We are born knowing how to eat. As we grow older, that innate understanding of our unique needs is often overridden by external messages: Clean your plate. Never eat after 8 pm. Only consume X number of calories, carbs, or fat per day. The problem is, these rules are often at odds with what we truly need. As we ignore our internal signals in favor of external dietary rules, we become more and more disconnected from our physical selves. Over time, we forget how to listen to our own bodies.
"With a little bit of nutrition science and a lot of reflection on your lived experience, we can work together to discover the behaviors that support your health - as you define it"
Today, the once simple question of what to eat has become increasingly complicated. We are bombarded with information about the foods that will hurt or heal us, and the recommendations seem to change weekly. Popular diets of the day often contradict one another, and experts battle it out in the media claiming that their way of eating is the only one that will keep disease at bay. It is no wonder food and eating have become a source of stress and anxiety in our lives!
We would love to support you in cultivating a balanced, nourishing, and peaceful relationship with food.
