Annie Lee, RD, LD (she/her)
Equity & Inclusion Outreach Dietitian
Annie earned her B.S. in Nutrition and Dietetics and completed her dietetic internship through the Coordinated Program at the University of Texas at Austin. Before joining TLB, she gained extensive experience working with eating disorders and disordered eating at both the partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient levels.
Annie's passion for this field was shaped by her own experiences being Korean American and a child of immigrants. Growing up, she witnessed how eurocentric values and cultural expectations around thinness and perfection created confusing messages around bodies and health. Untangling these messages helped support Annie to celebrate her own cultural heritage and to embody nutrition with a more joyful, compassionate lens.
Annie enjoys working with all types of eating disorders and disordered eating behaviors, and she takes a trauma-informed and liberatory approach in her practice. As a food and weight neutral provider, Annie loves to build context around nutrition messages to establish a connected and authentic relationship with food, body image, and movement. She is particularly interested in partnering with clients to explore how cultural identity and lived experiences impact their idea of health. Annie also has experience with supporting individuals with PCOS, chronic illness, and gut issues.
In addition to seeing clients, Annie holds the title of Equity & Inclusion Outreach Dietitian. You’ll often see Annie collaborating with the TLB Outreach Team, connecting with local organizations, and creating opportunities for the TLB team to engage in volunteer and community-based initiatives that reflect our values of inclusion and access for all. Annie also works to ensure that TLB’s practices, resources, and materials — including paperwork, meal plans, and educational handouts — reflect inclusivity and support for all individuals.
When she's not working, Annie enjoys relaxing at home with a cup of pour-over coffee, exploring Austin’s thrift stores, and walking around Town Lake.
Annie is a registered and licensed dietitian in the state of Texas. She is engaging in both in person sessions at our Central Office and telehealth sessions.
