Personal statement
There is so much information about nutrition and health that it can be overwhelming, especially when disordered eating is glorified by diet culture. Talia offers realistic and empathetic approach to nutrition. She supports her patients to move away from the black and white approach of dieting (food rules), into the grey, a balanced and flexible approach to nutrition. Although diet culture might be normalised in the world we live in, recovery from an eating disorder is 100% possible.
