Our Nutrition Philosophy:

Eating for Well-being: A Mindful Approach

Dianna Schalles, MS, RDN, LD, is a licensed ‘Am I Hungry’^® mindful eating facilitator and is passionate about helping students heal their relationship with food. She promotes a Health at Every Size, weight inclusive approach and will partner with you to find sustainable, positive solutions…..paving the path to a lifetime of well-being rather than dieting and deprivation.

Health at Every Size^® Principles:

Accepting and respecting the diversity of body shapes and sizes
Recognizing that health and well-being are multi-dimensional and that they include physical, social, spiritual, occupational, emotional, and intellectual aspects
Promoting all aspects of health and well-being for people of all sizes
Promoting eating in a manner which balances individual nutritional needs, hunger, satiety, appetite, and pleasure
Promoting individually appropriate, enjoyable, life-enhancing physical activity, rather than exercise that is focused on a goal of weight loss
