Nutrition Solutions for a Healthier You
Meet Teju
​I am Teju Lakkundi, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist (LDN), Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, Founder and owner, Nutrition For You. I completed my Masters from Illinois State University and Dietetic Internship from University of Central Arkansas.​
I have been a practicing dietitian since 2014 and worked with several different organizations in the public and private sector. I have worked in the clinical setting and helped hundreds to achieve better health through optimal nutrition.
​
As a RDN, my goal is to reach out to the community and spread awareness about mindful eating and following a healthy lifestyle. In the past, I have provided private customized nutrition counseling to individuals, groups and corporate clients from different ethnic backgrounds and across the lifespan.
​
Creating well researched, evidence based, excellent presentations is one of my specialties and I am available to speak to small and large groups for all your nutrition needs.
​
If you are looking to incorporate a healthy lifestyle for personal, group or your employees' wellness, contact me.

DIETITIAN IN YOUR POCKET
I make it a priority to be available to you. I use a HIPPAA compliant system called Healthie that has a FREE chat feature! You can text me your questions in-between our sessions. You do not have to wait for your next appointment to get immediate feedback on your meals or that burning question you need an answer to right away!
Why You Should Choose Me?
Today, the internet makes it easy to find information about how to lose weight or lower blood sugar, or improve your cholesterol but this information may not be accurate. It can get overwhelming and confusing when you try to decide what is best for you while reading conflicting information on different websites and social media. I will take that stress off your shoulders by providing evidence-based, practical nutrition solutions and recommendations. My plans are always individualized to fit your culture and lifestyle. I will help you to take the best care of yourself with the best Nutrition For You!
With my background, education and experiences, you are in the right hands to help you jump start and MAINTAIN your health and wellness goals! Below are the top reasons for working with me:
01
Flexibility
All your appointments can be in-person or virtual.
You get to decide the time and date that works best for you. I’m available mornings, evenings on most days so you do not have to take time off work or any other important event!
02
Accountability
We know how to best take care of our health but actually doing the right thing is hard! So, with the help of FREE text/chat support I am available and hold you accountable while supporting you to reach your goals.
03
Nutrition For You
Everybody has favorite foods and some foods they dislike, so a “one size fits all approach” does not work with nutrition needs. I specialize in providing nutrition recommendations based on YOUR food preferences, your likes and dislikes that will align with your wellness journey.

I use a HIPPAA compliant program called ‘Healthie’ that will allow you to connect with me anywhere even while on vacation (if you want to!) or when you are on a business trip. The FREE chat feature means, you can connect with me anywhere you go!
