Meet Andrea

Well hello! So nice to have you here.

You’ve probably tried to eat “healthy” before — and maybe even saw some results — but nothing ever stuck.

That’s where I come in.

I’m Andrea, a registered dietitian and certified behavior and mindset coach, who helps adults stop overthinking food, lose fat sustainably, and finally feel confident in their nutrition and lifestyle— without guilt, restriction, or perfection.

I’m a wife to a wonderful & supportive husband + enneagram 2w3 + adventurous introvert, who loves listening to a good podcast while cooking or exercising, anything dark chocolate, reading, traveling and exploring the beautiful outdoors.

That's a little bit about me, but LETS REWIND FOR A SEC SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE THIS ALL STARTED…

At Andrea Lindsay Nutrition, my mission is to empower you with freedom, clarity, and confidence in your nutrition choices so you can make progress that actually lasts.

Because nutrition shouldn’t feel like punishment — it should feel empowering, doable, and aligned with your life.

By combining the science of nutrition with the science of mindset and behavior change coaching, I support you in making changes that actually last. I simplify complex nutrition and behavior change concepts, and offer practical and empathetic guidance that helps you build sustainable habits and lifestyle, and a healthier relationship with food and your body.

My Mission:

I’m not your average nutrition coach…

At the age of 14, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis—an autoimmune condition that turned my life upside down. As an active teen with a busy life ahead, like many, I tried every “fix” out there. Restrictive diets. Superfoods. Supplements. You name it.

Instead of healing, I ended up exhausted, undernourished, and disconnected from the joy of food.

How I Got Here…

It wasn’t until I discovered the science behind nutrition — and saw how it could support my body instead of fighting against it — that everything changed.

During my senior year in college, I met a dietitian at a local health fair. I didn’t talk to them that day, I simply observed them do their job and I was hooked. That quick health fair encounter shifted everything. I realized nutrition wasn’t about judgment or cutting out food groups—it was about empowerment, education, and feeling healthy again.

<-- the day that changed my future career. Little did I know that I would recover my health after applying balanced nutrition to my lifestyle

That experience in December 2012 changed my future career route to the point that I ended up pursuing a Master’s in Public Health Nutrition & Dietetics. It was in grad school that I finally learned how to really use evidence-based nutrition and behavior changes (thank you school of Public Health!) to support real health and lifestyle changes—including my own. After graduating in 2015, and passing my board in 2016, I became a Registered Dietitian.

2013-2016

Since then, I’ve worked in a variety of clinical and nutrition coaching settings with people from all walks of life. 

2016-2024
2024-present 

After nearly a decade of helping hundreds of individuals navigate their nutrition, I noticed more and more that knowing what to do wasn’t the biggest struggle— people were coming to me asking for help with the how. How to start. How to stay consistent. How to not give up and continue following through. How to make health and nutrition decisions for life.

That’s what led me to get certified in mindset and behavior change coaching, and, with the incredible support of my husband, create Andrea Lindsay Nutrition LLC.

Now I offer virtual nutrition coaching, helping clients who are tired of hopping from diet to diet, program to program, “good on the week, off on the weekends”, create lasting nutrition and lifestyle changes they actually enjoy (no more bland veggies, please!).

Work with me

  • You don’t need more discipline — you need the right plan.

  • You can eat the foods you love (in balance) and still reach your goals.

  • Guilt and shame don’t create change — understanding and self-efficacy do.

  • Health should feel freeing, not restrictive.

What I Believe:

What Makes My Approach Different:

Most people know what to do — they just don’t know how to make it stick. That’s why I combine evidence-based nutrition
with mindset and behavior change coaching.

Together, we’ll build a plan that fits you — your preferences, your lifestyle, and your values— so you can sustain progress for life.
