Dig Into My Story

A glimpse of me

I’m Sydney Lappe, a Registered Dietitian based in St. Louis with nearly 10 years of experience in nutrition writing and editing. With a Master’s Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics and a background in psychology, I’ve gained a deep understanding of the powerful connection between food, fitness, and mental health.

Fitness wasn’t always a big part of my life, though—my middle school P.E. teacher would probably fall over knowing I’m now training for my second marathon… But as I dove deeper into the world of health and nutrition, fitness quickly became a daily priority. Now, as someone who manages chronic pain, I’ve come to appreciate the gift of movement and am passionate about helping others embrace their physical, mental, and emotional well-being while they can.

Creativity is another big part of who I am—I love expressing it through words and graphics, always looking for new ways to inspire and connect with others. When I’m not writing and researching all things health and wellness, you can usually find me spending quality time with loved ones, staying active in different ways, enjoying bottomless cups of coffee, or savoring a hearty bowl of oatmeal.

TL;DR: With a Master’s in Nutrition and Dietetics and a background in psychology, I’m driven by the powerful connection between food, fitness, and overall well-being. My mission? To help others unlock their potential through a healthier lifestyle. (If I can go from sneaking by in P.E. to running marathons, I know you can achieve your goals, too!)
