About Francesca
Hello! My name is Francesca and I have been a dietitian for 6 years. I became a dietitian because of my love for food and how we can use food as medicine. I do not believe in dieting, counting calories or restrictive eating. My motto is all foods fit, but some foods have to be in limited quantity or frequency. My goal is to help you create a healthy relationship with food and I want you to ENJOY what you're eating. Eating healthy and using food as medicine should not mean tasteless.
Approach to care
My counseling philosophy is all food fits! I am not here to put you on a "diet" or tell you you can "never" eat your favorite foods. What we will work on is creating healthy relationships with foods. We will work on listening to your bodies cues for fullness and hunger, becoming a intuitive eater. We will work on upgrading the quality of foods you're eating.
Your first session with Francesca
In your first session, you can expect a few questions for me to get your history and background. I want to hear about your nutrition goals and what motivates you. I will ask you for a diet recall, meaning I will want to know what you typical eat for your meals and snacks.
