Taylor Lechner, Lead Dietitian and Period Recovery Specialist
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 crafting personalized period recovery plans for my 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.
