WHAT IS CONSIDERED “NORMAL EATING?” HOW DO I KNOW WHEN IT BECOMES DYSFUNCTIONAL?  >>> GET YOUR FREE DOWNLOAD

Feel good, not guilty about food.

Has dieting strained your relationship with food?

A healthy food relationship begins at home

Children model behavior, especially eating behaviors. As concerned parents, we strive to keep our children healthy. In today’s culture, so many foods have been labeled as “good” or “bad,” and it often leaves us not knowing how to approach an eating pattern with our kids.

Parents don’t often view themselves as role models, yet nearly 70% of children ages 12 and under say they are likely to talk with their mom or dad about nutrition and body size, but parents aren’t always armed with credible nutrition advice in the land of “diet culture.”

If an exhausted mom or dad sits in front of the television with a full bag of chips, it’s likely the child will too. If mom or dad don’t lead an active lifestyle, the child will likely not either.

The same can be said for dieting influences. When parents cut out entire food groups, go on restrictive diets, comment about losing weight frequently, and have a poor body image, kids pick up on that too.

    The messages children receive

    We know that as a parent, you don’t have all the answers, and like many, you may struggle with healthy habits yourself.

    Exploring your own eating and exercise habits is valuable in teaching your child to lead a healthy lifestyle.

    Ask yourself these questions:

    • How do you value movement and exercise?
    • What food rules do you have that you may be inadvertently communicating?
    • Are you constantly on diets or following the next fad?
    • Do you make negative comments about your body in front of them?
    • As the grocery shopper, what environment are you creating for everyone in the household?
    • Do you have your own health goals but allow your kids a different set of “rules?”
    • Do you eat mindfully or constantly on the go?

    Work as a family to form healthy habits. Let me show you how.

    The power of the parent.

    Because parents are on the front lines of shaping children’s eating behaviors, understanding your eating habits is especially advantageous to developing your child’s behavior.

    In an environment where cheap, processed food is readily available, making extra time for healthy family meals can be time-consuming.

    The confusion surrounding a healthy diet makes it even more challenging for parents.

    At Palm Beach RD, we take a parent-first approach as you are the key influence of your child’s diet quality. That begins with your meal patterns. Then, we ensure you have the tools to provide your child with essential nutrients like protein, fiber, iron, and calcium that your child needs to grow and be healthy.

    Your dietitian will create a plan with you to boost the nutrition of the foods you are eating and introduce new ones.

          I Suffered From Nutrition Confusion That Lead to No Action.

          “This process has been SO worth it. Nicole is incredibly smart, explains complex concepts in a clear manner that is easy to understand, is very responsive to inquiry, and helps you achieve results! I have more energy, lean muscle mass and feel less sluggish!"

          From Macros to Meaning

          Tired of tracking boring foods.

          Healing a Relationship with Food

          Preoccupation with food and body image

          “I never felt present. My mind was preoccupied with food and exercise or with feeling bad about myself and my (imagined!) inadequacies. That is gone now! I enjoy my life and my family. I create different meals...healthy meals we all eat. I don't binge but I do enjoy treats. I enjoy my exercise. I enjoy my family and my life.”

          - Tessa N., New Mom Struggling with Bodyweight

          Short-Cuts that Fell Short

          I didn't realize the way I was eating was actually working against me.

          “Anyone who thinks they have an addictive personality to food needs to examine their relationship with food and their body first. You helped me understand the science behind my behaviors and gave me clarity."

          - Debbie B., Traveling Nurse

          hi there!

          I’m Nicole

          I am a Registered Dietitian and Personal Trainer

          I’m also a wife and a mom who knows how hard it is to feel like you are doing right by your kids when it comes to nutrition. There is so much pressure and guilt for parents to feel they are getting it “right.”

          I also suffer from a gastrointestinal disorder and I’ve had my fair share of bloating, shame, and pain. In an effort to try and manage my gut health, I tried too many dieting strategies that simply didn’t work.

          I’m a former collegiate athlete and motorcycle racer who knows firsthand what it feels like when food, excessive exercise, and your body work against you. Now, I bring the clarity I have found to others experiencing health challenges.
