA.

  • Growing up in a Greek family where food was a central part of everyday life, Olivia developed an appreciation for the ways food can nourish us, bring us together, and shape our experiences. Her interest in nutrition began through athletics and grew into a passion for helping others develop a more positive and flexible relationship with food.

    Olivia has experience working with adolescents in residential eating disorder treatment, supporting clients through nutritional rehabilitation, exposure work, and the physical and emotional challenges of recovery. She especially enjoys working with adolescents, neurodivergent individuals, and athletes. She also has a strong interest in gastrointestinal health, particularly the ways nutrition, stress, and mental health can influence digestive symptoms.

    Olivia takes a collaborative and individualized approach, working with clients to establish realistic goals and develop practical strategies that fit their lives. She believes meaningful change is most sustainable when clients feel heard, understood, and actively involved in their care. Together, she and her clients work to find an approach that supports their individual needs while building flexibility and confidence around food. Her approach incorporates evidence-based nutrition therapy, Health at Every Size®, food neutrality, and intuitive eating.

    Outside of work, Olivia enjoys reading, trying new recipes, spending time outdoors, and being with loved ones.

Lauren Adler Dear, MS, RDN
(she/her)

Lauren, the owner at Dear Nutrition, brings warmth, expertise, and a deeply personal understanding to her work in digestive health and eating disorders. Her approach is shaped by years of experience in nutrition education, organic farming, and her own GI diagnosis.

  • Lauren's passion for nutrition grew out of a love for cooking and growing food. She was brought up in a food-obsessed Jewish household where the freezer was always so full you had to stand back before opening it.

    During her college years, Lauren spent five months traveling and working on farms in a variety of jobs. After graduating in 2005, she worked on two organic farms in western Massachusetts, and also taught gardening, nutrition, and cooking to elementary and middle school children. These experiences shaped Lauren's approach to nutrition counseling. Her own GI diagnosis inspired her to specialize in digestive health.

    In Lauren's free time, she can be found experimenting in the kitchen, taking walks around Boston, collecting vintage kitchenware, and most of all, laughing, playing, and eating with her husband and kids.

    Lauren is a contributing author to The EDGI Project: Comprehensive Nutrition Therapy for Co-Occurring Gastrointestinal Disorders & Eating Disorders., a handbook for dietitians.

    Lauren also collaborates with Dr. Vera Denmark at https://denmarkdigestive.com/ to support her patients.
