Christian Nutrition Counseling
food freedom that honors both your health and your faith
Nutrition counseling is more than what’s on your plate, the number on the scale, or the eating disorder. For Christians, food, body image, health, and faith are deeply connected.
We offer evidence-based nutrition counseling with optional Christian faith-based, Christ-centered integration for clients by request.
What Does a Christian Integration to Nutrition Counseling Look Like?
God’s Design for Your Body & Identity - Explore a more compassionate understanding of your body and its needs while untangling your identity and worth from your appearance, weight, or eating patterns.
Nutrition Science Meets Scripture - Learn what the Bible says about food and your body, and how evidence-based nutrition science is a part of God’s good design.
Biblical Truth About Food - Understand Biblical perspectives on food, nourishment, stewardship, and caring for your body without turning Scripture into another source of food rules or restriction.
Recognize the Lies - Break free from the chains of diet culture & the enemy’s lies over your body and food. Graciously recognize where the church has not always spoken truth into topics like weight and eating disorders.
Your Body's God-Given Cues - Reconnect with your body’s God-given signals for hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and nourishment while learning to listen to your body with greater trust.
A Dietitian Who Shares the Journey - Work with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who sees faith as a source of strength, not something separate from your healing.
Christian nutrition counseling at Maddox Nutrition brings together evidence-based nutrition science and Biblical truth while making room for the complexity of your individual experience.
We do not use faith to replace nutrition science, and we do not use nutrition science to dismiss your faith.
Instead, we can explore both together in a way that supports your relationship with food, your body, your health, and your faith.
“Food is the one area I struggle to surrender to God.”
“I know I should invite God into my recovery, but I don’t know how.”
“I feel like I can’t fully serve and honor God until I lose weight.”
Have you thought these things before?
We hear this from clients all the time. And, my friend, you’re in the right place.
Together we’ll explore Biblical perspectives on food, nourishment, recovery, and caring for your body without turning Scripture into another source of food rules or restriction.
This is for anyone who wants their faith to be part of their healing, whether you're working through eating disorder recovery, years of dieting, or just want more peace with food and your body.
Our goal is to help you develop a more peaceful relationship with food and your body while considering what the science tells us about nourishing the body and making space for the beliefs, values, and spiritual questions that matter to you.
