This might be a controversial opinion as a clinical nutritionist, but I’m not here to help women become endlessly productive machines for everyone around them.
I’m not sitting in consults thinking,
“How do we get you functioning at 100% so you can keep pouring from an empty cup?”
I’m thinking:
How do we help you feel better?
How do we support your energy, your brain, your body, your quality of life?
Because women are so often praised for self-sacrifice.
For pushing through.
For holding everyone else together while quietly falling apart themselves.
And yes, many of the women I work with are mothers.
But in clinic, I also see the woman behind the role.
The nervous system running on fumes.
The exhaustion.
The resentment.
The loss of self.
Supporting women’s health shouldn’t only matter because she gives to others.
It should matter because she matters.
That’s the hill I’ll die on.
