Nutritionists and Dietitians near Melrose, MA

We live in a challenging time in regards to food, nutrition and body image. We are submerged in nutrition myths, quick fix diets and “perfect” bodies on social media. We feel immense pressure to change our bodies, and work tirelessly to eat and move in a way that will do just that, only to find ourselves defeated, exhausted, and back where we started. Over time, we forget that eating and movement should be pleasurable and nourishing.

Does food feel like more of an enemy than a friend? Are you confused and stressed about what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat? Do you fear foods, obsess over calories and labels, or worry about how foods affect your appearance? You are not alone. In our current world, information overload on how to feed yourself and options for food are overwhelming leaving people lost on how to nourish themselves and their families.

What brought you here today? Did you or a family member receive a new diagnosis? The words hypertension, diabetes, failure to thrive, “overweight,” can be alarming.

Every food decision is a stressor and, well, is that what they mean by “wellness”? We don’t think so. Our team of experienced dietitians work to provide peace around food.

What if I told you that you can break out of yo-yo dieting and finally accept your body? Are you consumed by a voice trying to convince you otherwise? It's time to stand up to this inner critic and finally make peace with food and your body. You deserve to live a fuller life, that isn't centered around trying to make yourself smaller.

We will have an honest conversation about what you need to focus on and how to make it happen. People expect a dietitian to judge them - but most people leave my office with hope, feeling like they are supported in making incremental change.
