Meet the Founder of Optimize Nutrition:

Lindsay Midura, RDN, LDN, RYT

Hi, I’m Lindsay! I specialize in taking a weight-neutral, trauma informed approach to functional medicine. I’m passionate about helping my clients heal and improve quality of life by harnessing the powers of food, movement, and mindfulness. I completed my Bachelors of Science in Dietetics through the prestigious University of Minnesota Nutrition Sciences department. I went on to complete my clinical internship through the University of Minnesota, specializing in eating disorder treatment and recovery. I have been in clinical practice since 2019, where I merged my passion for integrative and functional medicine and healing from disordered eating. I have also been a practicing yoga teacher since 2011, with over 500 hours of training from teachers both locally and internationally recognized.

I like to use a combination of functional lab testing and interpretation, medical nutritional therapy, motivational interviewing, and mind-body techniques to optimize physical health and heal complicated relationships with food.

I’m excited to share I am presently completing my advanced training in integrative and functional nutrition through the highly acclaimed Integrative & Functional Nutrition Academy (IFNA).

When I’m not caring for clients you can find me dancing at concerts with friends, exploring a new recipe or restaurant, hiking, or relaxing on the couch with my Yorkie Poodle, Java Bean.

What clients are saying:

  • "Lindsay's been my dietitian from initial eating disorder diagnosis through discovering what active recovery looks like for me. She has evolved with me to meet my needs, even adding services for my partner when he was diagnosed with Diabetes. Lindsay is unique in her critical thinking when it comes to the structures in place that affect our diet and health. Not once has she given me advice that she can't back up with both facts/research and thoughtfulness. She's trustworthy, funny, and perceptive. Nothing gets by her brilliant brain. I can without a doubt say that I wouldn't be who I am today without Lindsay."

    - Client Sally F

  • "Lindsay is a vital part of my healthcare team. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and provides helpful navigation through the world insidiously embedded in diet culture."

    - Client Alyssa P

  • "Lindsay has been extremely helpful with pinpointing my hormonal imbalances and providing practical, holistic solutions. I have gotten answers from her that I've been seeking through various primary care providers for years. I am not exaggerating at all when I say that by following her dietary guidelines and following my supplement regimen, I feel like a brand new person. My energy levels significantly increased, and remain steady throughout the day. I look forward to continuing my journey with Lindsay as I can noticeably feel difference after only a few months. I would highly recommend her!"

    - Client AS

  • "I have an eating disorder and Lindsay has been a big part of my recovery. She is very knowledgeable and caring. She is so supportive and I always feel like she has my back. I have learned how to be an intuitive eater with guidance from Lindsay."

    - Client Leah D

  • "I can't say enough good things about Lindsay. As someone who has struggled with food for my entire life, I really never thought I'd be able to change. With Lindsay's help, I started to see food differently. More importantly the cruel and unhelpful voice in my head has disappeared. I will never regret working with her. Lindsay truly changed my life and I'll forever be grateful."

    - Client Katy O

  • "I absolutely loved working with Lindsay! She was always so professional, informed, empathetic and kind!"

    - Client KP

  • I loved working with Lindsay. She helped me feel so much better in my gut and in my mind. I would recommend her to anyone!

    - Client SB

  • "I came to Lindsay because I kept getting sick on an almost monthly basis. I had a feeling it had something to do with my nutrition. Lindsay gave me guidance on how to improve my diet and stop being scared of eating. I finally see food as nourishment instead of as a way to lose weight. I haven't gotten sick once since following Lindsay's food and supplement plan. It's been the game changer I truly needed to feel better."
