Chronic Disease Management
Are you a middle aged woman who is worried about your health? Do you want to avoid restrictive diets and still improve your health measures? Has your doctor told you to lose weight to manage your cholesterol or blood sugar? You’ve been down that road before. You know that dieting is not the solution.
Our Approach
We believe you are the expert on your own life. Our work together will honor your experiences, preferences, and needs while guiding you toward evidence-based changes that support your health.
We don’t believe healthy eating means giving up foods you love or doing a complete dietary overhaul. Instead, we work together to identify gradual, realistic changes you can actually stick with. Whether it’s tweaking your meals to support balanced blood sugars, adding heart-healthy choices you enjoy, or finding easy ways to protect your liver health, our goal is to make sustainable progress at a pace that feels right for you.
Treatment
We provide compassionate, evidence-based support for people navigating:
Type 2 diabetes,
Insulin resistance,
High cholesterol,
High blood pressure, and
Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD)(formerly NAFLD).
Our sessions are a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share your challenges, celebrate your wins, and receive the caring support you deserve. We’ll help you sort through confusing nutrition advice, focus on what matters most for your health, and move forward with confidence—one gentle step at a time. Explore your relationship with food without shame or fear.
Instead of restrictive, rigid eating rules, we focus on intuitive eating principles.
That means that we will help you:
Build a better understanding of your body’s hunger, fullness, and satisfaction cues,
Let go of rigid food rules that can harm your relationship with eating, and
Make gentle, sustainable nutrition changes to support balanced blood sugars, heart health, or liver function.
FAQs
-
We understand that you may want to lose weight or have been told to lose weight. In the short term, losing weight might help improve some health measures. However, as you probably know, losing weight through restricting your diet never leads to stable long term weight. Most people regain any weight they lost over time. Weight cycling, or the repeated loss and regain of weight, is associated with enhanced inflammatory response and cardiovascular stress. Weight stability at any weight is the most consistently protective finding in the research. We prioritize health, and that may mean you lose weight, or not. But we do not pursue weight loss at all costs.
