Here’s the truth: diets don’t work.
Trust me. We’ve been there.
…and I’m guessing you have too.
The only thing consistent when it comes to food is that everyone is confused about what to eat. The nutrition field is constantly evolving, and the amount of health messages we are bombarded with on a daily basis is overwhelming. How do you know what is true, and how do you attempt to navigate through all of the information? Every diet promises to be the solution, yet research shows that over 95% of diets do not work long-term. They are often lacking scientific basis, are not sustainable, and can lead to physical, mental, and emotional harm.
What if we stopped trusting diet culture, and started trusting our bodies?
Be empowered by you
Do you trust your body? Diet culture makes you question your ability to choose the types and amounts of food that your body requires. You know your body best! It's time to get back to basics: food should taste good and make you feel good. Too often you may ignore your internal hunger and fullness signals, or even food preferences, in pursuit of following a restrictive meal plan or set of rules. This can eventually lead to over-eating and guilt, thus perpetuating the cycle of dieting.
You will learn to break free from this all-or-nothing approach to eating, build trust in yourself, and honor your internal hunger and fullness cues.
Live life balanced
Do you assign labels to foods as being "good" or "bad"? Newsflash: nothing in nutrition is that black-and-white. What matters more is the big picture of your eating patterns over time, your behaviors around food and how you feel about yourself. All foods can fit into your life without putting so much emphasis on moral value: eating a salad doesn’t mean you’re on a diet and eating cookies doesn’t mean you’ve blown it. Both of these food choices can exist in harmony. Food is fuel, but it also brings people together in a way that is meant to be savored. Our work together will help you find that balance.
You will create a healthier relationship with all foods by giving yourself permission to enjoy food without guilt (life's too short, am I right?) while progressing towards your health goals.
Find kindness and flourish
Do you view your body as the enemy? It’s easy to forget that your brain and body are on the same team. Change starts in the mind, and it’s important to understand what drives your eating habits and how body image may play a role. More curiosity and less judgment. This will be a complex journey, and you’ll move at your own pace and follow your own unique road. It is important to practice patience and be kind to yourself in the process.
You will cultivate greater self-compassion and a more positive relationship with your mind and body to help facilitate lasting change.
Care for the whole you
Your food choices are far from the only thing impacting your health. Taking into consideration your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing will be foundational in our work together. Your recipe for health includes four core ingredients: nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management.
You will discover how these elements mix together in your life and how we can strengthen your ability to meet your needs and thrive at any size.
We don’t want diet culture to spend one more day dulling the magic that is YOU.
Let’s find a better path to health, together.

My Story
Kim Murachver, MS, RD, LDN, CDE
I am a Registered Dietitian, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Certified Diabetes Educator, and certified total foodie (that’s a thing, right?). I use Intuitive Eating and the HAES (Health at Every Size) paradigm to help individuals practice health behaviors in a balanced, enjoyable, sustainable way, no matter their current body size or health concerns. Say goodbye to diets forever.
I’ll let you in on a little secret:
I haven’t always been a non-diet dietitian.
Like most people in the field of nutrition, my traditional training led me down a path of teaching people “eat this, not that” (oh, and not too much!), rigid meal plans and recommendations, and a textbook approach to counseling. Along with my own history of dieting in high school and college, I accepted this immersion in diet culture as the norm for years. This idea that we should do everything we can to make our plates and our bodies smaller.
But I noticed something over the years while working with clients: this approach does not work. The nutrition education, food rules, and rigid goal setting were not providing what my clients really needed.
I realized that sustainable changes happened when my clients started improving their relationship with food and themselves, rather than using external dieting messages to measure their self-worth. Deprivation was not a prerequisite for health. In fact, it was quite the opposite. This shift changed everything.
My career evolved and I became trained in Intuitive Eating and HAES. I could no longer accept diet culture agenda. After spending many years incorporating a non-diet approach as the head outpatient dietitian in a hospital setting, I decided it was time help more people in a broader community. I started my private practice Greene Nutrition, and it has been more fulfilling than I could have imagined.
When I’m not in the office, I enjoy hiking with my adorable pup, biking on rail trails, planning the next trip or restaurant adventure, and making homemade pizza with my husband and son (aka sous chef-in-training).
