Joda Nutrition

Why won’t I put you on a diet? It’s not that I don’t want you to lose weight, or that I won’t work with you if that’s a goal (that would be excluding the majority of the population!), it’s just not the deciding factor in our treatment plan. If you’re above your biologically appropriate weight (where your body biologically wants you to be) then your weight will naturally settle with the appropriate combination of food, movement, self-care, and emotional care (which more than likely includes working with a therapist).

I don’t guarantee weight loss. What I do promise, if you’re willing to work on it, is a more peaceful relationship with food and your body. 💗

I focus on behaviors, not weight, as measures of your health and our collaborative success. 💪

Hi! It’s been a minute so wanted to provide a few professional updates:
- I recently left my (nearly) full-time job as a dietitian at a behavioral hospital. It was a hard decision which I made for many reasons and I’m grateful to have the option to step back from that type of work for now (never say never!)👩‍⚕️
- I am spending the summer with my kids, and on the side, when we have childcare, I’m also starting back up 🌈☀️
- I’m expanding my virtual services to Minnesota! 🌲
- I’ll have space to take on a few new clients by the end of this summer if you or anyone you know needs a non-diet dietitian 🥗🍕🍪🍎

Any questions about what I do? Leave a comment or send a DM!

Hi there! Time for another introduction 👋 my name is Melissa Joda Moody and I’m the dietitian behind Joda Nutrition. I work basically full-time at a behavioral hospital with teens with emotional dysregulation and related disordered eating/eating disorder behaviors. I love what I do there AND I am enjoying starting this account on the side along with seeing a limited number of clients. I am passionate about helping others see their own light 💗 I hope to make an intuitive eating course in the future so stay tuned! ✨

My husband Simon and I have two kids and we love going on mini adventures with them. We live in Wisconsin and try our best to embrace every season 🌱☀️🍁❄️

A few random facts about me because I always find these fun to read:
- I’m the only one in my little family of four without dual citizenship 🇺🇸🇬🇧
- My favorite Thanksgiving foods are roasted brussel sprouts and apple crumble (I honestly could pass on most of the rest of the foods) 🍎
- I am chronically late but am working on it ⏱
- I used to be an actuary in health consulting and can still make a mean Excel spreadsheet 📊

Your turn! What’s something about you that surprises people or that you don’t often think to share. 🥸
