Health support for those who are looking for weight independent health information
People of all sizes deserve quality health care and health information about their health.
Through the last decade, I have worked with people of all sizes in a weight independent way to assure that they get the information and support that they need. I have been limited to the state of Oregon as a licensed naturopathic doctor, however, I have long wanted to be able to reach out and offer some support to people outside of Oregon and Washington!
Thus, I have created a place for people to get weight independent information about their health.
To be clear, if you are not in Oregon (or soon Washington), I will not be able to act as your doctor, nor offer diagnosis or treatment for you, so you will need to have a doctor to go to where you are located.
What I can offer is a new perspective. If you have been told only to lose weight, or that your condition is caused by your weight, I can help you to communicate with your doctor about proper treatments. We can review diagnoses that you have received and I can explain what is happening and what is going on in your body.
I can also offer longer term health coaching support to increase your well being without being focused on weight.
Case Consultations
I also offer case consultations for providers who would like a new perspective, independent of weight, on their cases.

Testimonials
“My ability to self advocate increases day by day, thanks to the work I’ve done with Dr. Nelson. I feel seen and understood in our discussions. Her insight into the issues I raise is always thoughtful, compassionate, and on point. She meets me where I am on my fat liberation journey, and has helped me process both external and my own internal fat phobia. Her advice has positively influenced both my physical and mental health, and I am excited to continue learning from her.

“I am so grateful for Dr. Nelson providing case consultations now! As weight inclusive providers we face limited opportunities to learn from non-stigmatizing sources. Having her medical expertise to review my understanding of a diagnosis and support my nutrition intervention was empowering. It filled my cup to do another day of this challenging, yet rewarding, work.”
