“Working with McKenzie throughout my pregnancy brought about such confidence and trust in my body and it's ability to carry a healthy pregnancy. I was diagnosed with PCOS right before I found out I was pregnant and was worried about developing gestational diabetes because of it. McKenzie helped me understand my insulin resistance and what it does to my body and provided real, sustainable tips on preventing and managing GD if I was diagnosed. I did not develop GD, but McKenzie also helped my realize that there was no shame if I had, and reassured me that I could still continue to have a healthy pregnancy if diagnosed. There is so much fear mongering around what you can and cannot eat while pregnant and working with a professional like McKenzie helped in navigating those risks and understand what was truly a concern.” - Jessica R.

“McKenzie helped me through an incredibly difficult second experience with gestational diabetes. Not only was she knowledgeable about the ins and outs of my GD diagnosis and the nutritional and medical elements of gestational diabetes, but she also worked with me so that I could maintain a relationship with intuitive eating throughout this difficult time. McKenzie helped me navigate issues about body image, fatphobia within the medical field, as well as practical ways to manage my GD. Her Health at Every Size approach is invaluable, and I know she is going to go on to help so many more women struggling with GD in the future. I'd recommend her to anyone!” - Catherine H

“Working with McKenzie was the best decision I could have made during my pregnancy. Being larger bodied, I've experienced fatphobia from doctors and nurses for many years. When I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, I decided to seek out a nutritionist who could guide me through the rest of my pregnancy with a health at every size approach. McKenzie did just that, providing a roadmap for navigating GD that took into account my struggles with disordered eating and helped me to maintain a healthy and happy attitude towards food. McKenzie doesn't focus on cutting out foods, but rather takes a holistic approach to stabilizing blood sugar by pairing foods and adding in supplements or medication (in consultation with my doctors). In addition to providing meal plans and nutrition advice, our meetings felt like therapy sessions where I could talk through my complicated feelings about my body and diagnosis without judgment. She made me feel so happy in my body and got me through my pregnancy without any complications from the GD. Working with McKenzie was the best!” - Natalie P.

“I’ve had so many take-aways and so many improvements I don’t know where to start. My relationship with food has completely changed for the better. I spent the last 5 years eliminating food that was completely unnecessary. McKenzie was able to help me add foods back in and teach me to not feel guilty about it. I’ve been struggling with infertility, insulin resistance, and psoriatic arthritis. McKenzie has taught me what to eat to help with these conditions. I would recommend her to anyone struggling with food issues, PCOS, infertility, and insulin resistance.” - Stephanie S.
