My Philosophy
Nutrition has always been a passion of mine but for many years I struggled with disordered eating. Despite having a degree in nutrition and many years experience as a dietitian, I had a poor relationship with food and my body.
As I began addressing my own disordered eating behaviors, I realized how engrained dieting is in our culture. It seems as though everyone is trying to look a certain way or cut out a certain food at the expense of their health and happiness.
I am committed to providing nutrition resources that fight “diet-culture” and instead are food-neutral and body-neutral. Through my nutrition articles, I hope to help women build stronger relationships with their body and with food. I hope to be the resource I needed all those years.
I’m glad you’re here 🙂
