About-Us - Nutritionist - LaurieAnn Scher, MS, RD

 

 

LaurieAnn Scher, MS, RD


I am excited to join The Center for Advanced Pediatrics(TCFAP) and Pediatric Endocrine & Diabetes Specialists (PEDS) where I am able to combine my passion for nutrition and health with my love and respect for infants, children and young adults. I enjoy working with this population because it provides me with the opportunity to not only help people make food choices that will improve their health, but also help shape future eating behaviors and feelings towards food and their bodies. Before coming to The Center for Advanced Pediatrics and Pediatric Endocrine & Diabetes Specialists (PEDS), I was a Nutrition Therapist at the Renfrew Center for Eating Disorders where I counseled patients and ran groups on nutrition and body image.

 

As a specialist in nutrition, I have worked with many populations and projects. Some of these include creating a peer education program on body image for high school and

middle school students, co- authoring a cookbook on weight gain, organizing a diabetes support group for college students, teaching nutrition on the college level and presenting on body image, eating disorders and nutrition to both professional and non professional audiences.

I look forward to working with you and your children whether there are concerns with endocrine, cardiovascular, cholesterol, weight and feeding challenges, or just learning what and how to feed them. Fostering inspiration, setting objectives and attaining them are goals we can work on together to ensure your children a healthy, happy and quality lifestyle.
