Our Guiding Principles
You are the ultimate decider of your goals for our work together, but these guiding principles inform the approach of Pepper & Poppy Nutrition Counseling:
- Nutrients & Nutritional Adequacy - Meeting your body's nutritional needs lays the essential foundation needed for your well-being.
- Health Promoting Nutrition-related Behaviors - "How" you eat can matter just as much as what you eat. Together we build skills and establish rhythms to support your biology and create ease in your life.
- Body Attunement - Learn to listen to, interpret, trust, and respond to your body's cues to develop a lifelong alliance with your body.
- Weight Neutrality - Prioritizing "weight control" may interfere with your efforts towards these other principles and muddy your relationship with food and movement. Instead, we work towards the above principles while expanding your understanding of health and healing body image.
