Margret Lyons

RDN, CD
GLP-1 SupportSports NutritionWeight ManagementMenopauseIBSHypertensionHyperlipidemia

Margret is a seasoned expert in managing nutrition for a range of chronic diseases and conditions such as PCOS, diabetes, IBS, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Her true passion lies in guiding patients towards balanced and healthy weight management during peri/post-menopause. She comprehends how women, despite their best efforts with diet and exercise, can feel overwhelmed by the rapid shifts in their health and bodies due to hormonal changes.

Collaboration with individuals at various stages of life, whether balancing work and family or supporting aging athletes, is the cornerstone of her treatment. She tailors her approach to each person's unique needs, helping them achieve and sustain their health goals.

Margret graduated with her degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from Bastyr University. She completed her dietetic internship at Good Shepherd Medical Hospital, The Institute for Healthy Living, The University of Texas Health Science Center, and Snoqualmie School District.

Beyond nutrition, Margret's interests extend from reading to outdoor activities such as running, hiking, and climbing local peaks. A former bike racer, she still enjoys leisurely rides, particularly if it means traveling to some place epic!
