Your Community Nutritionist

 
 

Rachel N. Laster, MS, RDN, CDN

I believe that everyone deserves access to the information to lead a healthy and enjoyable life. During several years of community based work, I learned of the great deal of chronic disease in Western New York. Particularly among our most vulnerable citizens, those who can’t afford better food, and have a lack of access to it. While there are concerted efforts toward providing better access to healthier food choices, many individuals do not necessarily have the nutrition knowledge or food preparation skills to make the best food choices.
My goals are to help my community become healthier through better diet choices.
In counseling, I will meet people where they are at, and we will work together to improve health and manage disease through diet.  
In consulting, I want to help local businesses best serve their community by allowing them to give their customers the nutritional information they need to make wise food choices.
