My Story
I’ve been on the diet merry go round and I know it sucks. I spent years of my life dieting - but the only thing it got me were messy digestion, wonky hormones, weight gain, and a bad relationship with food.
And truly, a bad relationship with myself. My self-confidence was shot and I felt terrible about myself. It’s like not being able to stick to food restrictions or a 1200 calorie diet convinced me that I was inherently incapable of pretty much everything. (I mean duh, of course I couldn’t stick to 1200 calories a day - I’m not a toddler!) It also didn’t help that I couldn’t keep the weight off, either.
All of those negative feelings led to more extremes, like severe emotional eating, binge eating, and a terrible all-or-nothing mindset with food and healthy habits. At best I just felt too overwhelmed and burnt out from dieting to give a single care about nutrition or health.
But with time, practice, and patience, I found my own healthy balance. A balance where nutrition meets food freedom, where I can care about my health and my nutrition, but nothing feels extreme or chaotic. A balance where I can still enjoy my favorite foods and food experiences, like cooking and baking with my family!
Nutrition to Fit is Here for You
And that’s what I want for you, too - for you to find your healthy balance.
I’ve spent years as a dietitian working in clinical settings, the community, in private practice, and have been nationally and internationally recognized for my work (check out my press page here). And one of the biggest takeaways from all of my education and experience is that there is no single right way to eat healthy for everyone. Health is unique! Your healthy balance is going to look different from mine, and that’s okay! That’s how it should be!
