A Unique Approach to Healthy Eating

Our foodspace influences our food decisions, which establish our food behaviors… which may or may not support healthy eating. Our goal is to equip you with the skills needed to create intentional food spaces that support healthy habits through lasting behavior change.

We can begin to design a foodspace that:

  • Outsmarts the brain to leverage autopilot decisions & natural tendency

  • Empowers your clients via a personalized approach

  • Promotes healthy eating strategies rooted in behavioral science

  • Sets your clients up to make the healthy food choices that are aligned with their personal health goals

Food Choice Architecture (FCA) is the intentional design of food choices and spaces to make the healthy choices the easiest choice, without restricting options. FCA is rooted in behavioral science and can strongly influence the way we select and enjoy food.

Foodspace refers to the places and spaces where food decisions are made.

We support RDs who are:

  • in private practice, and want to help their clients create supportive environments for long term success

  • community RDs, working to make healthy eating easy

  • in corporate dining and want to help employees eat better to feel better at work

  • in food service or retail that want to use choice architecture to position healthy options as the most convenient

  • clinical dietitians, that want to help patients adopt new eating behaviors

  • looking to expand their skill-set and/or incorporate behavior change strategies into life and work

What’s in it for you?

  • Exposure to a new, profitable field of Dietetics. The workplace wellness sector continues to grow, demanding RDs that are equipped and trained in how to support employee health.

  • A New Approach. We bring a new, novel suite of research-backed choice architecture strategies to nutrition counseling that may be the missing link for your clients.

  • Customization. This approach can be customized for any client, including those with specialized eating patterns (diabetes, heart disease, celiac), food allergens, budget, lifestyle, needs based on stage of life (parents, children, 50+), and personal health goals

  • Professional & Business Growth. Evidence based strategies to enhance your skill set to set you apart, equipping you with marketable strategies & tools for your professional toolbox

  • Client Success. Help your clients succeed!
