When I first met with a Nourish dietitian, I was expecting the same treatment as usual. Any specialist I had met told me to just not eat certain foods, have a structured meal plan, and my problems would go away. All the recommendations felt so generic, and I was incredibly tired of hearing that my only option was to eat only a few ‘clean’ foods for the rest of my life. Instead, my dietitian listened to my whole history and all the issues that I was experiencing, then worked together with me to develop our plan of attack. I was tired of having the same experience over and over again - I needed someone who would actually improve my life and found that here.

Since that first meeting, my dietitian has completely changed my view around food. I’ve been able to work with her to find out what food, patterns, and other factors influence my stomach pain.

Every dietitian I had used prior had just given me suggestions on what to change, with no real plan or guide for how to implement the changes. My Nourish dietitian is the first one who has actually helped guide me through a true lifestyle change, and has been supportive and by my side every step of the way. Now, I virtually never have stomach pain, and on top of that, I have a much healthier and well-rounded mindset towards food in general.

Before I started with Nourish, diabetes was seriously hurting my entire life. My A1C was much higher than I was hoping and it was creating stress and pain. I really did not feel like myself, so I was desperate to find a solution that worked for me. Luckily, I found Nourish online and was able to get the perfect dietitian that would work for my specific situation.

From day 1, Nourish helped turn my life around. Yes, my dietitian was incredibly knowledgable about type 2 diabetes, but more importantly, she also took a big interest in my whole life. She helped me better understand my own diagnosis and where that fit into my overall nutritional journey. We worked together to create a clear path forward that made sense for me. It was the first time in my life that I truly felt like I understood my diabetes, and it has had a lasting impact on my mental wellness.

I am so thankful that my dietitian was able to help me in such an impactful way. I’ve already seen my A1C drop 3 points, but perhaps most importantly, I am starting to finally like I am in control. Without Nourish, I know I’d still be feeling completely physically and emotionally drained. I have felt so much better mentally and physically since I started seeing a dietitian with Nourish.

The part of her care team that my daughter Becca always struggled with the most was her dietitian, because that was the one member who was forcing the most change. That’s why I was so thrilled when Becca actually came to me about a new RD that she had seen on instagram - I thought there may finally be an opportunity for Becca to connect with her dietitian.

Immediately, things were much easier at Nourish than our experiences elsewhere. Our dietitian was able to find a time that worked within Becca’s difficult schedule. With sports, school, friends, and all her other extracurriculars, it can often be hard to fit important appointments in, but with Nourish it was easy.

There was an immediate impact. She’s been feeling better, which I’ve had the opportunity to hear both from her and from her dietitian because Nourish involves the parents in their own sessions, too. Her improvement in health has led to her getting a lot of her confidence back, and I have finally been able to see her happy again. It feels like such a relief to watch my happy girl back with her friends.

My daughter Julia had been going to a psychiatrist to deal with her disordered eating, and the topic of getting a dietitian had come up. I was completely desperate to help her in any way I could, so I jumped at the opportunity and was connected with Nourish by her psychiatrist.

Immediately, the dietitian connected on a teenage-level with my daughter, which I think has been crucial for my daughter’s recovery. She was incredibly kind and really engaged with Julia, which I know can be difficult at times with teenagers. Our dietitian went above and beyond to 'meet Julia where she was at’ - going so far as to adjust appointment times to align with Julia's school schedule, and being flexible with any goals or strategies she set with Julia so that Julia could accomplish them while still getting to experience a ‘normal’ teenage life. I could finally start to see Julia turn a corner, and seeing the hope in her eyes finally return was incredible for me to watch.

I have appreciated how much I am kept in the loop by Julia's dietitian. We finally have someone helping both of us deal with the nutrition challenges that she is constantly facing. My daughter went from eating basically nothing to having 3 meals and 4 snacks a day consistently. So much of her pain is gone, and that is all thanks to our dietitian. I highly recommend anyone looking for a guiding and supportive figure in their child’s life get a Nourish dietitian.

My dietitian has been with me every step of the way the last year and a half as I have battled my eating disorder and countless other health issues that I have. Oftentimes, my doctor or other health care professionals will only focus on the problem that they are treating me for, but my dietitian has really considered everything about my health and life when determining the best path forward for my treatment.

Having an eating disorder can be really complicated, and sometimes other doctors do not understand exactly what I am going through. They’ll ask me questions or prescribe treatment plans that go completely against all the progress I’ve been able to make with my eating disorder. Every time I have had an issue, my dietitian has been there to speak with my doctors to ensure I am getting the best treatment across the board.

I finally feel like I have a champion who believes in me, and my dietitian believing in me has allowed me to believe in myself. The progress I’ve made in 18 months is more than I could have imagined, and I cannot wait to continue my journey with Nourish.

I have had a long battle with my eating disorder, with time spent with dietitians in both residential and outpatient care. I had felt like I was at a pretty good place in my recovery, but then during Covid everything took a turn for the worse. I was quickly slipping back into some of my bad habits. I was stuck in an overly structured recovery program and I needed to find a new approach that worked for me.

After reading up on Nourish, I realized that it was the perfect fit for me - it wasn’t just a one-size-fits-all approach. My dietitian was exactly what I needed to finally start to feel more confident in my ED recovery progress. She has been incredibly compassionate and supportive throughout our time together. She knows about my unique battle with ED, and takes into account my personal preferences in every meeting we have together. She also never judges me for anything I say or do and makes sure I view our sessions together as a safe and supportive space to open up.

I know not every day will be easy, but since starting with Nourish I’ve had more wins than I can ever remember having before. I feel confident that I’ve found the right match to always support me when I struggle, and ultimately help me overcome my battle with ED. I never imagined I would be in such a good place and am finally so excited to see where the future takes me!

Can a Nutritionist Help With Autoimmune Conditions?

Yes, working with a registered dietitian can help improve symptoms and quality of life in many autoimmune conditions. There are evidence-based nutrition recommendations for celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), type 1 diabetes, psoriasis, and thyroid disease, to name a few.

Autoimmune disorders occur when your immune system mistakenly targets healthy cells, causing damage to various organs and body systems, like your digestive tract, skin, or thyroid gland. Over time, this causes inflammation, resulting in symptoms like fatigue, digestive upset, weight changes, and joint pain. 

There is evidence that nutrition therapy can play a role in reducing inflammation in autoimmune conditions. When searching for a nutritionist, you’ll want to select a provider with the proper credentials. A registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) specializing in autoimmune disorders is ideal.

What is the Best Diet for Autoimmune Conditions?

There are different diets that may help manage symptoms of various autoimmune conditions.

For example, an eating pattern for celiac disease will focus on eliminating gluten. A diet for ulcerative colitis involves increasing or decreasing your fiber intake depending on whether or not you are in an active flare-up. A dietitian can tailor an eating plan based on your autoimmune condition, medical history, and dietary preferences.

The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP)

The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) is a popular elimination diet designed to target chronic inflammation in people with autoimmune conditions. It is a more restrictive version of the paleo diet, primarily made up of minimally processed lean animal proteins, vegetables, and fruit. The AIP diet is meant to be a short-term elimination, followed by a reintroduction phase to help identify individual triggers and liberalize the diet for the long term. 

Though the AIP diet is not for everyone, it can be effective for certain autoimmune conditions, including inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease). Since this is a restrictive diet with multiple stages, it’s best to work with a registered dietitian to ensure adequate nutrition throughout the process.

How Are Autoimmune Conditions Treated?

Autoimmune conditions are typically treated through a combination of medication and lifestyle changes, like dietary strategies or physical therapy. Though treatments can help improve symptoms and quality of life for many autoimmune diseases, there are no cures at this time. More research on the development and progression of these disorders is needed to better understand how to treat them. 

There are many dietary recommendations online that are not evidence-based for managing autoimmune conditions, and some can be harmful in the long term. Talk to a registered dietitian to help you identify safe and effective nutrition strategies.

Which Foods Can Aggravate Autoimmune Conditions?

Because each autoimmune disease affects your body differently, the foods that cause flare-ups vary across conditions. Talk to your doctor and dietitian about the best dietary strategies for you.

Some foods contain compounds that may lead to inflammation in certain individuals with autoimmune conditions. Examples of possible food triggers per the AIP diet include:

  • Grains.
  • Legumes.
  • Nightshade vegetables (like tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers).
  • Dairy.
  • Refined sugar.
  • Alcohol. 
  • Eggs.
  • Coffee.
  • Nuts and seeds. 
  • Oils. 
  • Food additives. 

In addition, a diet high in ultra-processed foods has been linked to chronic inflammation. This includes things like soda, potato chips, and fast food which are far from their natural form, containing high amounts of refined sugar, salt, and saturated fat. 

Most people with autoimmune diseases don’t need to eliminate every food from this list to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms. Working with a professional to identify your personal food triggers is important.
