Kara Lydon Nutrition: Intuitive Eating Dietitians

Kara Lydon Nutrition has changed my life and my outlook on food, my body, and dieting. I work with Jean, who is the most compassionate, well informed, adaptable, and kind practitioner, and her constant willingness to adapt our sessions to something that's helpful to me is one of the first times I've ever felt safe & understood by anyone in the medical, diet, or fitness field. Working with her has been an incredibly healing experience for me on multiple levels. When I first came to Kara Lydon, it was originally to lose weight. I started to learn about intuitive eating in my sessions with Jean, and I was able to begin to decipher and debunk the health and wellness conversations I've been steeped in as a 90's baby. Instead of being given a rigid and dismal meal plan where I turn my brain off and follow the rules, Jean worked with me to help me understand the basics of nutrition, and how to understand my body so I could start making informed decisions for myself. Through our work, I discovered that I actually have chronic gastro issues that had never been picked up by a doctor before. As we worked through the intuitive eating framework, one difficulty I experienced was dealing with the freedom it gives you. I have ADHD, which makes consistency (and endless flexibility) difficult for me as a person, and through our work Jean consistently adapted the intuitive eating model until it worked for me, as someone who needs structure, but also wants to live in a place of food freedom. I could honestly talk for hours to anyone about my experience there, but I want to say that if you are looking for people who genuinely care, who will help you make sense of the health fads and crazes, and help you find a more integrated, mediated relationship with your own body, then Kara Lydon Nutrition is the place to be.
