We support families in feeling knowledgeable about taking care of themselves and their kids. Our staff will answer questions and clear up nutrition misinformation. Our belief is that families are the experts on their own lives, and we are here to support them.
Health at Every Size (HAES)
HAES is a shift to focus on health behaviors and not weight.
- Weight is not a behavior.
- Weight = genetics, socioeconomic status, and life experiences.
- Weight ≠ health.
Intuitive Eating
Trusting our bodies’ innate wisdom to decide how much to eat, what to eat.
- Eating a variety, flexible eating.
- Respecting cultural foods.
- Using the “add in approach” if nutrients are missing.
- Food is a very enjoyable part of life.
