Natallia Lastovka

I’m a Doctor of Clinical Nutrition (DCN) candidate at Rutgers and a Licensed Dietitian-Nutritionist (LDN) and Registered Dietitian (RD). I’m also Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), grounded in evidence-based practice and rigorous clinical standards.

Since 2012, I’ve been the Founder and Executive Director of Nourish Me Nutrition Therapy, LLC, delivering individualized medical nutrition therapy and comprehensive diabetes care. I direct all aspects of practice operations—business plan development, budgeting, strategic growth, insurance contract negotiations, medical billing, accounts receivable/payable, and collections—while supervising a team of six members, including four dietitians.

I lead both clinical and outreach initiatives, promoting services through education and marketing strategy that includes social media development, content creation, and audience engagement. My clinical work spans healthy eating, weight management, diabetes and prediabetes management (including diabetes self-management education), cardiovascular health, gastrointestinal disorders, and eating disorders.

Earlier in my career, I co-founded Signature Diabetes Institute (2016–2020) to design multidisciplinary diabetes management programs for commercial organizations, including multiple diabetes programming tracks. I’ve also served as a Clinical Dietitian (2013–2016) at major rehabilitation and healthcare settings, and I contribute to research through Rutgers systematic review and clinical studies, pairing scientific literature review with practical patient care.
