Katrina Zhang, RD

The oppression of chasing the “perfect” diet and the “ideal” thin body is not new in the Asian community. In my personal experience, my mom once put me on a “special diet” because I look chubbier than kids the same age. My friends and I used to compare our bodies to those top models on the cover of magazines. Although I become a health professional specializing in food and wellness, it still took me years to unlearn the diet culture mentality. Nowadays, as a HAES-informed practitioner, I see that health and good nutrition are not one-size-fits-all. Yet, it’s highly personalized and tightly connected to our cultural and family upbringings. And this is what drives my practice - in a non-diet, weight-inclusive environment, I will partner with you to practice the mind-body-plate connection. I will help you find peace with food.
