Hi I am Lea Rifkin,
MS, RD, LDN, RYT
Welcome! I'm Lea, a registered dietitian and the founder of Kindred Nutrition Co. I'm here for you and I'm glad you're here. Let's explore how I can help you find balance and achieve your wellness goals.
I'm a key lime pie, mango, and cheese-loving lady living in South Florida. You can find me spending time with family, my sweet dog, and close friends. I am frequently in the kitchen trying out new recipes, outside taking walks, or cuddling up while listening to my favorite podcasts.

First, Who Am I?
What Fascinates Me?
Penguins, seahorses, and other remarkable aspects of wildlife.
What Am I Passionate About?
Nutrition and dietetics.
Supporting individuals with eating disorders, disordered eating, and chronic illness.
What Drives Me?
But I’m Not a Regular Dietitian. I’m a Cool Dietitian!
I’m a Non-Diet Registered Dietitian...
The title Non-Diet Registered Dietitian might sound counterintuitive, but this approach empowers you to build a healthy relationship with food day by day and bite by bite. You deserve a fulfilling life free from the added stress caused by overly restrictive diets and overwhelming checklists of goals.
Since 2017, I have been helping individuals discover new ways to cultivate body-kind behaviors and addressing the root of their relationship with food. There are no temporary solutions here! So, ditch diet culture and find lasting confidence on your path to wellness. I’ll support you in achieving your short-term and long-term goals, at a pace that’s right for you.
