Healthy You Nutrition provides eating-disorder–informed nutrition support for adults and kids/teens through telehealth, with practical tools for steady nourishment and a more peaceful relationship with food.
What is normal eating?
Normal eating is flexible, permission-based, and trust-based. It means you can eat when you are hungry, stop when you are satisfied, and choose foods you enjoy while still including nourishing choices.
​
Normal eating also includes natural variation: some days you eat more, some days less, and you can adapt to your schedule, emotions, and what food is available.
​
Curiosity.... (not judgement)
What do I want?
What would satisfy me?
What will help me feel well?
​
Being able to be mindful and pay attention to hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and comfort.
In short: normal eating is fluid, not perfect.
​
What is disordered eating?
Disordered eating happens when food choices become rigid, fear-based, and rule-driven, and eating starts to feel like a test you can pass or fail.
Common signs include:
-
frequent restriction or dieting
-
skipping or delaying meals to “make up” for eating
-
labeling foods as “good” or “bad,”
-
guilt or anxiety after eating
-
feeling out of control around certain foods.
Restriction often backfires:
-
it can increase preoccupation with food,
-
intensify cravings, and distort internal cues (hunger, fullness, satisfaction),
-
makes it harder to trust your body and eat enough consistently.
-
Disordered eating is often marked by less permission, less trust, and less flexibility.
​
Simple way to know the difference:
-
Normal eating: “I have permission. I can trust my body. I can be flexible.”
-
Disordered eating: “I have rules. I feel fear or guilt.
-
I have to control or compensate.
Need help?
Healthy You Nutrition helps you build a more flexible, trust-based relationship with food. Sessions focus on steady eating patterns, stronger internal regulation (hunger, fullness, satisfaction), and stepping away from restrictive rules that can disrupt appetite cues and increase food stress.
Support can include:
-
Eating behavior counseling (food guilt, all-or-nothing thinking, compensatory patterns)
-
Permission-based nutrition support to reduce restriction and build flexibility
-
Hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and comfort awareness while eating
-
Expanding food acceptance and variety in a steady, supportive way
-
Strengthening eating attitudes for a more neutral, confident mindset
-
Contextual skills for real-life eating (busy days, travel, stress, social events)
-
Mindful, curious decision-making around what, when, and how much to eat
Normal eating is not perfection. It is flexible and adapts day to day.
