Meet Nancy Lum, Owner, RD, LDN

​

Welcome to Achieve Nutrition Results Today, a division of GIBNC.

​

Nancy Lum, RD, LDN, is a licensed and registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in GI and bariatric nutrition, weight management, and overall health improvement. With more than 19 years of experience, Nancy brings extensive clinical knowledge along with a compassionate, practical approach to helping clients create lasting change.

Nancy’s passion is helping people overcome emotional eating and unhealthy relationships with food while learning to enjoy and embrace nutritious eating. She understands how challenging it can be to change habits that have developed over many years. Her goal is to help clients move away from restrictive, short-term approaches and develop a healthier relationship with food that works in real life.

Nancy earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition from the University of Maryland, College Park, and completed her dietetic internship through the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS). From 2004–2010, she developed and directed the Bariatric Nutrition Program at Sinai Hospital, while also gaining experience across multiple medical disciplines. Her areas of specialization include GI nutrition, general nutrition, and surgical weight management.

Nancy is now the owner of The GI & Bariatric Nutrition Center, where she works with patients referred by numerous physicians. Her practice serves individuals with bariatric needs, GI diagnoses, diabetes, cardiac concerns, weight-management challenges, and those seeking to improve their overall health and wellness.

Nancy is also certified in Nutrition for Mental Health through Evergreen Certifications, recognizing the important connection between nutrition, emotions, mindset, and behavior.

To address the behavioral and emotional factors that can contribute to weight struggles, Nancy teamed up with Dawn O’Meally, LCSW-C. Together, they have delivered multiple powerful CBT-based group therapy programs through their MBS Weight Loss program, designed to help clients identify self-sabotaging habits and thought patterns and develop healthier strategies for long-term success. 

Nancy is co-founder of STRIVEMD LLC – est. 2012. StriveMD is a virtual program that uses CBT tools and strategies at their best. Clients become aware of their negative mindset, which leads to self-defeating behaviors and ultimately contributes to their lack of weight loss and/or weight regain. StriveMD empowers clients with powerful tools to combat self-sabotage.

At Achieve Nutrition Results Today, Nancy combines nutrition expertise, behavioral strategies, education, and compassionate support to help clients achieve sustainable results—and, most importantly, build a healthier and more positive relationship with food.
