Testimonials
“Working with Nourishing Minds Nutrition has truly opened so many doors in my life and I am forever grateful that I came across the podcast last year. I worked to heal my physical body and get my period back, but so much more importantly, we worked to improve my mental flexibility and to let go of the harsh inner critic running my life. Our time together changed so many more relationships than just my relationship with food and my body, I have become a more forgiving, calm and compassionate person and I am no longer limited by fears of food and how others will receive my body. This has allowed me to truly live my life the way I want and to pursue the endless opportunities the world has to offer. I am actually excited for my future and no longer fearful of life events because of lack of access to my safe food and my rigorous routines. I can happily say that food is such a small part of my life now and not until I opened myself up to the possibility of acceptance and leaning in to the fear I felt was I able to see how much more there is to life than just trying to control my body.”
“I am a strong believer in “everything happens for a reason” and I feel the stars aligned when I stumbled upon the Nourishing Women Podcast, as the discussions hit true to my soul. I am nearly 30, was on an OCP (oral contraceptive pill) for 11 years, had an eating disorder, and over-exercised (although I didn’t realize it at the time), and never got a period for 6 months after stopping my OCP. I am a healthcare provider myself, and after seeing both my PCP, and OB/Gyn, I was told my bloodwork was normal, and to come back if I still didn’t have a period when I wanted to conceive, and I could see a fertility specialist. I decided then that I needed to take a different approach, and I am forever grateful that I found the courage to email Nourishing Minds Nutrition because I knew in my heart I needed the help.
Working with Victoria seriously changed my life. While I know I did all the hard work, there is NO WAY I could have done it without her guidance, wealth of knowledge, and support. She helped me to overcome my disordered eating & over-exercising, put me on appropriate supplements specific to my needs and lab results, and get my cycles back!! Cycling again was my main focus, but I came out of our 6 months together with so much more: a new found respect for my body and how strong it actually is (not just being able to lift more weight in the gym strong, but really, truly, mentally strong), a peace with food that I honestly didn’t think was possible for women in today’s society, and a much healthier relationship with movement and intuitive living. Taking this leap of faith was one of the best things I have ever done for myself and 100% worth it!”
“I feel so happy the Nourishing Minds Nutrition. I had stopped ovulating and had very irregular periods caused by a bad relationship with food, over exercising and stress. We worked not only on my relationship with food but how I handle my daily stress. They are incredibly knowledgeable and I left each session with a game plan that made me feel empowered. After working together I saw my periods become regular and my ovulation come back, I could not recommend NMN more!”
"Full disclosure, I am a Registered Dietitian myself and it's important to know that even those of us who are trained in the field aren't equipped enough to fully help ourselves. Since before studying nutrition, I had had significant issues with digestion, bloating and emotional eating, all alongside general anxiety. During this pandemic, I finally had the time to focus on my health issues and decided it was time to invest in getting help from someone else who was well-trained in this area. I had been listening to Victoria's podcast for years and knew I could turn to Nourishing Minds Nutrition and trust them to help me with my digestive concerns and intuitive eating journey without focusing on restriction and weight loss. I worked with Megan and she was phenomenal at listening to my concerns each week and helping me find ways to focus on self-care and get back to the basics of nutrition and fueling myself, something that I'd lost in the last few years due to stress and anxiety. One of my highlights of this year was getting to meet with Megan each week and be able to have a totally judgement-free conversation with a fellow RD. One of the most impactful things I learned was to focus more on my behaviors around food over the course of the day rather than pinpointing a specific food that might have caused digestive distress. This has been a game-changer for me. In addition to this, Megan helped me find some supplements to truly support my symptoms, whereas before I was often blindly spending money out of desperation to feel better. Megan is dedicated and truly a cheerleader for her clients, and anyone working with her will be in great hands!"
“When my period ceased in high-school, I was put on the birth control to mask the symptoms for almost 10 years. During that time, I struggled with increasingly restrictive eating and overexercise. I was incredibly out of tune with my hormones, my body, and myself. When I went off birth control in my mid-twenties and didn't get my period for almost a year and a half, I felt pretty hopeless. Would it ever come back? I thought I was doing everything I needed to get my period back, i.e. work out less, eat more, etc. When I started working with Victoria, however, I realized that a lot of the work that needed to be done was internal: I needed to change my mindset about healing, learn to trust my body, and loosen my grip on control. Throughout our six months working together, Victoria walked with me, hand-in-hand (via our amazing Skype seshes), as I acknowledged and worked through my food fears and my limiting beliefs about my body and myself. She helped me get on a protocol of targeted supplements, find a new normal with food and exercise, and learn to (finally) feel at home in my body. Three months into working together and BOOM, I got my period back and have had cycles ever since. I am so, so, so grateful for my work with Victoria and would do it again in a heartbeat.”
“I loved working with Victoria so much the past 6 months. She was like my therapist and my teacher. She questioned my thoughts in a way no one ever has and has really made me see diet culture as the ugly thing it is. During this time with her, I was able to get my life back. I am no longer scared of food and therefore can have more fun date nights with my husband and outings with my family without worrying about every bite I put into my mouth. While working with her we found the root cause of my binge eating and her expertise in herbal medicine really helped me control my cortisol. Working with her really changed my life and helped me accept me for the way I am.”
“I want to thank Victoria from the bottom of my heart for being so patient, gentle and nurturing these past few months. I am sad that our time has ended because I really really loved our calls and having her support/reassurance. It felt so good to have Victoria’s blessings and confidence in the fact that I was on the right track. Above all else, I am feeling more and more like my old self! And that’s what is most important to me. My digestive issues have cleared, my anxiety diminished and I have loosened the reigns a bit - and I am so much happier for it! With Victoria’s guidance I have been able to find the joy in my wonderful life again and I am so lucky. I have the energy to actually have feelings and emotions again. I don’t want to ever miss out on another second more of feeling how truly blessed I am!”
“I would say, most importantly, my dietitian showed me the significance of allowing and trusting someone as a guide in the messiness of intuitive eating; something I believed I thought I was supposed to immediately return to once I had the knowledge. I cannot recommend Nourishing Minds Nutrition enough for their focus on intuitive eating, body image, and hormonal healing. If you’re considering working with them, take the leap, invest in yourself and your health because it is worth it (and so are you)!”
"For many years I lived with numerous symptoms that I didn’t even understand. I just was used to living like that and thought I was handling things okay. Working with Megan has changed my life in so many ways, it brings tears of joy when I talk about it. My digestion issues of years are now gone; I know what intuitive eating and living is, and I can do it. My relationship with my body has changed dramatically, and now I am at peace with myself. I am no longer obsessed or afraid of food, and it’s delightful to live freely and happily and healthy. Megan is a wonderful, loving, empowering person. She was so patient, supportive and dedicated. I cannot even begin to say how much I admire her and the work they both do. Coming to Nourishing Minds Nutrition was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I will be forever grateful."
"Every choice is the clients’; Victoria simply advises and you get to choose what you feel is right for you! Which is amazing because Victoria’s practice is not just about HEALING your gut, but about TRUSTING it. And in saying that it’s important to mention that because of this, and how our meetings were structured, my recovery was almost seamless. Through the grace of God I am now healed, and it wouldn’t be possible if He hadn’t put Victoria in my path. Every day that I am not in pain I am grateful to God first and foremost, as well as the amazing women of Nourishing Minds Nutrition. I stand behind their movement 100%. "
"After listening to the Nourishing Minds Nutrition podcast for a few months and learning more about what I was feeling, how it was not normal, and that healing is possible I decided to reach out and work with NMN. At the time I just wanted to feel better. I had digestive issues, period issues, and a broken relationship with food and exercise. I was given was my life back! My dietitian took the time to truly listen and to figure out the best plan going forward. So much of what I was doing on my own to 'help' ended up being what was hurting me, and she worked with me to challenge my thoughts and routines and to find supplements that help with the physical symptoms. My digestive issues are so much better, and food is fun again. My period is regular and less symptomatic, and I am ovulating. I no longer fear foods and exercise in ways that feel good and are to celebrate my body rather than punish or change it. Without Nourishing Minds Nutrition there is no way that I would be where I am now feeling the way that I do!"
“I have so many words I want to begin this with, but I think the best would be “thank you.” The time I have spent working with Megan has completed changed my journey with my body and my relationship with food for the better. I have been in recovery from an eating disorder for over 7 years and originally came in with the mindset of this being a check in to make sure I was on the right path of recovery and learn more about Intuitive Eating. This experience gave me that and so much more. It allowed me to start an incredible journey of truly trusting my body.
Megan has been an influential mentor to me as I start this journey. I felt comfortable opening up on where I actually was in my relationship with my body and food. She not only listened, but guided me without judgement. She also helped me go from barely surviving on six cups of coffee a day to thriving on one, which if you know me is unthinkable! I will be forever grateful for this experience and for Megan.”
"As someone who was struggling with the vicious cycle of a disordered and restrictive relationship with food, yet also having digestive and hormonal problems I was very excited to find Victoria Myers. Her combination of care for physical and emotional wellness were exactly what I needed, and unlike any other practitioner I had worked with before. I looked forward to my sessions with Victoria as a time to meet with someone who truly cared about my well-being and who understood what I was going through. She actually gets it because she’s been through it all, and she has the expertise on how to heal these issues. I went from not being able to count the days that I was bloated, constipated, and in pain because it was such a frequent occurrence, to having these days be something I notice as out of the normal. Victoria helped me see my ability to say NO to fear around food and not let it have such an influence in my life! It is amazing to look back on the last 6 months and see how far I’ve come, thanks to the help of Victoria by my side. I am confident that I am on the right path, and would not have been on this path had I not invested in being a client of Victoria’s. I sure am grateful that she, too, invested in me."
"Our bodies are ever-evolving, just like our minds and moods. Since Victoria and I have worked together, I have begun to understand my own body and digestive system. I had known for a few years there was something wrong, it was Victoria who was able to guide me in the right direction. Every body is different, everyone in unique and that 100% applies to our digestive systems. I went through a long phase of attempting to implement different diets to fix my aliments; paleo to vegetarian to vegan to counting macros. What I love the most about this experience is the deep care and compassion (and passion) Victoria has for her clients and the nutrition, mental-health, and mindfulness world. Every time we met, I knew it was ok to be vulnerable. This journey has been challenging and I am grateful to have pinpointed my specific problematic moments with someone incredibly knowledgeable. Now I have the knowledge on what I can do to take back control of my body, so we can work together. Thank you, Victoria. Your guidance has been Nourishing to my Mind. "
"I loved so many things about working with Victoria through Nourishing Minds Nutrition. From the beginning, I knew she would always understand me. No thought was unheard of, no question was stupid, no experience was foreign to her. She sympathized with me where I was at and gently led me in the right direction. She helped me develop peace with food--something I haven't experienced in too long. I have had disordered thoughts around eating for several years, much longer than I struggled with an actual eating disorder. It doesn't constantly occupy my thoughts anymore and it neither scares me or brings me unhealthy comfort. I can eat both salad and ice cream without wondering what it's made out of, how my body will digest it, or what it will make me look like. Victoria also helped me reconnect with myself. By placing less importance on food and exercise, I was able to re-discover the simple things in life that bring me joy. I also became more in-tune to my own thoughts and feelings, and I why I was having them. And most importantly, I realized that no matter what those thoughts or feelings were, they're not explicitly wrong. Victoria helped me love myself, my body, and my femininity more than I ever have. Every day, I am able to "observe without judgment" more and more. My only regret is not finding these ladies sooner. Being a client here was always a joy and never an embarrassment. I feel informed and empowered, and I can't wait to see how much fuller my life will be because of this knowledge."
“My work with Victoria has been nothing short of life changing. She not only knows so much about hormonal and digestive health and wellness without obsession, she walks the talk. As someone in the midst of a health journey, it is so helpful to speak with someone who understands what you're going through because they did as well. To know that you too will get through it and someday be on the other side. If you're considering working with the women of Nourishing Minds Nutrition, I highly recommend you take a chance and do it. Who knows, it could be life changing for you as well.”
“I can't emphasize how powerful it was to have someone outside of my experience listen with compassion and give suggestions from their exhaustive education and personal experience. I didn't realize until I started implementing the steps Victoria provided how much better I could actually feel. And contrary to what we're often told, it wasn't by controlling my life more; it was actually about being patient and doing less. More freedom with food, with exercise, and mostly importantly with my thoughts and relationship to my body. No one was more surprised than me when I got a period four months later. For all the healing I have done over the last several years, this was the indicator that my body was finally starting to feel safe and whole. I am so grateful for the insights I have gained from my time working with Victoria and feel well-equipped to continue healing. For all the money and time I've invested in my health, it's truly the best I've ever spent.”
“What I can say is Victoria has changed my life in more ways than just helping with my digestion. You helped me find my freedom from food and my freedom from myself. I no longer feel trapped within my own body and have the confidence to live life in a way that makes me feel best. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me my body back, for allowing me a place to speak openly without judgement and helping me feel normal. I have nothing but love and respect for you Victoria!!”
“Starting my intuitive eating journey with Megan was the best decision I've ever made. Megan is an incredibly kind, thoughtful, sincere soul. She's a true bright light that helped me work through the constant barrage of my inner anxieties and demons that plagued my body insecurities and food issues. Megan helped make my journey of body acceptance and self love so much easier with her constant support and reassurance. I never thought I could be at the place I am now where I'm not constantly worrying about what I'm eating and what my body looks like to society. Thanks to Megan I finally feel free.”
