How Sliding Scale Nutrition Began

Have you ever been prescribed or recommended a diet that was entirely different from the foods you normally eat?

Well, I have and as soon as I got home from my doctor's appointment I fell apart. I realized the enormity of the task at hand and just how challenging it was going to be to avoid eating most of my favorite foods.

I felt really let down by my doctor who told me to try this new diet but didn't give me any of the tools I would need to implement the diet successfully. I felt like the support I hoped to have from my doctor was no where to be found and even though I have my degree in nutrition, I still wished there was someone I could call who would help me manage the upcoming difficult logistics and emotions I knew would accompany this new diet.

However, I couldn't think of anyone I could call who would offer this specific type of support. And I knew that even if I could find a nutrition professional who would offer this kind of service I probably couldn't afford an out of pocket consult with them.   

So began the idea for Sliding Scale Nutrition (SSN). After I made it through this big diet change it occurred to me that I possess the skills to provide this kind of nutrition support. As a trained nutrition professional I am knowledgeable, patient, kind and empathetic. 

This combination of skills and my desire to make my services available to anyone who is interested in them regardless of their income are what comprise Sliding Scale Nutrition. 

Thus, I offer my services to help you incorporate your new and difficult diet into your already busy and challenging life!!
