Feeling overwhelmed by pregnancy changes, postpartum recovery, or starting solids with your baby? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. My clients often come to me exhausted, confused about what to eat, and anxious about how to support their own healing while caring for a newborn or navigating food sensitivities in their baby.

Hi there! I'm Kerry, a dietitian with over 7 years of experience in nutrition. I absolutely love my career! I wake up every morning truly grateful to have the opportunity to help amazing people (like you) reach their nutrition goals so they achieve a higher quality of life. My specialty is Digestive Diseases and Disorders/Gut Health. Having IBS myself, I truly relate to and empathize with others with digestive issues. I understand what it's like to avoid food out of fear that it will trigger discomfort. I understand what it's like to battle chronic pain and bloating, leaving you feeling self-conscious in your body.

Plant Based Diets Nutritionists and Dietitians
What is a plant-based diet?
A plant-based diet emphasizes the consumption of foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, while reducing or eliminating animal products like meat and dairy. Unlike a vegan diet, which excludes all animal products, a plant-based diet does not necessarily require complete elimination of animal-based foods, although some individuals choose to do so. Many people following a plant-based diet also aim to incorporate more "whole foods" into their meals, favoring less-processed options over highly processed foods. For example, they might choose brown rice over white bread or fresh fruits over baked goods. The focus is on eating nutrient-dense, natural foods to promote overall health and well-being.

What are the benefits of a plant-based diet?
Research has shown that a plant-based diet offers numerous health benefits, including weight loss, lowered cholesterol levels, reduced blood pressure, and better blood sugar control. These benefits can arise from eating fewer animal-based foods, which are high in saturated fats, or from the weight loss that many people experience when starting a plant-based diet. Additionally, plant-based diets are known for their anti-inflammatory effects, which support a healthy immune system and may be particularly helpful for those with inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis. Plant-based diets are also high in fiber, which improves digestive health and can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Who should follow a plant-based diet?
Anyone can follow a plant-based diet, and many nutrition and medical professionals encourage its adoption due to the numerous health benefits associated with consuming more plants and reducing animal-based products. People may also choose a plant-based diet for environmental and ethical reasons. For health-related benefits, a plant-based diet can be particularly advantageous for individuals diagnosed with or at risk of developing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and certain inflammatory conditions. Since many chronic diseases are related to obesity, the weight management benefits of a plant-based diet are especially valuable. Additionally, a plant-based diet can help reduce cholesterol levels, improve blood pressure, and enhance insulin sensitivity.

How do I start a plant-based diet?
A plant-based diet can be started at any time and may even be a more accessible option for individuals not ready to completely eliminate animal-based products from their diet. Many people start a plant-based diet slowly, such as with substituting meat or dairy for alternative products just a few times a week; for instance, finding easy swaps—such as whole grains in place of white bread products and beans or tofu in lieu of meat products—can be a great way to start eating a more plant-based diet. In addition, working to plan more meals ahead of time and constructing plant-based grocery store lists may be beneficial to ensure that consuming a plant-based meal is an accessible option when first getting started.
