May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we think there is no better time to talk about one of the most overlooked parts of mental health: nourishment.

Your brain depends on nourishment to support your mental health, and the science behind that connection matters a lot in eating disorder recovery.

Swipe through to learn about the gut-brain axis, why about 90% of your body’s serotonin is actually made in the gut, and what the Minnesota Starvation Study revealed about how restricting food affects mood, anxiety, and the way we think.
Recovery is easier with the right people beside you. Side by Side Nutrition offers compassionate, weight-inclusive nutrition counseling for every stage of recovery. Link in bio to connect with us.

Your body is not the problem. It never was. 🌿

When you’re deep in recovery — whether that’s from an eating disorder, body image struggles, or just the daily noise of diet culture — coming back to your body can feel scary. Impossible, even.

But healing doesn’t happen all at once. It happens in the small moments. A breath. A pause. A hand on your heart.
Swipe through for grounding practices you can use the next time things feel overwhelming. Save this for when you need it most. 🤍

All credit to the brilliant and her book Are You Mad at Me? — a must-read if you’re doing this kind of work.

If you’ve ever wondered why food and your body feel so hard to navigate — this might be worth a read. 👉 Swipe through.
The fawn response isn’t a flaw. It was survival. But when we learn to disconnect from our own needs to keep the peace, our relationship with food and our bodies often pays the price.

Fawning. Diet culture. Disordered eating. Three very different things that all send the same message: you are too much, and you need to be less.

Healing doesn’t start with a meal plan. It starts with understanding the story your nervous system learned — and recognizing that story doesn’t have to define you.

More tools for reconnecting with your needs are coming. Stay close. 🤍

✨ Meet Christine Murphy, RD — one of our incredible dietitians here at Side by Side Nutrition!

Christine is a trauma-informed dietitian who believes in compassionate nourishment for the whole person — body, story, and soul. 🌿

She specializes in working with teens and adults whose relationship with food is rooted in early experiences, attachment dynamics, and nervous system patterns. Using a narrative-focused approach, she helps clients separate shame from experience and build lasting, meaningful change.
When she’s not in session, you might find her tending her garden (purple tomatillos this year! 🟣), painting, crocheting, or dreaming of the rugged coastlines of Scotland.

👉 Swipe through to get to know her, then send us a message or visit the link in our bio if you’re interested in working with Christine or any of our dietitians.

Meet Madeline Roberts, RD. 🌿

Madeline specializes in eating disorders across the lifespan, with a special focus on adolescents, young adults, and families navigating recovery together. Whether she’s working through ARFID with a kiddo, supporting a family using FBT, or helping someone rebuild trust with their body after years of dieting — she shows up with warmth, expertise, and zero judgment.

When she’s not in session, you might find her tending her vegetable garden, napping in a hammock, or bouncing state to state in her 1991 pop-top camper with her wife and toddler. 🚐

We’re so glad she’s part of our team. Swipe to get to know her a little better. 👉
