ABOUT THIS CLASS—

Join Heidi Karner, RDN, LDN and Diabetes Specialist to learn how to avoid blood sugar spikes and crashes while still savoring your favorite satisfying dishes. Heidi will show you how to add foods to your meals & snacks, not take them away. Plus, gain essential skills to set boundaries with well-meaning friends and family.

MEET HEIDI KARNER—

I am a Registered Dietitian, Diabetes Educator, and amateur chef... or at least I like to think so! Like so many dietitians, my initial training was not through an anti-diet lens. For a long time, it felt like the profession I had chosen had failed me as I watched my clients continue to struggle with body acceptance, weight cycling, and calorie-restricted dieting. I wanted to find a way to support my clients in nourishing their bodies without sacrificing their mental well-being and enjoyment of food.

It wasn't until I discovered the principles of Intuitive Eating - a compassionate eating framework rooted in self-care - that I felt I could truly support clients in their journey to respect their bodies and make peace with food.

When I'm not seeing clients, you can find me trying out new recipes, hiking with my pup, and caring for my many houseplants!
