I no longer believe that dieting is something that is good for you, I no longer see food as good or bad; I just see it as food! I listen to my body when I am hungry, and when it tells me I've had enough, I stop eating even if there is more food on my plate. For anyone that is skeptical about having a positive or even neutral relationship with food, I want them to know that it takes time and the willingness to do the work, but it does work!
It does get better. I did not realize how many food rules I had when I first came to Lisa in January. I was clueless about how restrictive I was being and how much I was sabotaging myself by trying to eat 'clean' in hopes of trying to look like teenagers on Pinterest. I would NOT go back to a life of restricting even if I was being paid and promised a Kardashian body, no matter how tempting it may be!

A lot of us have learned the basics: fruits, vegetables, whole grains. But honestly, how we fit that into our lifestyle is different for everyone. We each have an idea of what we like and don't like, what we feel is good for us and what isn't. Some of us maybe are still figuring that out. There's a lot of conflicting information in the media about health.
I work with college students and young professionals to improve their health and wellness, and develop a balanced relationship with food, recovering from disordered eating and weight concerns. I have extensive experience working in pediatric and young adult medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, as well as nutrition and exercise coaching at Brigham Young University in Utah.
