Laura Lagano

I'm a conventionally-educated dietitian who has expanded her horizons and studied functional medicine. I help people heal with food, treating the whole person rather than a set of symptoms. And I love to eat, having grown up in a classic Brooklyn household with my Italian grandparents one floor above. Every important (and now that I think of it, every unimportant) event in my life has included food. Food was so integral in my early development as a person and in understanding the world that I made it my career. In addition to using food for emotional healing, which my Nonna demonstrated for me, I sought to learn how to use food for physical healing. And, I have seen it happen time after time.
