Disordered Eating Behaviors and Eating Disorders
If you or a loved one is struggling with food acceptance, disturbances in eating behavior, or excessive concern about body image or weight, you are not alone. Eating disorders are a complex product of biologic, cultural, and psychosocial factors and may affect up to 65% of American women. At Mindful Nutrition Counseling we work with individuals who have been diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and disordered eating, NOS. We teach you the skill of mastering internally regulated, hunger-driven eating to help you normalize your eating behavior. If you are obsessing about your weight, eating or exercise behaviors, contact Mindful Nutrition Counseling so we can help you get back on the road to recovery and good health.

Nutrition and Premenstrual Syndrome
For many women, changes in diet, along with regular exercise, can reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). The goal of nutrition management of PMS is to ease symptoms; to normalize hormones; and to regulate blood sugar in order to maintain energy levels during the last 14 days of the menstrual cycle. Our dietitians with Mindful Nutrition Counseling can help you manage your symptoms of PMS by creating a customized meal plan that is rich in nutrients such as magnesium, the B vitamins, and other nutrients that play key roles in hormone and appetite regulation.

Nutrition during Perimenopause & Menopause
Women who have healthful diets, are physically active, and have good coping skills fare better than those who do not during this period of transition. It is important to eat a diet low in saturated fat that contains plenty of legumes, fish, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. If you are past the age of 50, you need 1200 mg a day of calcium and 400 IU of vitamin D; nutrients that will keep your bones strong. Limit caffeine and alcohol, and exercise regularly which will help you sleep and lower your stress hormones. Perimenopause and menopause are a natural part of growing older. The first step is to have a healthy lifestyle to reduce symptoms and lower your risk of heart disease and associated health issues. If you are perimenopausal or close to menopause and have nutrition concerns, contact our dietitians with Mindful Nutrition Counseling who can help.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Numerous studies have demonstrated that weight loss and modifications to eating behavior and lifestyle can greatly assist in normalizing insulin and androgen levels, possibly inducing ovulation. A proactive approach to health that includes good nutrition, physical activity, and stress management can make the difference in your ability to conceive and support a successful pregnancy. At Mindful Nutrition Counseling, we’d like to understand your unique health concerns. Your goals for your personal wellness are our goals too!
