Welcome to Mama-Betes!
Welcome to Mama-Betes!
Meet Lindsay, St. Louis Based Diabetes Dietitian, Mama X 2, and founder of mama-betes!
As someone who has been living with Type 1 Diabetes since she was 9 years old, helping other people with diabetes has always been Lindsay’s passion in life.
Lindsay became a Registered Dietitian, Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, and National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach so that she could share her knowledge and experience with the world.
She knows firsthand how challenging it can be to be a busy mom managing diabetes, but she has also learned how empowering it can be to confidently care for yourself.
Lindsay’s passion for nutrition and wellness does not stop there. She also loves supporting busy families in learning how to fit healthy eating and exercise into their lifestyle as well as helping people learn to manage other chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and weight management.
In her spare time, she loves to spend time with her family, travel, read, take walks, explore restaurants around town, experiment with new recipes, and recently discovered a newfound love for pickleball!
Lindsay created this space to teach, connect, and partner with you and to share helpful tidbits, ideas, recipes, and product reviews along the way to help guide you and your family on this journey.
