Sydney Cavero-Egúsquiza, MS, RD/LD
Description
I’m a weight-inclusive, neuro-affirming dietitian for everyday people.
And your whole self is welcome here.
Have you ever felt like what seems to work for everyone else just… doesn’t work for you? I’m no stranger to that feeling, either. So much of what we see out there makes it look like there’s only One Right Way for your body to be, One Right Way to eat, and One Right Way for your brain to work. And let’s face it—thsoe “rules” and standards leave a lot of us out. (Probably even most of us!) But where can you go, then, for nutrition support that’s designed to fit YOU, instead of designed to fit you into a box? I created Simply You Nutrition to be exactly that place of support, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m not a dietitian just to make nutrition recommendations—I’m a dietitian because I care about you (and tearing down barriers to care) so very much. I’m here to validate your experience, advocate for you, and help you feel more safe to be exactly who you are. This is your one-of-a-kind journey—you shouldn’t have to hide any parts of your identity or deal with the worry that judgment is standing between you and healing. When you choose me as your clinician, I show up to our relationship with all of the respect, encouragement, and insight I can possibly bring.
A few more things you might like to know about me and what it’s like to work together:
I’m Autistic, and I have ADHD, so I get what it’s like to have a brain that works differently. And as a dietitian, this unique brain helps me listen super carefully, stay even-keeled even when you share Big Scary Things, and happily try something new to help you feel comfortable (even if it might seem weird). You’re not weird! I have lived experience with ARFID, so I personally understand that for plenty of people, eating can be a sensitive and complicated experience. This means that I take your preferences, needs, and experiences seriously—I won’t brush them off or minimize what you feel. I’m here to help you figure out ways of nourishing yourself that actually work for the unique individual you are. I care about who YOU are, and what’s right for you, way more than trying to follow a one-size-fits-all care plan. I honor your goals and needs, and consistently ask for your consent throughout our work together. I work really hard to share clear expectations, so there’ll be as few surprises as possible. I don’t make assumptions about who you are or what you want. And I check in regularly, both before and during sessions, to make plenty of space for you to share as you choose. Above all, I’m here to help you find the freedom in learning to be simply you—joyfully, powerfully, uniquely yourself.
