Do I need Nutrition Counseling?
That depends, we all have different relationships with food. There is no standard diet or way of eating, simply individuals with different needs. And just like an individual, nutrition counseling looks different for every person.
It is an ongoing process where our registered dietitians work with patients to assess their relationships with food. Helping identify any nutritional problems, needs, and setting goals. The process can be involved depending on several factors. Like the patient’s history with disordered eating, specific needs, and of course the person themselves.
We tailor every treatment to meet the needs of the patient. We are also passionate about honoring Healthy at Every Size (HAES®), fighting chronic diet culture. Instead, striving to inspire patients to learn more about their body needs for nourishment and what they need to maintain a healthy relationship with food.
We remove rules, judgements, and obsessions related to food. Leading patients to find what works for them and helping them find peace in their relationship with food. Encouraging them to focus on enriching life and experiencing more enjoyable things.
Deciding to work on your relationship with food is nothing short of Brave. Nutrition can be such a complex, daunting, difficult topic. It is our goal to provide comprehensive nutrition counseling and support. To help patients navigate this journey, free of judgement, where all foods fit.
The first step to improving your relationship with food is accepting you may need help, and that is why we are here. To learn more about nutrition counseling, please call 630-474-5321. Then, one of our knowledgeable clinicians will be available. They can provide more information about our solutions in Downers Grove and can discuss your needs in more detail.
