Zest Nutrition Consulting has been my dietetic private practice since 2007. I specialise in eating behaviour, emotional eating, disordered eating, eating disorder recovery, fussy eating and body image issues. I work through a trauma-informed, neuroaffirming, weight-neutral lens.
Outing myself as a non-diet, weight-inclusive dietitian has put me somewhat at odds with my profession and the majority of the health world. Listening to my clients' lived experience of life in larger bodies and becoming increasingly aware of weight stigma and conflicts of interest in weight-focused research and healthcare makes navigating life as an APD a tough road some days, but nowhere near as tough as the stories I hear. I truly believe weight-inclusive care is the ethical way to practice.
Since 2021, I have also been providing clinical supervision to dietitians who wish to work in this space.
Approach: Trauma-informed, neuroaffirming, weight-neutral, non-judgmental listener; self-described as 'passionate and compassionate', warm and welcoming, a good non-judgmental listener
Weight-inclusive, non-diet paradigm. Susan explicitly practices from a weight-neutral, Health At Every Size (HAES)-aligned perspective and has stated she is opposed to weight-focused care. She is not an appropriate provider for clients seeking weight loss-focused dietetic support.
