Many struggle in this way, but you don’t have to stay stuck. You can heal your relationship with food and your body. Let me show you how!

Nutrition for Mental Health
Have anxiety, depression, or ADHD? Nutrition can be one of the pieces that helps your mental health. Many approaches to nutrition actually worsen mental health. Let’s change that narrative to help you feel both mentally and physically better.

Do these sound familiar?
Fear and confusion about food.
Tried every. single. diet.
Feel your body has betrayed you.
Ruminate constantly on your weight.
Constantly think about food.
Have dreams you ate something forbidden.
Experience rapid weight cycling up and down.
Skip meals or exercise to earn your food or atone for foods eaten.
Weighing yourself can make or break your day.
Eat all your forbidden foods if you have one tiny slip up, then feel terrible about yourself.
Life on the Other Side
Picture this: There is a big event coming up. You are not sure what food will be served. You will be mingling with many people you already know, but will also be making new friends…and you are at peace with your body and not at all worried about what food will be served.
Healing your relationship with food and your body frees you up to actually enjoy, well, life! You get all that brain space back that has been devoted to calorie counting and obsessing over the scale. You get your brain back from all that berating yourself for your shortcomings.
You can now trust your body and the signals you get from it. Where once your body was the enemy, it has now become your ally and the vehicle that allows you to experience a full and vibrant life.
Do you have bad days? Sure. Everyone does. Yet, you now know what you need to pull yourself out of those days. Instead of being pulled this way and that by every new fad diet, you are able to trust your gut and choose what is right for you.
All foods fit in your diet. You enjoy and find satisfaction in a variety of all kinds of foods without fear or guilt. You know you will stop when you have had enough. No more loss of control.
This is life on the other side. Let me show you how to get to this side.

Melanee Dahl, MS, CNS, LDN, CD
Hi! I am a board-certified functional Clinical Nutrition Specialist (The highest nutrition certification available in the USA); Licensed Dietician Nutritionist (in Maryland); Certified Dietician (in Utah); and Intuitive Eating Counselor; a trauma informed Yoga Instructor; and the owner of IFxNutrition.
I also live in a large body – which many of my clients find comforting and feel it helps me better relate to them and their struggles. We have been taught that our bodies are the enemy, but I believe our bodies are working very hard to keep us alive and we can ally with them to create a more vibrant life.
