By learning about intuitive eating, weight stigma, and health at every size, you can:
*Learn to make peace with food
*Improve your body image
*Nourish your body adequately in order to support good health

About Me
Brandy Minks, MS, RDN, CD, CNSC
Author and Founder
Welcome!
I’m Brandy, a registered dietitian, Health at Every Size practitioner, and author of The Anti-Diet Workbook.
If you are searching for a way to take care of your health but aren’t quite sure how, I’ve got you covered! I provide nutrition counseling that will get you there.
I have been a dietitian since 2016. Unfortunately, I did a lot of harm in the early part of my career – especially when counseling in a weight loss clinic and even working with people wanting bariatric surgery.
Working in this setting did show me one thing (which I can also confirm from personal experience):
DIETS DON’T WORK for weight loss! In fact, research shows that over 95% of intentional weight loss attempts fail.
That is why I practice Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) through an Intuitive Eating and Health At Every Size lens. I make evidenced-based recommendations to support a wide range of diseases without telling you to lose weight.
Weight-inclusive counseling means I do not judge your health based on your weight or BMI. I truly believe that a person can be healthy at any body size.
I treat every patient with the respect and acknowledge that you are the expert on your body!
In our sessions together, I teach you the basic principles of intuitive eating and help you reject diet culture so that you can make behavior changes that help you reach your best health.
I help you dig down to the root of your health problems, show you gentle nutrition and movement practices, and celebrate your success!
