About Chase Marie

Hi there! My name is Chase Marie Gigstad, and I can't wait to get to learn more about you! I want to share a bit about my journey. My passion for dietetics began to blossom when I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 11. This diagnosis allowed me to realize how impactful the foods we consume are to our wellbeing; from interacting with loved ones to being able to learn new ideas in school. I have believed from a young age, and still do to this day, that food is medicine, it is healing, and it is so much more than just nutrients going into our bodies. My hope from our work together is we can making eating easier for you, and get back to the basics with less second guessing. One could say I am a total foodie at heart! After I completed schooling to become a registered dietitian, I worked in an inpatient setting (aka the hospital) and then I switched gears and worked in a residential setting with those healing from eating disorders. Let's nourish to flourish!

Approach to care

My approach to your care will include intuitive eating which focuses on listening to your body's natural hunger and fullness cues, rather than following restrictive diets/rules to build a healthy relationship with food! Health at every-size/weight inclusivity, eating for well-being, and creating balance through all foods fit. We will not be putting food in "good or bad" boxes here! :)

Your first session with Chase Marie

In our first session, I will get to know you and meet you right where you're at in your nutrition journey, it will be relaxed so don't worry! Once I get a good idea of what your hopes are for your health, we can get started in making some nutrition goals to get you eating in a way that is in-line with those goals.
