About Ruby Health and Wellness
Lynae and Makena want to spread the message of peace with food. Do you know what it’s like to shed weight-worry and find yourself at home in your body? The body positive nutritionists at Ruby Health and Wellness work from a compassionate self-care approach that blends nutrition recommendations grounded in science with therapeutic approaches to support behavior change. They help individuals clarify their answer to “what is my definition of health?” Next, they work to guide clients in exploring food rules and neutralizing them while diffusing body shame and redefining well-being. It begins a journey that leads to empowerment, mindfulness, and self-compassion.
By combining the principles of nutritional awareness, personal development, and behavioral science, the collective of nutritionists who are part of Ruby Health and Wellness provides practical methods for redefining food’s role in our lives in a holistic, mind-body approach.

Lynae Smith, LD, CPC
Nutritionist
Pronouns: she/her
Hello! I’m a nutritionist and life coach with a passion for helping you tap into your intuition, connect to your core self, and move forward in a life grounded in your inner wisdom. I have worked as a Body Positive Nutritionist for over a dozen years, helping folks with disordered eating, weight concerns, diabetes, and overall well-being. I believe that every body, no matter the size, deserves to be nurtured and cared for, which is why I use a weight inclusive, body positive approach. In addition, in the past ten years, I’ve focused my continuing education on behavioral health so that I can better help folks navigate the food-mood connection.
