Hello! I go by Tina. For work, I’m a Registered Dietitian and trained chef. I used to work in the food industry until a chronic illness shifted my path. Now, I counsel clients virtually in 1:1 appointments and am available to teach nutrition and/or culinary classes (virtual or in-person). Of all the places to find yourself on the Internet, I’m glad you’re here!

My approach is trauma-informed, weight-inclusive, gender-affirming, culturally humble, realistic, and delicious.

Focus Areas:

  • Digestive health & GI diseases

    • IBS, GERD/reflux, IBD, SIBO, Celiac, etc.

  • Prediabetes & Type 2 Diabetes (without insulin management)

  • Gender-Affirming Care

    • Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT), Gender Affirming Surgeries

  • ADHD

  • Perimenopause

  • Flexible Meal Planning (please note: this is different from providing meal plans)

Beyond helping clients manage symptoms and conditions, I also spend a significant amount of time helping folks cut through nutrition misinformation.

If you’re feeling confused by all the the supplements, superfoods, powders, products, the conflicting messaging, and slick marketing behind it all, you’re not alone.

Let’s spend some time together to simplify, streamline, and create a little more calm and support around food, the body, and the daily grind.

It ain’t all salads & Smoothies, folks

Being in a body is complicated.

We’re all born in one, but we don’t get an owner’s manual. We barely get any practical education on how to care for it.

Instead, we’re bombarded with a dumpster fire of unregulated nutrition advice from anyone with an opinion, a product to sell, or just enough education to be dangerous.

So when we want to change our habits or start experiencing symptoms we’re left sifting through confusing, contradictory, and often harmful nutrition messaging.

Modern nutrition discourse is steeped in restriction, food-shaming, body-shaming, culture-shaming... see the theme?

That isn’t nutrition. That isn’t health.
It’s a business built on suffering, designed to sell oversimplified solutions and blame the individual for not doing enough when they fail.

But nutrition can be something else,
something deeper than gimmicky claims, overhyped superfoods, Eurocentric standards, and punishing diets.

At Calm TF Down Nutrition, we prioritize the individual.

Whether it’s reducing stress around nutrition by managing symptoms or diseases, streamlining day-to-day routines with meal planning, enhancing body knowledge, or unpacking narratives that make eating more complicated than it needs to be, we do it together.

Who could benefit from a calm approach to nutrition?

Nutrition encompasses what we eat, when we eat, how we eat, how we feel about what we eat, and other lifestyle factors like movement, exercise, and sleep. It’s a lot to juggle, which is why a supportive, sustainable approach makes all the difference. Effective nutrition care thrives as a collaboration to avoid making too many changes at once, which often leads to cycles of overwhelm, shame, guilt, and falling back into old habits.

To prevent this, here are some ideas for..

  • Healthcare Providers (MDs, DOs, NPs, PAs, RNs, NDs, etc.)

    • Why nutrition referrals matter:

      • It’s critical to understand that nutrition goes beyond telling people what to eat and what not to eat. It’s a personalized, patient-centered process that factors in daily life, cultural backgrounds, relationship to food, health conditions, habit building, and more.

    • Calm TF Down Nutrition offers quick, evidence-based in-services (15-30 minutes) on the impact of nutrition referrals. Learn how partnering with RDs and CNSs benefits both patients and providers, helping improve patient outcomes and build a stronger, more collaborative healthcare field.

  • Patients

    • Struggling with symptoms or a new diagnosis? Feeling lost in a sea of restrictive diets and endless supplements? A Registered Dietitian can help you cut through the confusion with clear, evidence-based strategies tailored to your needs so you can feel better without the guesswork.

  • People in general

    • Life can feel like it’s moving at lightning speed. A nutrition professional can be a go-to support for strategies around meal planning, helpful mealtime practices, movement, and other key health-protective practices

    • Learn to cut through nutrition hype and choose products that actually work for you, not just the ones with the best marketing.
