Stuck in a cycle of dieting that works temporarily then back to where you started.

Like you’re “doing everything right,” but still not seeing results.

Discouraged by the scale, even when your energy, sleep, or digestion are improving.

Rachel Simon MS, RD, CDN

Hi, I’m Rachel, a Registered Dietitian and nutrition realist.

After more than a decade in clinical nutrition, I’ve seen firsthand how confusing and frustrating health can feel—especially for busy women balancing everything else. I don’t believe in restrictive diets.

I believe in real food, realistic plans, and real progress that’s measured by more than just the number on the scale.
