WEIGHT LOSS

If you're feeling stuck in the cycle of dieting, uncomfortable in your body, or unsure how to lose weight in a healthy, sustainable way—you’re not alone. But you don’t have to face it alone, and you don’t need another restrictive diet.

​

As a holistic dietitian, I guide you toward achieving your goals with compassion, clarity, and a weight management plan that honours your body, lifestyle, and mental wellbeing—not just the numbers on the scale.

Is This You?

  • Constantly try to lose weight through strict or fad diets, only to rebound

  • Feel overwhelmed by food rules and trackers

  • Struggle to maintain weight loss long term

  • Experience guilt or shame around eating

  • Want a healthier, more relaxed relationship with food and your body

Calorie Count
Potential Causes of Weight Gain
  • Chronic inflammation – Can alter hunger signals and promote fat storage
     

  • Food intolerances – Trigger bloating, water retention, and inflammation that can affect weight
     

  • Gut microbiome imbalance – Certain bacteria strains are linked with easier fat storage and cravings
     

  • Blood sugar dysregulation / Insulin Resistance – Frequent spikes and crashes can lead to cravings and overeating, inability to process carbohydrate / sugar gets stored into fat cells
     

  • Nervous system imbalance – Constant “fight or flight” mode (stress response) impacts digestion, hormones, and metabolism

  • Nutrient deficiencies – Low levels of magnesium, vitamin D, or protein can disrupt appetite regulation and energy
     

  • Toxin exposure – Some chemicals and endocrine disruptors (“obesogens”) may impact fat metabolism and hormones
     

  • Unresolved trauma or emotional patterns – Emotional eating can be deeply rooted in past experiences
     

  • Poor meal timing – Long gaps, late-night eating, or inconsistent patterns may affect metabolism and appetite control
     

  • Dehydration – Thirst is often mistaken for hunger, leading to excess eating

How a Holistic Dietitian Supports You

Traditional approaches often fixate on calories or restriction. A holistic dietitian, on the other hand, sees you—your biology, history, mindset, emotions, and environment.

​

Here’s how I support your weight management journey with grace and evidence-based guidance:
 

  1. Understand you fully—through diet, movement, lifestyle, stress, sleep, body image, and emotional patterns
     

  2. Tailor your plan—no “one-size-fits-all” rules; instead, create a nourishing approach that fits your life and supports gradual, sustainable progress
     

  3. Use flexible structure—for example, mindful portion awareness instead of rigid calorie counting
     

  4. Align holistic practices—like stress support, sleep hygiene, self-compassion work, and realistic goal-setting
     

  5. Celebrate progress beyond the scale—energy, strength, mood, confidence, and intuitive eating skills all matter just as much
     

Sustainable weight management thrives on balanced diets and lifestyle shifts—not quick fixes—and highlights the importance of avoiding fad diets and focusing on gradual, positive habits.
