My Philosophy as a Nutritionist and Dietitian

Hilary Warner has advanced level professional training as a nutritionist and dietitian and believes food and eating should be enjoyed.

I am a registered nutritionist and dietitian with advanced-level professional training, 28 years of experience helping people get healthier, plus ongoing continuing education specially chosen to help you get where you want to go.

When I combine all of this with my personal experience with eating well and being physically fit, the following best describes my philosophy:

Food matters! Food and eating are important parts of our lives and should be enjoyed. Your grocery store is full of healthy foods that can nourish and sustain your body.
Let lifestyle be your medicine! A healthy diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep and other health behaviors should be the first line of defense for optimizing your health and preventing and/or managing disease.
With the exception of allergies and food intolerance, it is unlikely that any one food will cure or harm you.
Striving for health and a healthy lifestyle is much more sensible than focusing on reaching a certain weight or BMI.
The weight that’s right for you is the one you settle into when you eat and exercise appropriately.
People of all sizes can improve health by adopting healthy behaviors.
Most people can learn to tune in to their bodies to figure out when, what, and how much to eat.
DIET is a four letter word! Restrictive eating plans can actually cause weight gain in the long term!
Gimmicks and quick fixes do not permanently solve problems.
Progress is always the goal, not perfection.
