A light you carry with you.
A beacon stands still in the distance. A lantern is carried alongside you. That's how we see a dietitian's role on a GLP-1 journey: practical, steady support at every step, including the steps after the medication.
Lantern Nutrition is a dietitian-led virtual practice founded by Marina Metry, RD, focused on one thing: helping people on GLP-1 medications feel well, eat well and keep their results.

Marina Metry, RD, RDN
Food has always been how I connect with people, and with evidence. I've spent five years as a Registered Dietitian across hospital, community and virtual care, and I bring that experience to every client: science, explained clearly, with warmth and patience.
I've supported people managing diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol, digestive conditions and weight, including people on GLP-1 medications. I've also led bilingual nutrition education workshops for diverse communities, and I speak English and Arabic.
My approach is judgment-free and practical. We'll look at your history, labs and routines, agree on small, realistic goals, and build your knowledge so the changes feel doable and last. You don't need to have everything figured out before we start.
Outside of work, you'll find me baking, reading, traveling or playing a good board game.
