Intuitive Nutrition

From years of sitting with people in the murky middle of change and developing an almost instinctive sense for what a specific person needs in a specific session.

No dataset is large enough to replicate it.

And here's what I want newer RDs to hear clearly: the anxiety about AI is understandable, but it's pointed in the wrong direction.

The dietitians who will struggle in an AI-adjacent landscape are the ones who have been providing what AI can provide — information, meal plans, generic guidance — without building the relational depth that AI cannot touch.

The ones who will thrive are the ones who know exactly what they offer that no tool can match. And who build their practice around that from the beginning.

That capacity — to stay present, to hold complexity, to be a Navigator instead of a Fixer — is exactly what I'm opening a room to work on this July.

The Simple Session Frameworks were built for exactly that gap. Not a script to follow. Not a protocol that turns every session into a checklist. Just a grounded structure that lets you stop managing the architecture of the hour and start being present with the person in front of you.

It's free. If you're a newer RD who finds yourself reinventing the wheel every session, it might be worth having. The link is in my bio.

“Can you just give me a meal plan?”

It’s one of the most loaded sentences in weight-inclusive practice. And most of us were never actually taught how to handle it.

The reframe isn’t a new script. It’s a shift from reacting to the request to getting curious about what’s underneath it.

What does “meal plan” mean to this specific person? What problem are they trying to solve? What would structure feel like, support rather than a rule?

I wrote the full blog (link in bio), including what to try instead and a note for the clinician who’s still carrying a hard session from last week.
