About Nutrition
Our RDs understand the tremendous amount of diet culture present in today’s society and will never be judgmental around any goal you bring in to work on. However, our RDs will not support crash dieting, restricting food groups with the sole purpose of weight loss, or any unsafe/unhealthy measures to lose weight. Instead, our RDs will work with you to develop a nutrition plan that meets your body’s needs, supplies energy you need for your activity level, supports healthy sleep, and lets your body find its way to the shape and weight that is right for you.
