What nutrition counseling looks like
Nutrition counseling can be helpful for a wide range of concerns, whether you are navigating a specific diagnosis or simply feeling unsure where to begin.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to meet you where you are. There is no expectation to change everything at once.
You do not need a diagnosis to begin.
Depending on your needs, sessions may include:
Exploring eating patterns and nourishment needs
Taking a curious, non-judgmental look at your current eating patterns and energy needs, with the goal of supporting adequacy and flexibility over time.
Navigating medical nutrition needs
Providing nutrition support alongside medical conditions, medications, or lab findings to ensure care feels coordinated.
Rebuilding trust with your body and internal cues
Gently working to reconnect with hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and body signals at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.
Developing practical, sustainable strategies for daily life
Creating realistic tools that fit your life, energy, and capacity, rather than idealized plans that are difficult to maintain.
Working with our team of registered dietitians serving Vermont
Our team provides thoughtful, collaborative nutrition counseling grounded in compassion and clinical care. Each dietitian brings their own areas of focus and lived experience, while sharing a commitment to weight-inclusive, non-diet support.
We understand that access to specialized nutrition care can feel limited in certain areas of VT. Telehealth allows us to provide consistent, expert support whether you are in a city center or a more rural community.
What is Functional Nutrition?
Functional nutrition is a personalized approach to health that looks beyond symptoms to understand and address the root causes of imbalance in the body- recognizing that all body systems are interconnected.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, we use a full assessment and targeted testing to support you in a holistic and realistic way.
Because we have found that restrictive elimination diets only fuel food stress and worsen symptoms-we use a root cause without restriction approach. We want to figure out why you’re having symptoms in the first place and address those underlying causes to help you feel your best for the long term.
Our Approach to Eating Disorder Care
We provide eating disorder-informed nutrition counseling rooted in compassion and collaboration. Recovery is not about forcing food, chasing weight targets, or applying rigid rules. It is about rebuilding trust with your body at a pace that honors your history.
We work with individuals navigating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, chronic dieting, and disordered eating patterns. Our approach integrates medical nutrition therapy with trauma-informed care, body neutrality, and weight-inclusive principles. Whether you are newly diagnosed or years into recovery, care is tailored to your individual needs, sensory preferences, medical considerations, and lived experience.
What is Weight-inclusive care?
Weight-inclusive care is a compassionate, evidence and lived experience based approach to health that affirms all bodies as worthy of respectful, personalized care, regardless of size.
Rather than focusing on weight as a measure of health, weight-inclusive care recognizes that true well-being is shaped by a variety of factors including genetics, social determinants, mental health, access to care, and health-promoting behaviors. This approach prioritizes improving health outcomes without prescribing weight loss.
Crystal Savoy RD Nutrition Counseling is a welcoming and affirming space for humans of all races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, and backgrounds.
