The general population has a solid understanding of WHAT to eat (referred to as nutrition knowledge). We can identify foods as fuel. The gap exists for most people within the WHY and HOW parts of eating. That could relate to the intention, emotion, belief or learned behaviours around food. We don’t fully trust ourselves and turn to outside sources. This is all before diet culture is thrown into the mix. Rampant societal pressures to look a certain way and eat a certain way clouds our judgement. It’s no wonder we can’t shed the layers of mistrust built up in our bodies.
In the event that we have to navigate a new condition, disease or diagnosis, it is easy to turn to an all or nothing approach to movement and eating. For most, this approach is unsustainable, tasteless and drenched in self-blame. We are inundated with conflicting information, none of it tailored to our unique needs. What results is a pattern of weight cycling, feeling left out of social interactions around food, binge eating and inaction
But what if there was another way? A strategy encompasses a wide definition of health and uses an additive approach towards food.

I work alongside my clients and focus on life aspects that are health enhancing, sustainable and evidence-based. Your body size does not directly correlate to your health status. I do not believe in pathologizing weight and/or body size. All bodies deserve dignity, validation and to be cared for respectfully. It is well documented that people living in higher weight bodies experience weight stigma and anti-fat bias, which has a significant impact on eating patterns, well-being and mental health.
I practice under the principles of as defined by the Association for Size Diversity and Health.
Research consistently shows that there is no sustainable permanent weight loss option. The more a person weight cycles and tries to control their body weight, the worse their health becomes (despite actual body weight). In fact, the biggest predictor of weight gain is dieting. Evidence shows that 95-98% of dieters gain the weight back and in most cases more, within the next 3-5 years. Your health and your worth cannot be measured simply by a number on the scale. Our bodies are designed to survive and they tend to shift naturally. Three outcomes exist: a gain, a loss or no change. Your body will determine what it needs to do.
Let's look at sustainable health-enhancing behaviours, not your gravitational pull to the earth.
