Healing Your Relationship with Food by Challenging the Narratives of Diet Culture
In the United States alone, billions of dollars are spent each year on diet and diet culture advertising. Supplemented by constant bombardments of food advertising, it comes as no surprise that many people have skewed relationships and perceptions of nutrition and how it functions in daily life. Furthermore, attitudes regarding food are often established in an individual’s formative years when parents and guardians may unintentionally reinforce harmful narratives about food. Thus, from a young age, many people grow up labelling food as either “good” or “bad”. This sort of categorization is dangerous in itself, and something I aim to avoid entirely at Live Nourished Today.
Unfortunately, dieting that is restrictive and extreme in nature is usually hailed as a plausible solution for people looking to quickly change or alter their physical appearance. However, not only does research show that crash diets are largely ineffective, but they also fail to address any underlying issues that may contribute to the individual’s difficult relationship with food. As a result, my practice exists to help those I serve achieve continuous peace and satisfaction regarding their daily intake and interactions with food. Rather than focus on vanity and appearance, I focus on helping clients cultivate their sense of holistic wellness.
What Clients Are Saying
"I highly recommend Merisa as she is very helpful and knowledgeable in her craft. The food she suggests is either personally tried by her or clients of her's. She is understanding how the real world affects our choices and teaches you how to improve your meal options while answering any questions you may have along the way."
"I've had the pleasure of working with Merisa for about 5 weeks now and I am very satisfied with the services and results so far. My biggest issues were my general relationship with food and how I viewed food. While it's still a work in progress, I have been able to to totally transform how I view food and how I eat through intuitive eating. I was so surprised when I heard I could eat chips on my meal plan! And as an added bonus I have been losing about a pound a week. Definitely recommend!
What To Expect
Our Direct yet Sensitive Approach.
At Live Nourished Today, we understand that many of our clients are currently navigating—or have previously faced—challenges in their relationship with food. These struggles often come with feelings of shame, frustration, or confusion, which is why we approach each person with compassion, patience, and honesty.
While food and body challenges can feel like a lifelong battle, that doesn’t mean peace, balance, and confidence aren’t possible. Feeling conflicted around food doesn’t have to be permanent—just like any meaningful relationship, your relationship with food may require ongoing care, reflection, and support to truly thrive. We deeply believe that healing is possible for everyone, which is why our approach is inclusive of those who are actively working through these struggles.
Our work begins by meeting you where you are. Together, we set small, attainable goals focused on rebuilding trust with your body and strengthening your inner sense of self-worth. We also equip clients with practical coping tools and strategies that help prevent the return of harmful patterns or habits.
Improving your eating habits is rarely a straight line—and we honor that. Our approach centers on building momentum through small wins, not perfection. As individuals with lived experience around disordered eating, we understand how intimidating it can be to take the first step. That’s why we offer a direct, yet deeply supportive space where you can explore the root of your challenges and move forward with personalized, judgment-free guidance at every stage of your journey.
All Food Fits, Intuitive Eating, and a Focus on Overall Wellbeing
We believe that personalized care is the best way to approach any nutrition program as each of us varies so drastically in terms of what we need to succeed. Nevertheless, there are certain approaches that we believe are particularly effective in procuring long-term results and contentment. Our practice utilizes the following techniques:
What you do matters
Our diet-crazed society relies on the labeling of foods as either “good” or “bad”. All food fits merely suggests that all food can be incorporated into a healthy diet where mindfulness and moderation are present.
Intuitive Eating
Intuitive eating teaches clients to identify their personal hunger cues. In the process, intuitive eating teaches clients to be mindful of the messages their body sends and helps them develop trust in their own intuition.
Self-Care
Everyone’s need and capacity for self-care varies based on numerous factors. As a part of our work together, we will develop a game plan that ensures your body is receiving the proper attention it needs to maintain base homeostasis.
Who Can Utilize Our Services?
We believe that everyone deserves access to quality nutrition support—because disordered eating can affect individuals from all walks of life. Our practice supports a wide range of clients, from chronic dieters and those navigating disordered eating patterns such as bingeing or restriction, to individuals simply seeking guidance on how to nourish their bodies more effectively and sustainably.
Our pricing is flexible and based on either individual sessions or package options. We also offer a sliding scale for clients who may need financial support. When appropriate, we’re happy to provide referrals to additional or alternative therapy resources to ensure you’re getting the most comprehensive care possible.
We offer nutrition counseling and education for individuals ages 8 and up, and we’re also experienced in working with couples, relationships, and family units.
Have questions? That’s what we’re here for. We're always happy to chat and answer your questions—free of charge. We believe the first step toward healing is connecting with the right provider. Whether your journey continues with Live Nourished or takes you in a different direction, we’re here to support you in finding the path that’s right for you
