Nutritionists and Dietitians in Washington

I am a registered dietitian who specializes in anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder, bulimia, ARFID, orthorexia, and other specified feeding and eating disorders. I practice under the “Health At Every Size” (HAES) philosophy and understand that body size is not a determinant factor of health. By incorporating an “all foods fit” approach to eating, I work alongside my clients to understand and incorporate the benefits of a less restrictive, more inclusive and joyful approach to eating.

I'm Karen Kennedy, a certified nutritionist, and I specialize in helping people reverse (and prevent!) metabolic diseases including metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, and type-2 diabetes. I'm also YOUR Blood Sugar Hacker, helping you find easy-to-implement ways to lower your blood sugar and optimize your health

Are you fed-up with the rollercoaster of dieting? Overwhelmed by conflicting diet advice? Are thoughts about food and body claiming too much of your headspace? How would it feel to NOT spend so much time and effort analyzing and second guessing your food choices? You are not alone and you don't have to figure this all out by yourself! Many of us are taught messages about food and health as far back as we can remember, and all of these “rules” can feel overwhelming. I'll help you sort through the noise and find ways to nourish your body in a way that makes sense for you and your goals.

If you are tired of chronic dieting and want to heal your relationship with food, you are in the right place! I help women create sustainable lifestyle changes to find food freedom and body confidence to become the best version of themselves. Eating to create a healthy lifestyle doesn't need to be complicated or restrictive. Imagine a life where you can stop dieting, eat without feeling guilty, and become more confident in yourself and in your body.

I love working with clients who are looking ditch diet culture, to redefine what "health" means to them, and to improve their relationship to food and body. But sometimes, the journey toward body acceptance and intuitive eating is complicated. Complex medical issues like autoimmune conditions, food allergies/intolerances, and disordered eating patterns can disrupt the relationship we have to our bodies. Most of my clients are sitting at this intersection, ready to explore a new framework and rebuild trust in their bodies.

Emmilia’s passion for integrative medicine and whole foods nutrition has evolved throughout her life and career. Like many of her clients, she grew up learning from various outlets that wellness should look and behave a certain way. After learning the transformative impact of integrative functional nutrition through her education at Bastyr University, and witnessing the shame, confusion, and damage that can come from a narrow approach to health through her work with patients, it has become clear to her that one-size does not fit all.

As an anti-diet, weight-inclusive nutritionist, I create a trusting and collaborative space to explore your relationship with food, body, and movement. With so much conflicting nutrition information in the world, often promoting restriction or ignoring what your body is telling you it needs and wants, my goal is to help you rediscover your body's inner wisdom. Diet culture and systems of oppression that tell us who we are and how we should be disconnect us from ourselves, crippling our ability to orient toward our own well-being. We may be a good fit for working together if you're looking for help:

Ready to ditch diet distress for good? It's possible, and it's what I help my clients with most often. If you're tired of constantly wondering whether you're eating well for your health, feeling overwhelmed by planning and preparing food in a way that's helpful for you, or wanting to learn more about eating to prevent or manage a health condition, my unique and proven approach will help you learn about what you need, then develop habits so you consistently have what you need.

My ideal client is the individual who believes that the road to health is not paved with medicine and has to decide to take their health into their own hands. Many of my clients come to me as the last resort on their journey of trying to overcome health challenges from autoimmune disease, weight issues, G.I. problems, hormone imbalances, or undiagnosed symptoms that the medical community has brushed off. My clients want the complexity of their health and lifestyle to be heard and examined. Offer answers to their symptoms and real solutions to meet their bio-individual needs.

With the plethora of pervasive nutrition advice and a culture fixated on health and thinness it makes sense to be overwhelmed, frustrated, and hurt by the task of feeding and caring for ourselves. Messages about “good” versus “bad” foods (and bodies) pervade our psyche from the youngest of ages. We are made to believe that there is a path to the perfect body and diet, and that it is just around the corner if we only continue the exhausting pursuit. The diet culture we all live in steals happiness and makes us become distrustful of our bodies. I firmly believe there is another way, a more sustainable approach to food and health.

As a dietitian with a diverse range of skills, I'm here for anyone looking to enhance their overall health and wellbeing. Whether it's balancing hormones, boosting mental health, or supporting your child's growth, we'll work together towards lasting health changes. Our journey will include delicious nutrition, fun physical activities, rejuvenating sleep, and effective stress management. I'm committed to providing personalized, culturally sensitive advice and adding more joy to your diet. If you're ready for a supportive and expert guide on your path to vibrant health, I'm here for you!

We all have different experiences that shape who we are. I collaborate with my clients using a non diet, Healthy at Every Size (HAES) approach to help them find peace and contentment in their relationship with food, their bodies and their lives. I work with both adolescents and adults. I offer tele-health and see clients in person in Tacoma and North Seattle. I am a certified mindful eating teacher and have worked with clients individually and in groups for 23 years. I also teach meditation. My website is www.mindfuleatingseattle.com

There is so much nutrition information online that it can be daunting to know what works! Healing from eating disorders and disordered eating is a multifaceted journey that requires immense courage, support, and commitment. It's a journey of self-discovery, self-compassion, and self-love. At its core, healing from an eating disorder involves addressing not only the physical manifestations of disordered eating but also the underlying psychological, emotional, and often deeply ingrained beliefs and traumas that contribute to the disorder.

I am an enthusiastic and dedicated dietitian who is also a self-proclaimed habit-itian. Why? Because I believe that maintaining a healthy lifestyle relies on our daily habits which go beyond what we eat. As a result, I can help you discover the powerful connections between stress, sleep, movement, and how they correlate to your overall health.

As a Registered Dietitian for Lighthouse Nutrition and Wellness, I enjoy working with clients who realize how important lifestyle and diet are to their health and overall life quality. These people are strongly motivated to make healthy changes and are willing to let us help. I've greatly helped clients in making healthier and lighter food choices, improving their lifestyle to help reduce their weight, and with reducing disease markers such as high blood pressure, blood sugar and hyperlipidemia. I've enjoyed working with many ages and also have a few child clients I enjoy working with.

I strongly believe in the power of food as medicine. I work with my clients to treat their health concerns using a natural, whole foods approach. My main areas of expertise include food allergies/sensitivities, digestive disorders such as IBS and SIBO, diabetes, and cardiovascular health.
