common questions
No. The focus is on eating more plants, not losing weight. Some of my clients lose a marginal amount of weight, others do not. Weight loss is neither a focus nor a guarantee in my program.
It depends.
If you have been diagnosed with an eating disorder, then this program is not right for you. Please seek the support of a registered dietitian that specializes in eating disorders. If you are having trouble finding a provider, contact me and I can help you find one.
If you have a history of orthorexia or obsession with “clean” eating. Or if you’ve engaged in dieting or restriction to shrink your body, then book a discovery call. I have personal experience with this and may be able to help you.
I believe that all foods can fit. It is possible to make healthy changes (like eating more plants) without obsessing about everything you eat or focusing on weight loss. Don’t let diet culture ruin your pursuit of holistic wellness.
I’d be happy to discuss your needs and see if I can help you resolve a plant-based nutrition related issue. Book a discovery call and we can go from there.
Yes, I would love to work with you. I can help you integrate animal products into your diet (in whatever quantity you want) in a judgment free environment.
Transitioning to a new way of eating takes time. I find that four weeks is a good sweet spot in between what busy people have time for and how long it takes to change habits.
I do not take insurance. I accept credit cards through my PracticeBetter platform. I can create a super bill for you upon request.
