Laura Acosta, RDN, LD, is a registered dietitian with four years of experience in the field of dietetics. She earned her bachelor’s degree from New Mexico State University and became a dietitian because of her passion for the powerful role nutrition and food play in people’s lives. She believes that developing a healthy relationship with food is an important part of overall well-being.

She provides individualized nutrition counseling for a wide range of conditions, with particular interests in diabetes, weight management, and gastrointestinal disorders. She is an Omnipod Certified Trainer and is CDCES eligible. Her counseling approach focuses on realistic, sustainable goals, meeting patients where they are, and helping them feel confident and empowered in their nutrition choices. She believes in moving away from labeling foods as “good” or “bad” and instead helping patients find balance while reducing perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking.

Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, staying active through a variety of activities, and spending time around plants and animals.
