Our answer when asked if AI is going to replace our jobs ➡️ “no, not really”
Sure AI can do some killer meals plans and pop out a grocery plan and recipes following specific macros and diets but can it connect with people & really understand the psychology of how and what we are choosing to eat?
Nutrition counseling is SO MUCH more than helping people meal plan. It’s getting to the root of their relationship with food. And that’s when real change happens 💛

Meet Ashley!
Ashley is a registered dietitian and lactation counselor who helps parents nourish themselves and their little ones with confidence — no guilt, no extremes, just support that fits real life.
From pregnancy through postpartum and beyond, Ashley works with families navigating:
👶 Low milk supply or feeding challenges
🥣 Infant food sensitivities and tummy troubles
💤 Fatigue and postpartum recovery
💪 Transitioning back to work or starting solids
💗 Finding balance with nutrition, milk supply, and mental health
Ashley combines her expertise in both lactation and nutrition to create plans that truly support the whole family — because feeding your baby shouldn’t mean forgetting yourself.
✨ Most insurance plans cover nutrition visits at $0 out-of-pocket under preventative care (no referral or diagnosis needed!).
We’re so excited to have Ashley on The Tasty Balance team supporting moms, babies, and families every step of the way. 💕

Eating disorders are serious medical and psychological conditions — and they don’t always ‘look’ a certain way. Signs can be emotional, behavioral, or physical.
Some common clinical signs include fatigue, dizziness, irregular digestion, missed periods, or changes in hair and skin. Behavioral signs may look like food preoccupation, guilt after eating, or avoiding meals.
💛 If any of these feel familiar, reaching out for help is a sign of strength. Our team of dietitians offers compassionate, inclusive support — because you deserve peace with food and your body.

Good food, good energy, & more time for YOU.
A little wisdom from a No BS Dietitian: your meals don’t have to be fancy or picture-perfect to be balanced, satisfying, and doable on a workday! Simple nutrition frees up space for family, friends, and moving your body in ways that feel good.
Go out there and have an awesome week, y’all! ✨

My name is Ariel Johnston and I am the owner of The Tasty Balance. The main force and reason why I created The Tasty Balance Dietitian is a deep desire to help individuals achieve their long-term diet and nutrition goals. Whether you’re seeking help with sports nutrition or disease prevention, each client is individually evaluated and provided with a well-researched and comprehensive plan they can follow for the rest of their lives.
My belief is everything in moderation, and of course, that includes chocolate and wine! When I thought of a name that conveyed my food philosophy, 'tasty balance' was perfect. There is room in your life for all kinds of foods and what is most important is finding a balance that includes what you love and allows you to live life without feeling restricted.
I am ready to help you reach your dietary and lifestyle goals today and have a variety of packages that include:
-Cooking classes
-App support
-Option to video conference and more!
