I specialize in helping individuals and families optimize their health, well-being, and eating behaviors. I offer private nutrition counseling and group workshops using a non-diet, Health At Every Size (HAES) perspective. This means I won’t focus on your body size or prescribe eating rules to follow. Instead, I will serve as a guide on your journey to better health and wellness. This journey looks different for everyone; there is no “one size fits all.”

I'm Elizabeth, and my coaching service goes beyond filling a knowledge gap. You may be looking to find clarity, support, and accountability as you work towards your health goals.

If you’re recently diagnosed with pre- or Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, or entering a new stage in your bariatric surgery journey, I can help you navigate the needed transitions in your eating pattern.

All clients are ideal...they come with their own individual nutrition issues. As a Registered Dietitian it is my hope that we can come up with a plan of action to meet their needs. By giving the client time to communicate what they have been dealing with and coming up with goals together....the support can come in a gentle and nurturing environment. Many clients come in not knowing what to expect or are scared of making changes. That is not unusual. Helping them see what they can accomplish and breaking it down into manageable pieces can decrease the anxiety of coming in.

The best part of working with my clients is seeing the mental shift that occurs with nutritional therapy. I work with a lot of people who have been imprisoned by restrictive diets and have beaten themselves up for years because they feel like a failure. At Nutrition Unveiled, the most important thing that occurs is developing a positive relationship with the mind, body, and food, and learning to nourish and treat the body rather than deprive and hurt the body. Happiness creates a much deeper level of health than any number on the scale ever will!

Are you struggling to lose weight, develop muscle tone, or heal your relationship with food ? Or maybe you need help managing a health condition like diabetes or kidney disease , lowering your cholesterol /blood pressure . My goal is help you feel good through focusing on what works for YOU.

Whether you desire to lose weight, manage diabetes, lower cholesterol, reduce FODMAPS, manage IBD/SIBO, navigate food allergies, increase energy, or enhance sports performance, I can help. Eating well isn't about "boring" foods. I enjoy helping people discover ingredients that provide nutritional benefits & also pack flavor. I realize that we all have lives to live and not everyone has hours to devote to food prep. Through ongoing nutrition counseling, I provide you with a nonjudgmental space to help make sense of the abundant nutritional information and to collaboratively develop a personalized eating plan with your health goals.

I help clients overcome common obstacles to weight loss, fix their relationship with food, and break up with dieting for good. Are you "doing the right things" to lose weight, but it's just not working? It's not you OR your lack of willpower. Traditional diet advice may work in the *very* short term, but ultimately works against your physiology leading to a sluggish metabolism and (unfortunately) weight gain. Luckily, it is possible to reverse this, then work with your body to reduce inflammation and balance your hormones, to make weight loss both achievable AND sustainable.

A personalized, root-cause approach designed to empower you and let fatigue, gut symptoms, periods issues, and skin issues be a thing of the past.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, confused, scared of eating foods due to your digestive disorder diagnosis (IBS, IBD, gastroparesis, new ileostomy/colostomy, etc)? Has this led to a restrictive diet, fatigue, stress and weight loss? I am here to help clients like you to troubleshoot and navigate your digestive issues, empower you through personalized step-by-step strategies to help reduce fear and anxiety around eating, decrease inflammation, and get your peace, energy and confidence back.

Do you feel like you can't control your eating food- related behaviors ? Do you see yourself as "fat" when others see you as too thin? Would you say that food and thoughts about food dominate your life? You don't have to be alone in your struggle. My specialized and experienced empathetic approach focuses on you and your personal experience . The science of nutrition is important but struggling clients need support with their emotions around food and eating. Plan of care and recovery is developed carefully with your involvement.

I work with various types of clients, but my main focus is on gastrointestinal (GI) health. These GI health issues can be acid reflux/heart burn, irritable bowel disease (IBS), small bowel intestinal overgrowth (SIBO), ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease and more.
