Meet the Team
Owner, RD/N and Period Recovery Specialist with over 10+ years experience
I knew I’d found my calling when I realized I could combine my passion for food with my deep desire to help women heal—from the inside out. Today, I feel so fortunate to wake up every day and guide women in getting their periods back, restoring their fertility, and reclaiming a life of true nourishment.
My own journey with disordered eating and orthorexia runs deep. After years of rigid food rules and losing my period post–birth control, I finally made peace with food, reconnected with my body, and discovered what I now call wellness without obsession. That healing work brought me back to a consistent, natural cycle—and ultimately, motherhood.
I live in Greenville, SC with my high school sweetheart and husband, Nick, and our two daughters, Madelyn and Annabelle. I’m a lover of all things boho, floral dresses in every color, good music, yoga and lifting, dark chocolate, mineral mocktails, and weekends on the lake in our boat.
Elise Liu, RD/N and Period Recovery Specialist
I’m a recovering all-or-nothing thinker who’s lived through the highs and lows of trying to “eat perfectly.” Years of undereating in high school left me period-less, moody, cold, and constantly running on empty. Deep down, I knew my body could heal, if I just stopped fighting it. So I let go of control, embraced intuitive eating, and gave myself full permission to rest and nourish. As a result, my period came back and with it, energy, clear skin, and a whole new sense of freedom.
Now, I help other women do the same. Whether you’re navigating hypothalamic amenorrhea, want to regulate your cycle naturally, or are preparing your body for pregnancy, I’m here to help you reconnect with your body and feel empowered in your fertility journey.
I’m a registered dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor with 6+ years of experience serving tech professionals in San Francisco from companies including LinkedIn, Meta, Nvidia, and more. I live in San Francisco with my fur baby, Pumpkin. When I’m not supporting clients, you’ll find me hosting brunch, solo traveling, or having deep belly laughs at a stand-up show.
Taylor Lechner, RD/N and Functional Lab Expert
Hi, I’m Taylor! My journey to becoming a hormone and period health expert began when I lost my period at 18 due to an undiagnosed eating disorder. My doctor’s only “solution” was to put me on birth control. This masked the deeper problem for over a decade. It wasn’t until I discovered that the pill didn’t give me a real period that I decided to quit cold turkey.
What followed was a whirlwind of irregular cycles, stubborn acne, and crippling anxiety—without any meaningful support from my doctors, who simply suggested going back on the pill. Frustrated and determined, I took my health into my own hands, diving deep into functional nutrition to heal my body naturally.
Now, I combine my expertise in functional testing with an anti-diet approach to help women recover their periods and balance their hormones naturally. At Nourishing Minds Nutrition, I specialize in reviewing functional lab results and personalized protocols for our clients.
I live in Columbus, OH, with my fiancé and our fur baby, Blue. When I’m not working, you’ll find me at hot yoga classes, exploring local restaurants and cocktail bars, sipping iced lattes, or enjoying long walks outside.
