• Weight-Inclusive Nutrition 

      for Families

      with Registered Dietitian

      Maggie Perkins, MS, RD, LDN

    • You can improve nutrition without focusing on weight.

      In fact, you are more likely to make long-term changes to your health if the focus is not on weight.
      Weight-inclusive care acknowledges the science that says that trying to manipulate your weight is ineffective and potentially harmful, especially for children. While weight-inclusive nutrition doesn't focus on weight, it benefits health outcomes like increasing nutrient variety, improving health markers, boosting body image, and increasing quality of life. Most importantly, it is free of weight stigma.

      If you are tired of nutrition advice always having a weight focus and you are ready to feel confident about nutrition while respecting your body and enjoying food, you are in the right place.

    • Hey, I'm Maggie

      I am a registered dietitian that provides nutrition counseling and education to adults and children in North Carolina.

       

      I use intuitive eating to assist clients with ending the diet cycle, reducing food guilt, improving nutrient variety, and managing high cholesterol and/or blood pressure. I work with families to make mealtimes more enjoyable with a specialization in picky eating and baby-led weaning. I am here to work with you on any questions about child feeding.

       

      I love working with families to dismantle diet culture so that the next generation knows their bodies are good and food is a necessary and enjoyable part of self-care. It is a honor to have the opportunity to work with you and your family to find food freedom.
