This is a painful blog for me to write. It shows just how much diet culture and striving for the thin ideal overtakes one’s logical thinking brain. Here’s the story… I’m treating a client for a gastrointestinal disorder. Due to the nature of her condition and her intolerance to many foods, she shared […]
You’ve decided to give up dieting (yay!) and you’ve been working on making peace with food. You’re doing a great job at giving yourself unconditional permission to eat and you are truly enjoying your meals. All this sounds amazing, but you are facing a dilemma. You’re enjoying your meals so much that you don’t […]
Something I’ve heard several times from potential clients is “I’ve tried intuitive eating already and it didn’t work”. And so, the search for the next diet continues. I get it. With all the messages swirling around you about the body you “should” have, the weight you “should” lose for your “health” and the false […]
How do you decide what to eat for dinner (or any meal)? It seems like a simple question, but for the chronic dieter who has lost all trust in their body and ability to make food decisions, this is actually a very difficult question that is faced with anguish. There’s the food that […]
For years I’ve been helping clients and patients make the changes necessary to live a healthier life. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, it’s an amazing feeling to hear from a client how I’ve impacted them in a positive way. Yes, I make a difference and I help people. Man, this feels good. […]

It’s part of the diet guidelines, along with eating “this and not that”, and of course starting an exercise program. Water […]
Sue walked into my office with tears in her eyes. She sat down and burst out crying. I gave her a minute, then asked her what was wrong. “I have diabetes!” She then burst into tears, again. I walked over to her, put my hands around her shoulders and gave her a […]
Vacations are wonderful. At least now they are since I’m no longer dieting. In my dieting days, it would be very difficult to find a restaurant to go to for dinner that had food options on the menu that I “can” eat. I was so very careful of everything I put into my mouth, and […]
Did you know that Americans spend more than $60 billion dollars annually to try and lose weight? Let that sink in for a moment. That number includes weight loss programs and money spent on diet foods and beverages. That’s a lot of money to spend blaming yourself when the “product” you are buying doesn’t […]
