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.

At Dear Nutrition we specialize in digestive health and eating disorders and have a particular interest in how the two intersect.
