Magdalynn Hays — Maddie for short — enjoys helping her clients prioritize their health by using a “food as medicine” approach. As a practitioner, Maddie’s goal is to create a custom plan for her clients that is science-based, true to the client’s needs, and, most importantly, fits into their lifestyle. Maddie developed a profound interest in nutrition and exercise (and the intersection between the two) during her undergraduate education at George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon. Although she was a competitive athlete for most of her childhood and early teens, healthcare and science did not initially appeal to her as a career.

You deserve to have the tools to learn how to manage your health issues, heal your body, and feel like yourself while living a life you love to its fullest potential.

Do you want to find peace with food and your body? Do you want to break the cycle of disordered eating and stop letting diet culture have control, but don’t know where to start?

Our bodies are our first homes. And yet, the struggle to belong in our skin and bones is widespread. From an early age, we are taught to mistrust our bodies; tune out its sensations and longings. We exile the parts of us that society deems unsavory to the point where the pain, grief, and loneliness of not belonging feel like our only option. You are here because you know you deserve to belong in your body. I am here to witness your journey toward building a loving and embodied relationship with yourself and the world around you.

Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? Have you tried every diet or health hack, yet still fall short of reaching your wellness goals? I get it! We get bombarded with daily messages about quick fixes to improve our health. Only to learn they are not sustainable in the long run. So how do we actually make lifestyle changes that we can stick to, for good? Through my personal experience I have found that there is no “one diet fits all.” To find food freedom, we must listen to our bodies, and stop listening to the noise of diet culture. Once I practiced this for myself, I found that food affected my mood, digestion & energy.

If you are struggling to cultivate a peaceful relationship with food, please know that you are not alone. Conflicting messages telling us how to eat, what to eat, and when to eat can make us wonder why eating has gotten so complicated. The short answer: it does not have to be. Whether you have been diagnosed with an eating disorder, suffer from disordered eating, or just want to know how to nourish your body without going on another diet, I can help.

Feel like your food and body struggles are taking over? Are you eating in secret, hiding food, or covering up how much or how little you've eaten? Obsessing over your weight and/or body shape?

I've helped hundreds of people out of these struggles, and am confident I can help get you on the road to recovery too.

I help people with Type 2 Diabetes get consistent lower blood sugars and decrease medications without feeling restricted in their lives. You may be one of the many people with Type 2 who were given very little advice at diagnosis.

I created the Drop Diabetes Program to simplify reaching lower blood sugar with a completely personalized plan and methods you can stick to.
