Looking for Nutrition Help for a Medical Condition?
We specialize in eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, and difficulties in your relationship with food. We are not a general medical nutrition practice.
If your primary concern is diabetes, kidney disease, gastrointestinal disease, cardiovascular disease, food allergies, or another medical condition requiring specialized nutrition therapy, you will usually be better served by a registered dietitian who specializes in that condition.
Sometimes, though, the nutrition recommendations are not the hardest part.
You may know what you have been advised to eat and still find yourself unable to follow it. Food rules may become more rigid. Restriction may lead to overeating or bingeing. Fear, guilt, or confusion around food may make an already complicated medical diet even harder to manage.
That is where our work may be useful.
We help people untangle the eating patterns, beliefs, and struggles that can make nourishment difficult—even when they already have plenty of nutrition information.
