We’re so excited to introduce Jane Pfeufer, MS, RD, LDN, the newest addition to our team. 💛

Jane is a HAES-aligned dietitian with a passion for helping people build a more balanced relationship with food, movement, and their bodies. She brings a thoughtful, non-diet approach to nutrition care and has a special interest in supporting athletes, including those navigating concerns like Low Energy Availability and RED-S.

Her background includes a Master of Science in Nutrition and Human Performance from Merrimack College, along with training in Division I athletics, eating disorder care in athletes, and medical nutrition therapy for complex health concerns.

Go with your natural desire to get enough to eat of satisfying food, rather than trying to fight against it.

A gentle reminder as the holidays approach:
- You do not need to “earn” holiday food.
- You do not need to compensate for it later.
- And you do not need to enjoy every single part of it.

The holidays can be meaningful and complicated at the same time.

Both things are allowed to exist.

Not the summer I turned pretty. The summer I turned free. 🥹🫶

Summer can bring joy and pressure.
If food stress or body image thoughts are showing up, you’re not alone.

At CV Wellbeing, we’re reminding clients:
- Your appetite may shift this season, and that’s okay.
- Rest is valuable, not lazy.
- You don’t need to change your body to enjoy summer.

Read our summer reflections here:

Summer can bring longer days, more social events, and sometimes more pressure around food and body image. If that feels familiar, you are not alone. This season often stirs up old beliefs about how we should look or eat, and it can feel overwhelming to navigate.

07/08/2025

You don’t have to push through pain to prove your worth.
Movement can be a way to connect with your body, not punish it.
If you’ve been told rest is lazy or that food has to be earned, you’re not alone.
You deserve a relationship with movement that feels respectful, not rigid.
🔔 Follow for more support that puts your wellbeing first.

Your relationship with food is one of the most constant relationships you’ll ever have. It deserves care, compassion, and room to grow. 💛

At CV Wellbeing, we believe your relationship with food should be rooted in trust, not fear, shame, or perfection. It’s a relationship worth tending to with care.
This is one of our guiding values.

Ever feel like eating is harder than it should be? You’re not imagining it, and it might have something to do with your vagus nerve.

This nerve connects your brain to your gut, and when it’s out of sync, digestion, appetite, and even mealtimes can feel overwhelming or disconnected.

Our latest blog unpacks how the vagus nerve affects eating and what that means for your body, stress, and relationship with food.
