Nutrition

Listening to YOUR needs is crucial in devising a nutrition plan that will work. Whether you want more energy, want to prevent disease or simply need a few quick and easy recipes, nutrition counseling can help. I offer services in:

  • Intuitive Eating and ending dieting
  • Eating for optimal energy
  • Meal planning
  • Pre-conception and pregnancy nutrition
  • Breast feeding and post-partum support
  • Gestational Diabetes
  • VBAC hopefuls
  • Sports nutrition
  • Reducing risk factors for cardiovascular disease (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc)
  • General health
  • Menu selection for those of us who eat out frequently
  • On-going nutritional coaching

Please note that I do not work with clients on weight loss attempts. I believe this to be unethical. No study – exercise, diet, or surgery – has ever demonstrated long term maintenance of weight loss for any but a small minority (Mann et al., 2007, Miller et al., 1997). For those that do attempt weight loss, the most common side effect is weight gain. BUT 35% of dieters develop pathological or disordered eating with up to 25% developing clinical eating disorders. My work is to improve health measures, not denigrate them. Additionally, people in higher weight bodies do NOT have worse health outcomes than people in lower weight bodies (Flegal et al., 2019)
