This is the kind of feedback that stays with us 🤍

When a client shares that they leave sessions feeling more equipped and encouraged, it tells us something important.
Healing is not happening through pressure. It is happening through support.

Recovery is rarely loud or dramatic. Often, it is built quietly through months of showing up, being listened to, and having someone walk alongside you when food feels heavy and confusing. It is the steady encouragement. The space to process. The reminder that you are not doing this wrong.

At Maddox Nutrition, we believe healing happens when someone feels heard, supported, and safe enough to keep going.

✨ We encourage without rushing
✨ We listen without judgment
✨ We offer guidance that meets you where you are
✨ We walk with you through the long middle of recovery

This work is a gift we do not take lightly. Each session, each conversation, each step forward is a reminder that healing is possible—and that no one is meant to do this alone.

When you feel ready, you can visit our website to schedule a virtual one-on-one session with Maddox Nutrition. We are here to support recovery that does not feel rushed or punishing.

If dieting feels mentally exhausting, there is a reason for that.

Your brain uses about 20–25% of your body’s total energy every single day. When dieting/the ED adds constant food rules, tracking, restriction, or second-guessing, that same energy gets pulled toward managing food instead of supporting focus, mood, and memory. This is not a lack of discipline. It is your brain working overtime.

Over time, this can show up as mental fatigue, brain fog, irritability, or anxiety around food.
Many people live with this level of stress without realizing how much it is costing them.
Food noise is not harmless... it takes up real mental energy!

At Maddox Nutrition, we support clients through a non-diet, weight-neutral, intuitive eating approach that helps restore mental space around food.
We accept insurance and are in-network with Aetna, Cigna, UMR/UnitedHealthcare, and Anthem/BlueCross BlueShield. We also provide superbills for those using out-of-network benefits or self-pay options.

This is why we do what we do ✨

Every time I read words like this from a client, I pause. I breathe it in. And I silently thank God for entrusting me with this work. Because this isn’t just about food or body image, it’s about someone’s story being rewritten with hope, grace, and truth.

Walking with people through recovery is an honor I don’t take lightly. And as dietitians, we get to witness the quiet victories like the meals enjoyed without guilt, the moments of peace where fear used to live, the tears that turn into prayers of gratitude.

At Maddox Nutrition, we don’t just hand out nutrition advice. We walk alongside you.

✨ We hold space for your story.
✨ We bring faith into the conversation when you want it.
✨ We remind you of your worth. Not because of what you eat or how you look, but because of who you are.

This kind of message isn’t “just feedback” to us. It’s a glimpse of God’s faithfulness in real time. It’s a reminder that healing is possible and that freedom is not too far out of reach.

💬 If you’re ready to begin your own journey toward food freedom and body peace, drop a “ME!” in the comments or send a DM to check your insurance coverage. Many of our clients pay $0 out of pocket.

Good non-diet dietitians often say things that sound wrong because diet culture taught us the opposite.

Eating more.
Letting go of weight loss.
Stopping food rules.
Facing fear foods.
Not being “perfect” at recovery.

None of this feels comfortable at first.
But comfort is not what heals disordered eating.
Safety, consistency, and compassion do.

If this post felt relatable, confusing, or oddly relieving, you are not alone. Many people feel that way at the beginning of real healing.

If you are ready for support that does not revolve around weight, rules, or restriction this time of the year, 📩 reach out to Maddox Nutrition.
We are here to walk with you as you rebuild trust with food and your body one step at a time.

Imagine being Elijah - alone, exhausted, in the middle of a drought where food and water seem impossible to find. Yet God sends ravens to bring bread and meat every morning and evening. 🕊️🍞🥩

Can you believe it? When everything around you screams scarcity, God’s provision shows up not as punishment or restriction, but as steady, reliable nourishment.

This story isn’t just about Elijah’s survival. It’s a powerful reminder that nourishment isn’t about deprivation or control. It’s about trust.
If God fed Elijah in the middle of famine, then food isn’t something to fear or hoard. It’s something to receive.

No diet rules. No shame. Just trust, every day.

If you’re tired of dieting, fearing food, or feeling like you have to “earn” your meals, take heart. You are invited to trust the same provision God gave Elijah. 🌿

You are allowed to nourish your body fully and freely. 🙌

AMEN to that!

There’s freedom waiting on the other side of fear. When you’re ready to step into a relationship with food that is rooted in trust, not rules, Maddox Nutrition will be your steady companion.
If now feels like the right time, you can book a 1:1 session with us anytime. We’re ready when you are. 🤝❤️

Isaiah reminds us that God’s nourishment is freely given, with no conditions or catch. Just like Jesus fed people without asking them to be “ready” or “worthy,” His invitation to be fed is open to all of us, just as we are.

In a world that often ties food and worth to rules, control, and shame, this scripture calls us back to grace.
Food is a gift. Nourishment is a right. And healing is possible when we stop trying to earn it.

If you’re ready to step into a faith-filled, compassionate space where your relationship with food is met with truth, not judgment, Maddox Nutrition is here for you.

💙 Healing starts with permission to be human.

“Should” is that voice in your head narrating what’s right, wrong, or expected of you.

It’s the voice that says:
“You should eat less.”
“You should avoid that.”
“You should be hungry by now.”
“You should choose the ‘healthier’ option.”
“You should make up for this later.”

But here’s the truth: food isn’t a rulebook, it’s part of being alive.
It’s nourishment, comfort, culture, celebration, routine, genetics, hormones, preferences, cravings, energy needs, and yes… sometimes simply convenience.

“Should” turns eating into a performance.
It pulls your attention away from your body and attaches it to expectations... expectations that probably weren’t yours to begin with.

Food was meant to be lived with, not judged against.

Because your body doesn’t speak in “shoulds.”
It speaks in sensations: hunger, fullness, satisfaction, energy, fatigue, craving, curiosity.
It tells the truth long before the “should” voice ever tries to take over.

When you let go of “should,” you make space for:
✨ choice
✨ flexibility
✨ responsiveness
✨ connection
✨ enoughness

Eating becomes something you participate with — not something you try to get perfect.

✨ We’re now accepting new 1:1 virtual clients for nourishment counseling.
We accept insurance — and 90% of our clients are fully covered, paying $0 out of pocket. That could be you, too.

Let’s make peace with food together without the guilt, without the noise, and without the price barrier.

12/03/2025

Let’s be honest… most people think dietitians talk about vegetables all day.
Or hand out meal plans.
Or gently scold you for not drinking enough water.

But in the world of eating disorder recovery?
What we do looks very, very different.

Nutrition counseling isn’t “cute advice about nutrition.”
It’s sitting with people during the most raw, messy, complex parts of food and body struggles. The parts that rarely get spoken out loud.

It looks like helping someone who can’t bring themselves to eat breakfast because their heart rate spikes just looking at the plate.
It looks like gently undoing years of fear, shame, and white-knuckled control around food.
It looks like talking about digestion, p**p, textures, fullness signals, periods, and every TMI detail that actually matters when you’re trying to rebuild trust with your body.
It looks like reminding someone that they aren’t “too much” because their relationship with food feels complicated — it’s complicated for a reason.

And it looks like holding space when someone breaks down because they’ve never had a provider say,
“You’re safe here. You’re not alone in feeling this way. This is part of recovery.”

Nutrition counseling IS healthcare.
It’s nervous system work.
It’s trauma-informed care.
It’s medical nutrition therapy.
It’s body image healing.
It’s helping people reclaim their lives one stabilized meal at a time.

And the truth?
Most people never get the chance to experience this level of support because they’ve only ever seen the version of “nutrition” rooted in dieting, shrinking, and suppressing real emotions.

But that’s not what we do here.

At Maddox Nutrition, we don’t just talk about food.
We help you reconnect to hunger, fullness, and trust.
And when faith is part of your story, we can incorporate that too — gently, respectfully, and in a way that aligns with your walk with Christ.
