Lorena Asebedo Kaplen is a Registered Dietitian, culinary enthusiast and self‑taught chef whose passion for food and nutrition stems from her childhood.  She began to cook at a very young age and credits her Hispanic heritage as being a strong influence on her everyday cooking.

As a child, Lorena began to struggle with her weight and weighed in the 90th percentile for her height. Her mother enrolled her in a weight loss management program, which helped her combine her love of cooking with proper nutrition. Having personally experienced the challenges that come with being overweight and trying to lose weight, she focused her discipline in nutrition. She wants to teach people that healthy eating doesn't have to be boring or tasteless!

In 2005, Lorena received her degree in Nutrition Science and immediately after her dietetic internship, she started a small business called Lorena's Lean Lessons, teaching the community how to cook and eat for their health. Becoming a Supermarket Dietitian for H‑E‑B has allowed her to combine her knowledge in food science with love for nutrition and turn it into practical solutions for Texans. Everyday Lorena works with families and individuals to help them reach their health goals.  Lorena's husband and three young children inspire her to develop delicious & nutritious meal ideas.
