Ascend’s dietitian’s endeavor to:

  • Target the “application” of nutrition related knowledge

  • Help you build a more positive and comfortable “relationship” with food

  • Empower you to eat “your way” versus feeling locked into the next popular eating trend

  • Support comfortable pacing of any change

  • Avoid shame and blame

  • Encourage more food and eating flexibility and less rigidity

  • Cultivate unique food and dietary strategies that feel optimal for you

  • Assist a more sophisticated understanding of food and nutrition other than the sense
    of right or wrong and good or bad

  • Develop food plans that best fit your lifestyle

  • Revisit, review and re-write old assumptions about food and your body
