Meet Dana Paul, MPH, RDN
Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor
Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist
Hello, I'm Dana Paul, and I'm so glad you are here. I view the patient-provider relationship as a partnership, where you hold the key to your internal experiences and the insights they provide. My role is to assist you in learning to listen to and trust this guidance, while also sharing my expertise in nutrition to help you make behavioral changes that best support your health and well-being.
I'm deeply passionate about helping individuals enhance their health and wellbeing, which begins with fostering a harmonious relationship with food and their bodies. Our bodies deserve respect, and food should be a source of joy and nourishment. Yet, diet culture has instilled feelings of body shame and fear around food, often turning the eating experience into a source of anxiety. This issue is worsened by a weight-centric healthcare system that:
-
Exaggerates the benefits of weight loss.
-
Undervalues positive effects of health-promoting behaviors in the absence weight loss.
-
Overlooks (or remains unaware of) the risks associated with prioritizing weight loss as a goal.
Focusing on intentional weight loss as the primary means to improved health often backfires, resulting in weight cycling which negatively affects physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. In my practice, I utilize a combination of intuitive eating, mindfulness, medical nutrition therapy, and a values-based living approach to help individuals achieve a more wholistic and authentic approach to health.

I look forward to working with you!

Dana has transformed my
approach to health
Working with Dana has transformed my approach to health teaching me that compassionate care isn’t passive—it can include challenge and boundaries that foster real growth. She’s helped me shift from focusing on how my body looks to truly caring for it in a sustainable, life-giving way. Her guidance has been invaluable in healing my relationship with food and movement, providing both support and accountability I didn’t even realize I needed.
