Dietetics Done Differently

“I felt very facilitated.”

That’s how one of my patients described working together, and it’s the best compliment I could ask for.

Eating and your relationship with food is contextual. It happens around your schedule, your stress, your budget, your sensory preferences, your energy, and your celebrations. So instead of handing you a list of rules, we start with your real life and ask: what’s a good option here?

No fads. No guilt. Just curiosity, shared decision-making, and a plan that feels doable.

If you’re ready for support that meets you where you are, send me a message or book via the link in my bio. Everyone is welcome here.

Healing isn't about loving yourself ot your body every day.

Sometimes it's enough to practice turning down the dial on the criticism you've absorbed from the world around you, just a little, and give yourself a little more permission to just be.

And on the harder days, simply noticing the part that putting you down, that's okay too.

Diet culture loves to sort food and bodies into "good" and "bad." Black and white, all or nothing, binary thinking takes us out of our bodies and into our heads second-guessing every craving, every hunger cue.

Many of us are born with some ability to sense hunger and fullness. But for lots of people including those with trauma histories or who are neurodivergent that connection was never simple to begin with. And that's not a personal failure.

So when "just eat intuitively" gets pushed as the answer, it can leave you feeling like you're doing it wrong. Really, the framework just wasn't built with your brain, body, or history in mind.

What can help instead:
🌱 Get curious about the parts of you, thier messages and how they might be trying to help or protect you
🌱 Hold space for all parts with curiosity, not shame or judgement
🌱 Remember wanting to change your body isn't a moral failing it's a normal response to the broader systemic, social and societal constructs of imperialism, capitalism, racism healthism, weight stigma and fat phobia to name a few

You can learn what differentparts of ypu need and want, and make choices that reflect your values

The side effect nobody talks about with GLP-1 medications: shame, stigma, and isolation.

People take these medications for many reasons: diabetes, PCOS, cardiovascular health, weight-management support, and more. Yet the stigma often looks the same regardless of why someone is on them.

Social and cultural stigma. Family and friends with their own complicated relationships with food and bodies. Spaces where these medications are judged while other health interventions aren't.

Many people are navigating a significant health journey with few, if any, people to share it with.

Listening and holding space for the emotional and social experience of these changes is just as important as the clinical care itself.

Forget the 6-month, 10-kilo before-and-after.

Ask instead: how will you be eating in 6 years?

Not crash diets. Sustainable habits you actually enjoy.

Wellness isn't a destination it's small choices, done daily. 🌿

Lots of conversations lately around the impact of stress on appetite😅 stress promotes the body’s reward response to food and eating, increasing appetite and intake of foods that are usually high energy, palatable foods like chips and chocolate.

For women particularly, stress and increased levels of the stress hormone cortisol can lead to reduced fullness and satiety, increasing the likelihood of stress-induced eating. Cortisol dysregulation associated with chronic stress is also linked to interrupted hunger and fullness cues which can make trusting your body around food extremely difficult.

So, how do we reduce stress and take back control of our natural appetite and fullness cues? There are many strategies we can use to reduce stress which work for different people. It can be beneficial to explore which ones work best for you!🤝
