My Personal Diet Struggle

Sherman by Rex 4

A while back I was recommended a diet by a Naturopathic Doctor that was very restrictive and quite different than what I was accustomed to. As soon as I got home from my appointment I fell apart. I realized the enormity of the task at hand and just how challenging it was going to be to avoid eating most of my favorite foods.

I felt really let down by my doctor who told me to try this new diet but didn’t give me any of the tools I would need to implement the diet successfully. I felt like the support I hoped to have from my doctor was nowhere to be found and even though I have my degree in nutrition, I still wished there was someone I could call who would help support me with the upcoming difficult logistics and emotions I was already facing with my new diet.

However, I couldn’t think of anyone I could call who would offer this specific type of support. And I knew that even if I could find a nutrition professional who would offer this kind of service I probably couldn’t afford an out of pocket consult with them.

So began the idea for Sliding Scale Nutrition (SSN). After I made it through this big diet change it occurred to me that I possess the skills to provide this kind of nutrition support. As a trained nutrition professional I am knowledgeable, patient, kind and empathetic. I have clinical experience counseling people on matters related to their nutrition and health. I have first-hand experience undergoing a drastic diet change, so I am personally familiar with the wide range of emotions that accompanies a new and restrictive diet. And I have a genuine interest in helping people feel empowered to make healthy and positive food choices.

This combination of skills and my desire to make my services available to anyone who is interested in them regardless of their income are what comprise Sliding Scale Nutrition.

Thus, I offer my services to help you incorporate your new and difficult diet into your already busy and challenging life!!
