Life these days can be hectic and it is hard to find the time to focus on health supporting behaviors, like good nutrition and physical activity. Sifting through the internet can provide quick fixes, but efforts always seem to fizzle out after a few months. You want meaningful change that is sustainable for life, and sometimes that requires more than an internet fad diet to work.

Throughout my life, I have always struggled with aspects of my health. After more than a decade of work in the hospital setting I was burnt out and forced to learn to heal. My health suffered from poor nutrition (always eating easy on the go, high sugar etc), poor stress management, and poor sleep. Once I dove into healing the root causes of my symptoms, my skin cleared up, my periods weren't painful, my energy started to rebound making it easier to reach my goals. I see this every day in my clients, but it takes support and that's what I am here for.

Understanding a kidney diet can feel overwhelming. The internet is full of conflicting information which leads to more confusion than solutions. And when it comes down to it, healthy nutrition for chronic kidney disease is not a 'one-fits-all' diet. Maybe your kidney doctor has provided some diet suggestions but you are still not quite sure where to start.

With the plethora of pervasive nutrition advice and a culture fixated on health and thinness it makes sense to be overwhelmed, frustrated, and hurt by the task of feeding and caring for ourselves. Messages about “good” versus “bad” foods (and bodies) pervade our psyche from the youngest of ages. We are made to believe that there is a path to the perfect body and diet, and that it is just around the corner if we only continue the exhausting pursuit. The diet culture we all live in steals happiness and makes us become distrustful of our bodies. I firmly believe there is another way, a more sustainable approach to food and health.

How can a Tucson Nutritionist help me?
Dietitians and Nutritionists in Tucson provide advice on good eating habits. They help you with your diet and how it affects your health. They assess nutrition needs and food patterns, plan a diet that's appropriate for your physical and dietary needs, and provide nutrition counseling, such as advice on dietary changes and menu plans. They advise on special diets for medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, food allergies, and obesity.
The word dietitian has a variant spelling 'dietician' (e.g. find a Tucson dietician). Both spellings are correct.
