Olivia Jefferies, RD

I'm Livi, your fellow food explorer and dedicated registered dietitian. Between trying calorie-counting, juice detox cleanses, or the latest fad diet - I was STRUGGLING to overcome my binge-eating habits. It wasn't until I became a mentee for an Intuitive Eating dietitian during my nutrition master's program that I finally put calorie captivity behind me. Those days of meticulously tracking every crumb on MyFitnessPal? Been there, deleted that! I found my way out of the labyrinth of cravings and learned to embrace food in all its delightful dimensions. So fear not - if I could do it, so you can you (with my help of course 😉)! Flash-forward to later in my master's program - with newly diagnosed ADHD as my adventure buddy - I was working between 3 part-time gigs and 2 volunteer roles to try to gain experience in the nutrition field where I could. As you can imagine, I was pretty stressed and faced what felt like a recurring battle of UTIs... only to discover after 8 months of no help from doctors that it was a chronic condition known as Interstitial Cystitis (IC). With my knowledge of human nutrition & dietetics, I dove into research to tame my flare-ups and reclaim control over my well-being. Now, I'm on a mission to spread awareness about Interstitial Cystitis and support amazing women like you, who may also be struggling with common co-morbidities of IC like endometriosis, PCOS/Hashimoto's, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic fatigue, vulvodynia, and more. So, whether you're tired of diet disillusionment or seeking a harmonious life amid your chronic illness, I'm here, ready to be your sidekick, coach, and guru on this journey to wellness. Together, we'll unravel the mysteries of YOUR UNIQUE body and create a treatment plan that will help you get your life back! 💪
