🌍 World Health Day 2026
Together for health. Stand with science.

This year, we’re invited to recognize the essential role of science in our health,
but also to rebuild trust in evidence-based approaches.

Athletes are often taught to push harder, eat “cleaner,” and be more disciplined.

But science tells a different story.

Underfueling, rigid food rules, and ignoring your body don’t improve performance, they undermine it.

At our clinic, we support athletes in:
✨ fueling for performance and health
✨ healing their relationship with food
✨ understanding their body’s needs

Your body isn’t something to fight, it’s your greatest teammate 🫶

Did you know that up to 30% of people who have an eating disorder are also autistic?

Not all eating disorders are rooted in body image concerns.
For many neurodivergent individuals, food is closely connected to sensory processing, predictability, and regulation. 🧠

What may be perceived as “picky eating” can reflect very real sensory sensitivities.
Textures, smells, and even small variations in food can feel overwhelming.

Similarly, relying on familiar or “safe” foods can be an important way to maintain consistency and reduce distress.

When these factors are overlooked, individuals may be misunderstood or supported with approaches that don’t fully meet their needs.

Understanding the role of sensory experiences and routine is essential to providing effective, individualized care. ✨

On this World Autism Awareness Day, we’re reminded that awareness also means nuance: taking the time to listen, adapt, and support each person in a way that fits their unique experience.💙

☀️ Do you have every intention of eating breakfast in the morning but struggle to find the time or get bogged down by feelings of anxiety or overwhelm?

We get it. For many individuals, challenges with morning meals are not simply related to appetite, but to patterns, routines, and underlying relationships with food.

Our Morning Meal Support Group, led by our dietitian Vanessa, provides a structured environment to support consistency with breakfast in a low-pressure setting.

You will be guided to:
• Establish more regular morning eating patterns
• Reduce avoidance around breakfast
• Build consistency through structured support

⚠️ This is a closed group with limited availability

📅 Start date: April 9th

Happy National Dietitian Day! Today, we celebrate our incredible team members behind the care 💛

To our team: thank you for the compassion, expertise, and heart you bring to every client, every session, and every day.

And to our community, thank you for trusting us!

🏊🏻‍♀️ Female athletes are often praised for discipline, control, and pushing limits.

But when discipline results in deprivation and rigidity, that’s not empowerment.

🏋️‍♀️ This International Women’s Day, we’re reframing the theme, Give To Gain, for women in sport.

When you give your body fuel, you gain power.
When you give yourself rest, you gain longevity.
When you give yourself support, you gain freedom.

❤ If you’re an athlete navigating food, body image, or performance pressure, know that you are worth so much more than your sport and performance.

Give yourself love, compassion and the option of seeking help if you need it.

💬 Let us know how you plan to Give to Gain this year in the comments below!

As an athlete or someone who is very active, you know that hydration and proper fueling are key.

The right product, at the right time, can contribute to:

✔️ Better endurance
✔️ Faster recovery
✔️ Fewer energy crashes mid-session
✔️ Improved strength output
✔️ Reduced injury risk
✔️ More consistent training weeks

👉 Swipe for some ideas of carbohydrates, electrolytes and combinations of both to use when training.

Confused about how much to use, when, and why?

Electrolytes vs carbs?
Gels vs chews vs drink mixes?
Before vs during vs after?
Low-intensity vs high-intensity days?
Training vs competition?

Your sport, sweat rate, training load, and performance goals all change the answer.

There is no one-size-fits-all fueling strategy.

If you want to:
🔥 Stop guessing
🔥 Avoid underfueling
🔥 Optimize recovery
🔥 Personalize your hydration plan
🔥 Learn exact quantities for your body and your sport

Book an appointment with one of our dietitians specialized in sports nutrition.

We’ll help you determine:
• What to take
• How much to take
• When to take it (before, during, after)
• And what actually fits your training and performance goals

NEDA's Eating Disorders Awareness Week is here.

🏊 This year’s theme is Every BODY Belongs.

🇺🇸 Did you know that eating disorders affect 30 million Americans across all ages, sizes, races, genders, and backgrounds?

Athletes are not exempt.

Research estimates that up to 45% of female athletes and 19% of male athletes experience eating disorder symptoms, with even higher rates in aesthetic, weight-class, and endurance sports.

Yet many athletes go unseen.

Why?

Because the very traits that are celebrated in sport: discipline, high standards and relentless drive can mask struggle.

🚧 Perfectionism, in particular, is one of the strongest personality risk factors for eating disorders.

Athletes often believe:
“My body belongs only if it performs.”
“My body belongs only if it looks a certain way.”

This , we challenge that narrative.

Belonging isn’t earned through leanness.
Belonging isn’t dependent on podiums.
Belonging isn’t conditional.

❤ Every body belongs. In sport, in recovery, in care.

🥗 Orthorexia doesn’t usually start with a restriction goal.

In sport culture, extreme discipline and “clean eating” are often praised. This often results in rigid food rules, increased anxiety and less flexibility. The meaning of "health" becomes blurry.

🍎 Orthorexia is an obsession with eating “pure” or “perfect” foods. Over time, it can contribute to under-fueling, compulsive movement, and the development of eating disorders, especially in high-performance environments.

If this feels familiar, the culture around you may be reinforcing rigidity.

If you’re an athlete navigating the line between commitment and compulsion, you may benefit from working with a professional on our team.
