Nutrition Counseling

Feel Lost In Your Relationship with Food?

• Are you often overwhelmed by thoughts of food?
• Do you categorize foods as “good” vs “bad”?
• Have you felt trapped by feelings of guilt about eating?
• Are you wanting to change your eating habits to move toward eating disorder recovery?

Understanding nutrition can feel impossible in a world where information can become skewed by diet culture. Wouldn’t it be nice to have just one reliable source for nutrition information so you could start to repair your relationship with food? Nutrition counseling can provide you with a trustworthy place to ask questions about food and provide you with support to make those changes needed for your recovery.

We’re Bombarded with Messages about Food

It’s normal to feel confused and overwhelmed when thinking about food and nutrition. Everyone has something to say about nutrition nowadays and when you’re struggling with an eating disorder – this can be dangerous. Often disordered eating behaviors – like cutting out food groups, eating too little calories, or over-exercising can be disguised as “normal” behaviors in the diet or wellness industries. Of course you would believe these behaviors are normal when major industries are promoting them! Hearing misinformation about food and nutrition only perpetuates the use of unhealthy disordered behaviors. The good news is, with the help of an experienced eating disorder dietitian, you can learn about nutrition the right way and finally be able to break free from the vicious cycles of restricting, binging, purging and exercise – and finally start LIVING!
