An Authentic Eating Approach


An authentic eating approach simplifies nutrition information. It recognizes that energy needs and body weight is highly individualized and cannot be determined by standardized tables and fitness apps. Authentic eating embraces a compassionate way of nourishing yourself and developing a peaceful relationship with food and your body. Through this approach, you can release yourself from guilt and shame related to diets and diet culture, learn to cope with emotions without only turning to food, trust yourself  and nourish your body without starving it. I help those who struggle with their relationship with food find peace with foodand learn to enjoy food again. 

 

Authentic Eating and Health

Authentic eating patterns allow us to enhance health and improve health outcomes (balanced blood sugars, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and find your natural weight). Nutrition counseling begins with a personalized approach to food as well as movement. It takes into account your lifestyle, as well as your health-related goals and finds a way to put them together.
