Anti-Diet Weight Loss
Growing Well Nutrition is an anti-diet-based practice that takes the focus away from weight and put it on the nourishment of the whole body. We believe that all foods can fit into a healthy, balanced diet. No more yo-yo dieting or cutting out foods/ food groups, daily weigh-ins, and quick fixes!
What we will NOT do: We will NOT provide a quick-fix diet, tell you to restrict foods or food groups, put you on a low-calorie diet, suggest supplements, or any other fad diet or weight-loss program.
What we will do: We will meet you where you are at in your nutrition, eating, and body image journey taking the time to understand YOU, your beliefs, food rules, goals, and struggles, and then work with you to learn how to nourish your whole self.

Diet Culture Rebel
Diet culture is defined by Christy Harrison, MPH, RD, author of Anti-Diet, as “a belief system that ‘worships thinness and equates it to health and moral virtue,’ promotes weight loss and maintaining a low weight as a way to elevate social status, and demonizes certain foods and eating styles while elevating others” (Christine Byrne).
Time after time we see society dictating how you should eat, and what you should look like. While it is easy to pick up a quick fix, it is not realistic, sustainable, or healthy. Instead of letting society dictate your worth, take back that control and learn how to trust your body.
At Growing Well Nutrition, we will teach you how to do that through intuitive eating. In short, intuitive eating is trusting your body when making food choices that make you feel good both physically and mentally and fuel your body without the influence of diet culture.

Cardiovascular Conditions
Many times, after being diagnosed with a heart-related condition, you are told to change the way you eat but are never told how to do it. Working with a dietitian with Growing Well Nutrition, we believe in Health at Every Size and will not assign a value to your weight. We will look at factors such as bloodwork, food behaviors, and other environmental factors to help you manage this condition. We will not tell you you cannot eat your favorite foods anymore but help you make positive changes that won’t leave you feeling unhappy or stuck.
