We are committed to helping you improve the quality of your life through healthy and balanced eating. We call this the non-diet approach – “Smart eating through informed choices.” This is contrary to the traditional restrictive diet approach, which often eliminates essential nutrients and triggers disordered eating.

Traditional diets of deprivation often lead to a cyclic effect, producing a 95% failure rate in those that initially lost weight. These types of diets simply do not work in the long run. Long-term success depends on slowly modifying your lifestyle; learning which foods your body needs and why, trusting your body’s intuition, finding balance in eating, not perfection, and remembering… eating should be enjoyable, even exciting!

Eating Experts provides counseling and guidance for successfully maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Services include: Eating Disorders, weight concerns, individual and family wellness, nutrition education for alcohol/drug rehab, pre-natal/child nutrition, cooking lessons and more…
