Diet Mindset Professional Training

Diet mindset professional training was not available when I started my transition to a non-diet approach to nutrition and health as a clinical nutritionist; I had to figure it out on my own. Piece it all together…

So, I went into private practice and model what I had learnt. Spending hours creating a complex protocol. Very quickly, I realized that wasn't going to work… clients were overwhelmed and scared of the complexity of what they would have to do. So, I went to what I was taught: trying to convince them with studies, facts, and data as to why restricting this and that food was essential to their health. That didn't work either.

I shared the professional transition that my client Carolyn triggered in First Do No Harm: The Intuitive Eating Mentorship Journey. I argued that the current model of practice for a nutrition professional top-down approach is causing more harm to a particular segment of our clients. The female yo-yo dieter…which is, unfortunately, the vast majority of our client population.

The solution: The bottom-up approach. Start first with addressing the diet mindset so you can talk about nutrition and health later in the journey.
