What is Moxie?

Moxie can be labeled as something like state of confidence, but it is also the ability to face challenge or difficulty with courage. At Moxie Mind, we’ll focus on cultivating your moxie as you flex your intuitive muscles on what well-being looks and feels like for you.

What’s a non-diet dietitian?

As a non-diet registered dietitian, Charlie can help you to feel comfortable, confident, and well in the body you have right now. Moxie Mind’s promise to you is in providing excellent care and treating you like a human being, without emphasis on what your body looks like or a number on the scale. Diets don’t work, and if you’re fed up with them then working with a non-diet dietitian is for you!

I’m interested in a non-diet approach, but I still have concerns about my weight. Now what?

Moxie Mind operates through a social justice lens called Health At Every Size (amongst many others), which focuses on the idea that health is accessible regardless of weight/shape/size, and is inherently weight neutral. Just because we operate in this way doesn’t mean that you have to be 100% on board or even know much about it. It’s totally normal to still be curious about weight loss, as we live in a weight-centered society. All of your feelings are valid, and in our work together we aim to break down harmful thoughts and behaviors to discover what being well really means to you. Working with Charlie doesn’t mean you have to give up the desire to lose weight but that it gets put on the back-burner as you work towards other aspects of your well-being.

What’s the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?

The technical answer is that dietitians have more researched-based training and are legally obligated to uphold certain professional standards, whereas nutritionists are not. Dietitians can also call themselves nutritionists, but nutritionists cannot call themselves dietitians without the corresponding training. But we know research can be flawed (ahem, weight centric), and we live in a capitalistic culture that gatekeeps via higher education and long-standing white supremacy (among other oppressive systems). I.e. dietitians often hold more privilege. Frankly, lots of people can help support you on your path to healing, regardless of their designation. Charlie is a dietitian/nutritionist who cares less about the title and more about how they’re unpacking their own biases, supporting you where you’re at, and doing their best to do no harm.
