Nutrition Coach

Lindsay Farmer was born into a family of long-term avocado growers in Santa Barbara County and is proud to be a fifth-generation Ag! “I’ve always been fascinated by where food comes from and how it impacts people’s lives,” says Lindsay.  “It was a joy growing up working the land with my family and interacting with other farmers. Running stands at Farmers’ Markets also gave me a great opportunity to be around lots of people with very different takes on food and their relationship with it.”

This passion brought Lindsay to Chico State where she graduated with a BS in Nutrition and Food Science, Dietetics, and Nutrition Management. She went on to earn her Registered Dietitian (RD) credential and is also a Clinical Registered Dietitian at Enloe Medical Center where she provides nutrition therapy and counseling in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.

“I firmly believe that food is very personal”, says Lindsay. “There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition. And quick fix, next-best-thing fad diets just don’t work for sustainable health. My style is to first understand an individual’s food likes and dislikes, specific needs, health issues, and goals. I collaborate with them to ensure they are still eating foods they enjoy while simultaneously making choices that will help them reach their goals. Through education, my clients also become confident in their food choices while having the autonomy to make their own decisions.”

“I am thrilled to be the new Nutrition Coach at Whole Body Fitness,” continues Lindsay. “I could quickly tell that the entire team at WBF is passionate about helping people achieve their health goals. It’s a very people-focused place.”

“The name Whole Body Fitness encompasses the atmosphere here perfectly. We really do take a “whole body” approach by providing personal training AND personalized nutrition coaching, while fostering a great community. That’s a model that really helps people improve their health and lives.”

In her spare time, Lindsay enjoys camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, and raising her German Shepherd.
