This service is for people tired of the diet cycle, who feel guilt or anxiety around food, or who have lost touch with their natural hunger and fullness cues after years of restriction. It is also for those who want to improve their relationship with food and their body image, including the impact social media can have on both.
We work with disrupted eating patterns (chronic restriction, emotional eating, rigid food rules), not with diagnosed eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder). Parallel psychological support is often beneficial, particularly when body image or stress is a central issue. We are happy to collaborate with a psychologist already involved or to refer the patient to an appropriate resource if needed.
Why this is important
After years of dieting, the body and mind often lose the ability to recognize hunger and fullness naturally. Food becomes a source of anxiety rather than a simple physiological need.
Diet culture has only grown louder with social media. Between "health maxxing" trends, "what I eat in a day" videos, and a constant stream of conflicting rules about what to cut, track, or optimize, many people have come to see food as something to control rather than something to enjoy and trust. Add meals eaten in front of screens, on the go, or between tasks, and it becomes even harder to notice what the body is actually asking for.
This work aims to rebuild that trust, with concrete tools rather than another restrictive plan in disguise. Together, we help you reconnect with your internal cues, quiet the outside noise, and develop a calmer, more flexible relationship with food and your body.
A place to rediscover your relationship with food
Nuome comes from "nu," meaning new, and "ome", sounding like home. Making peace with food means finding a sense of home with it, free from rules, judgment, and guilt. That's precisely what this support aims to offer.
What that includes
-
Principles of intuitive eating, to break free from the restriction/loss of control cycle
-
Recognizing hunger and satiety signals, using the hunger and satiety scale as a practical tool
-
Neutralizing foods perceived as "permitted" or "forbidden"
-
Emotional eating: understanding the role of food as a coping mechanism in the face of stress, without judgment
-
Mindful eating
-
Discussing impact of social media and diet culture on body image and relationship with food
What to expect during a consultation
-
Pre-visit questionnaire about your diet history and goals
-
Initial 60-minute assessment, non-judgmental, at your own pace
-
Follow-up to gradually rebuild trust in your body's signals
Scope of practice
We focus on disrupted eating patterns, such as emotional eating or a difficult relationship with food, rather than diagnosed eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder). Emotional eating is not a DSM-5 diagnosis; it is a common human behavior that we aim to better understand.
If signs of an eating disorder appear during follow-up, we promptly refer to a specialized team.
FAQ
Does this service treat diagnosed eating disorders? No. I refer those cases to a specialized team. This service focuses on disrupted eating patterns, not clinical diagnoses.
Is emotional eating a disorder? No, it's a very common behavior, often linked to stress or emotions. We can work on understanding it better without it being a diagnosis.
Will I receive a meal plan? No, the goal is to rebuild your trust in your own body's signals, not to give you new rules to follow.
Do you provide a strict, low-calorie diet plan? No. The approach respects the principle of energy balance necessary for weight loss, but the method is individualized according to the patient's actual digestive tolerance; it's not a rigid, imposed plan.
