Lara Hyde’s interest in nutrition began in Calgary Alberta where she grew up enjoying activities like skiing, hiking, and dance. She knew how important it was to “nourish her instrument” and that dance could cause body image issues. She also has a severe peanut allergy which gave her an intense focus on food. These two experiences were the framework for a healthy relationship with food. She didn’t want food to become an obsession. Then through her college years, she had many experiences that refined her focus on the science of nutrition as a career.
