You Deserve to Have Peace with Food and Your Body

You want to understand how to fuel your body, have more energy, and stop emotional eating, but the internet has made it so confusing you don't know how to do it.

Hi, I'm Paige Aberasturi

Before I was a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I did all of the diets, the tracking, and the counting. I understand feeling guilt and shame around food and body. (If I hadn't gone to school for nutrition, I would likely still be confused and feeling terrible.)

Diets, marketing and incorrect information messed up my relationship with food, and they do it to so many others. (It infuriates me that they have been doing this crap to us for decades.)

Good news is, there is a better way! Now I help other women escape that bologna, and experience having a good relationship with food and self. (Take that, diets and food rules.)

I'll teach you what I know from my years of education and experience, so you will be confident and equipped with what you need to be able to make the best choices for YOU.

Life is short. Let's make food easier and more enjoyable, so you can live your life without food taking up so much time and space.

We offer virtual dietitian services across the United States.(opens in new tab) This includes AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, KS, MD, MI, MO, NJ, NY, SC, TX and VA.

Philosophy

You deserve reliable and safe information about nutrition and health, not the nonsense from companies, marketing, and "influencers" that comes out of ignorance or the desire to make a buck, with little regard for your physical and emotional health.

Mission

To help you fuel your body (and yourself) in a sustainable, functional and healthful way, using nutrition information, as well as other areas such as self-care, hydration and movement, allowing you to feel your best, increase your confidence, and live a better life.

Values

Honesty

Transparency

Integrity

Curiosity

Sustainability

Empowerment

What Working Together Looks Like:

Two main components to working together:

Education (the what & why)

  • A combination of nutrition "education" and concepts, mixed with other areas such as self-care and movement, as they impact nutrition and vice versa

Application/Action (the how)

  • We take the "education" and apply it to you, your life, and where you are right now
  • Work together through roadblocks, barriers and challenges, and make it sustainable for you

What Clients Are Saying

"Paige truly met me where I was at (and asked what I needed) instead of having her own agenda. She interacted with me in a non-judgmental and encouraging way. 

She also worked with me to come up with achievable action steps. I appreciate that she involved me in the decision making process about those steps instead of just telling me what to do. I feel empowered!"

“Working with Paige has truly been life changing. She's really teamed up with me to dig into my background and lifestyle to investigate why I might default to certain habits and behaviors, and even after only a month or so, she's helped me recognize and implement changes that have already changed my relationship with food. I would highly recommend working with her!“

"It's no longer so chaotic when it comes to food. I'm learning to have more peace with food."

My Story

My eating first became "disordered" in college. I was attempting to use food and exercise to change my appearance. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was listening to people that weren't actually qualified to tell me what to do. They really didn't know what they were talking about, and much of it included a lot of food rules, "good" and "bad" foods, and avoidance and restriction of foods. Their advice really made my actions and mindset MORE disordered.

Then I moved to Los Angeles in my twenties, and that didn't help things. I did exactly what the "professionals"/"experts" told me to do. However, it continued to make things worse. (In hindsight, I was probably eating too little and exercising too much for my body and my circumstances.)

When I was looking for answers to my nutrition questions, I wanted them oh so badly. I was feeling desperate, and would have done just about anything. Little did I know that the people I was trusting, and getting my information from, didn't know as much as I thought they did. I spent time and money on things that only made everything worse.

It finally hit me that I was doing everything I was being told to do, it truly wasn't working, and it wasn't going to. (And it wasn't my fault.) Full stop. The end. That's when I decided to go get legitimate education in nutrition, fitness, and health.

It took years, but I slowly transitioned away from the disordered thoughts and actions. My understanding of health and having a calmer relationship with food, exercise and self is something I didn't realize was possible. (BTW, taking care of yourself and your health, AND having a good relationship with food can exist at the same time.)

The most fun part is that now I help other women with the same struggles. (And it doesn't take as long as it took me on my own.) I get to watch clients transform from confused and anxious about food and health, to confident and empowered and feeling so much better inside and out.
