A registered dietitian is a health care provider who specializes in nutrition. They are required to obtain a bachelor’s degree (soon to require a master’s degree), finish a 1200 hour supervised internship, pass a national exam, and maintain 75 continuing education credit hours every 5 years. This is not to be confused with a nutritionist who has no requirements.

HAES stands for Health at Every Size™. It is a framework that emphasizes a holistic approach to health while being inclusive of all bodies. The principles are:
Healthcare is a human right for people of all sizes, including those at the highest end of the size spectrum.
Wellbeing, care, and healing are resources that are both collective and deeply personal.
Care is fully provided only when free from all anti-fat bias and offered with people of all sizes in mind.
Health is a sociopolitical construct that reflects the values of society.

Of course you want to lose weight in a society where being thin = being healthier, happier, prettier, more successful, and more important. In our 1:1 nutrition counseling sessions we hold space for your desire to lose weight and help you process through this. Research shows that 95% of diets or attempts at intentional weight loss fail; within 2-5 years most individuals will gain all of their weight back or more. Promoting weight loss not only encourages harmful eating behaviors, but it also doesn’t work. It increases your risk of weight cycling which has been shown as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, inflammation, high blood pressure, and insulin resistance. Just know that we accept you as you are and are here to help you with your nutrition vision.
