Crystal Franck RDN
​(she/her)

Supporting people on their journey of changing their relationship with food and their body is my favorite part of nutrition counseling. I believe that you are the expert of your body, so I enjoy working together in a collaborative partnership to create goals and plans of care that are in alignment with your values and lifestyle.

Nutrition can feel confusing. Many of us are taught messages about food, weight, health, and our bodies as far back as we can remember, and all of these “rules” can feel overwhelming. I work with my clients to sort through the noise and find ways to nourish their bodies that support their goals, in a way that makes sense for their lives. 

I believe nutrition care should be individualized, as health and nourishment looks different for everyone. My hope is that clients find our work together empowers them to feel confident in their food choices, helps them feel more attuned to their body's needs, and provides them with practical strategies that are supportive, realistic, and flexible.

As someone who lives in a larger body and has recovered from a long history of disordered eating, I understand you cannot judge health or nutrition status based on appearance, weight, or BMI, and that sometimes our healthiest weight is not what we've been led to believe it is. Therefore, my nutrition philosophy is weight neutral and fat positive. I practice from a weight inclusive perspective that centers around lived experiences, and am fully aligned with HAES. I love to help clients break up with the rigidity of dieting, to find freedom and flexibility with their eating, and to reclaim headspace back from intrusive thoughts about food and body. 

Whether you are wanting to explore stepping away from dieting to find an individualized eating style that works for you, or you need help managing a medical diagnosis with nutrition, I can help you. I strive for you to be able to trust yourself to keep fun foods in your house, while teaching you new ways to help keep your energy stable and fuel your awesome life! If you simply want more joy in your relationship with food and your body, I would be honored to support you.
