Health Professionals in Charlotte, NC

Is this you? You were diagnosed with PCOS and told to “just lose weight and come back when you want to get pregnant” but you have symptoms that you want addressed now... like elevated blood sugar, fatigue, and irregular periods. You've tried so many diets but dieting only leads you to binge because you have constant hunger and sugar cravings. You love the idea of intuitive eating and letting go of dieting but you're not sure what that looks like when you're trying to manage PCOS.

Are you looking to manage your weight or a health condition such as diabetes, heart disease, a GI disorder, or an autoimmune disease/inflammatory condition? Trying to determine how to nourish yourself while pregnant or navigating a women's health concern such as PCOS or menopause? Or perhaps looking for some guidance in a world filled with conflicting nutrition information?

If you are struggling to develop a peaceful relationship with food, know that you are not alone. Confusing 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 doesn't 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.
