Do doctors fat shame?
Weight commentary sticks. In practically every initial nutrition session with clients, I hear of a family member, coach, doctor or boyfriend/girlfriend who once said something about their appearance or size. And 10 or 20 or 50 years later, these remarks can be...
What clean eating means to me
Add some more protein, maybe dark chocolate and avocado I’d like to think I have a good handle on nutrition news. I may skip some of the endless, depressing political articles but I read the food-related ones. There was an article in the Guardian that I...
Have you seen What the Health? I say WTF.
I love a good, food documentary and my clients do too. For some reason, a film seems to stick with you longer or make more of an impression than an article or even a food-related book. And so, when client after client asked if I’d seen What the Health, I had to...

This is how I lose weight
I mentioned to a friend that I felt ick following a recent vacation. “Do you let yourself go when away?” The sad part is, I don’t. I tend to eat, more or less, the same way when I’m away. But..all meals are out and there’s more booze, for...
Is it time for a tequila, rosé or chip intervention?

Should I see a nutritionist? I mean, shouldn’t I be able to do this on my own?
Our waiting roomRecently, I received an email from a longtime client, who I hadn’t seen in a few months.She was emailing for an appointment but expressed frustration at not being able to manage things (food things) on her own. This is a legit question but one...
