Welcome to Sunny Side Up Nutrition!

Hi! We’re Anna and Elizabeth, two moms who are also Registered Dietitians and child-feeding experts with over 20 years of experience each supporting families and raising our kids. We are passionate about keeping diet culture out of parenting and supporting parents to make food simple and stress-free. 

We met in graduate school at the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health in 2000 and have been friends ever since. Elizabeth is a former professional baker who also loves to cook. She develops recipes and writes about cooking, diet free parenting and picky eating. Anna does not love to cook, but she’s passionate about family meals, nutrition, and opting out of the diet and weight loss culture. 

As pediatric dietitians with over 20 years of experience each, we share with you our clinical experience and expertise working with thousands of families with their own feeding struggles, as well as our own experience raising children.

In addition to the blog, podcast, and newsletter, we recently made a course and community available for parents who want additional support: Take the Frenzy Out of Feeding: A No Pressure Formula for Raising Confident Eaters and Feeding Your Family.

Elizabeth P. Davenport, MPH, RD, LD
Hi! I’m Elizabeth. Prior to heading off to graduate school to become a registered dietitian, I cooked and baked professionally for nearly a decade. I now consider myself a home cook who loves sharing recipes and cooking tips to simplify cooking for family, friends, clients, and you. I currently own a thriving private practice in the Washington, DC metro area where I treat individuals with eating disorders and families seeking support in feeding their children and raising anti-diet kids.

Anna M. Lutz, MPH, RD, LDN, CEDS-S
I’m Anna! I am passionate about helping families foster positive relationships with food and bodies. I live in Raleigh, NC, and also co-own a thriving private practice (much like Elizabeth’s!), where I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders and pediatric nutrition. I am the mom of 3 very different eaters.  I don’t love to cook as Elizabeth does, but I do believe in the importance of family meals and simple home cooking. Read more about me here.
