Finding Harmony: Nutrition Support for Your Health & Well-being
At Monadnock Nutrition Services, we believe that managing a health condition shouldn't come at the expense of your peace of mind or your relationship with food. We're here to offer a different kind of support—one that helps you navigate your medical needs with compassion, understanding, and a deep respect for your body. Our approach to nutrition is about helping you find harmony between what your body needs and what feels good to you, so you can truly thrive.
Compassionate Guidance for Your Unique Journey
We know that health concerns can be complex and deeply personal. We'll work alongside you to understand your unique health picture, not just the diagnosis. Our supportive approach is for those who are seeking a way to manage their condition while also healing their relationship with food and body. We are here to help you navigate:
-
Post-Bariatric Surgery: We'll help you rebuild a peaceful and sustainable relationship with eating after bariatric surgery.
-
Eating Concerns with Medical Needs: We offer a safe space to address disordered eating or body image struggles that may be linked to a medical diagnosis.
-
Chronic Health Conditions: We'll help you explore flexible, non-restrictive ways to support conditions like GI disorders, insulin resistance, and PCOS.
-
Orthorexia & Rigid Eating: We'll guide you away from rigid "clean eating" patterns toward a more joyful and trusting approach to food.
What to Expect: A Collaborative & Supportive Partnership
Your well-being is our top priority. Our sessions are a conversation, not a lecture. We'll start by listening to your story, understanding your experiences, and getting a clear picture of what's going on for you. Together, we'll create a personalized plan that supports both your medical needs and your emotional health. In our time together, we’ll:
-
Talk about your health condition in the context of your daily life and lived experience.
-
Find nutrition strategies that feel realistic, flexible, and truly sustainable for you.
-
Walk with you as you address any body image or eating struggles that come up.
-
Work with your existing healthcare team to make sure you have the best, most integrated support.
Our Approach: Beyond the Medical Label
We're here to help you move beyond the numbers and rigid rules. We don't focus on calories, carbs, or the scale. Instead, we use a trauma-informed, holistic approach to help you:
-
Manage symptoms in a way that doesn’t lead to fear or feelings of deprivation.
-
Rebuild trust in your body, especially after medical procedures or diagnoses.
-
Develop eating patterns that nourish your body and support a high quality of life.
