Can You Imagine Feeling Free To Enjoy A Meal Without Overanalyzing And Judging Every Mouthful?
There’s so much information out there about how to lose weight and eat healthier.
But it’s confusing when the advice you read contradicts each other.
Working through it all is hard when you’re on your own.
The answer to a lasting, healthy relationship with food is to get personalized support that works around your specific needs, goals and lifestyle.
When we work together, I get to the root of what you’re experiencing. I help you address how and why you eat. Then I share tools, strategies and meal preparation advice to help you ditch the diet forever.
In place of diets, I support you in creating habits that last and become your new normal.
Instead of bouncing from diet to diet, you are able to redesign your life based on healthy, positive food behaviors.
It’s Time To Get Started With A Clear Plan
medical assessment
I review your medical history, medication review, lab review, and any information that may need to be addressed to make sure I can address the root causes of your concerns.
diet assessment
I take this opportunity to look at the wonderful dietary choices you already make, and identify the sticking points that might need some tweaking. This might include adjusting meal and snack times, analyzing meal content, and evaluating nutrient content.
Lifestyle evaluation
Because healing comes from more than the food you eat, I take into account sleep, stress, and other integrative lifestyle factors. This evaluation helps me really get to know the challenges you’ve been working through, and can tailor each session to your needs.
Personalized
plan
This addresses the root causes of your concerns and includes a personalized meal plan and any meal preparation advice to put into practice the recommendations we talk about.
Clear up your nutrition confusion, create a clear plan, and confidently embrace a full life again
THE WEIGHT LOSS RESULTS WERE AMAZING AND LONG-LASTING
“My son had been fighting his weight and had years of unsuccessfully trying to manage it. I needed strategies and an understanding of how to help and feed him. Anita helped by explaining things very scientifically and realistically, and honestly. The results were amazing and long-lasting. My son learned to eat appropriately and formed healthy habits. Four years after finishing with Anita, he’s maintained his healthy habits and weight loss.”

Frequently Asked Questions
In the United States, the terms “Registered Dietitian” (RD) and “nutritionist” are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct differences when it comes to education, qualifications, and legal recognition.
A Registered Dietitian (RD) or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN)] must have at least a bachelor’s degree in nutrition, dietetics, or a related field from an accredited university. As part of their education, RDs/RDNs must complete a supervised internship program, pass the national registration examination, and maintain their registration by completing continuing education requirements throughout their careers. RDs/RDNs are recognized by state and federal laws as qualified professionals to provide medical nutrition therapy and nutrition counseling, and develop personalized meal plans.
The educational background for nutritionists varies widely, ranging from self-taught individuals to those with degrees in nutrition or related fields. There is no standardized accreditation or certification process for nutritionists in the United States. Nutritionists typically provide general nutrition advice and education rather than individualized medical nutrition therapy. The scope of practice for a nutritionist can vary depending on state laws and regulations. Nutritionists are not universally recognized as healthcare professionals in the same way RDs/RDNs are, and their ability to provide nutrition counseling and advice may be limited in some states.
It’s essential to note that the term “nutritionist” is not regulated in many states, so it’s crucial to verify a practitioner’s qualifications and credentials before seeking advice.
On the other hand, the “Registered Dietitian” title ensures a higher level of education, training, and expertise in the field of nutrition and dietetics.
