Fellow anti-diet dietitian Jonah Soolman discusses how being an
athletic kid and being restricted from sugar led to a troubled
relationship with food, how he learned to trust his body to guide
his eating and exercise choices, why food insecurity can lead to a
"clean-plate club" mentality, why it's essential for health
professionals to adopt the principles of Health at Every Size and
intuitive eating, and lots more!
Jonah Soolman is a registered dietitian specializing in the
treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating, and
cardiometabolic conditions using a HAES perspective. He and his
wife, Joanne, co-own Soolman Nutrition and Wellness LLC, a private
practice where they offer individualized nutrition counseling, in
Wellesley, Massachusetts, USA.
Most commonly, Jonah works with people who have tried numerous
diets and are sick of seeing their weight temporarily drop only to
inevitably rebound. Fed up with failing diets and being at war with
food and their bodies, they come to Jonah because he offers the
antithesis. By taking the focus off of weight and rules, he helps
them to form a new and more peaceful relationship with food based
on satisfaction, flexibility, and health.
When Jonah is not working, he enjoys getting outside and moving his
body. In addition to time spent playing NCAA tennis, his proudest
athletic achievements include riding his bicycle from Seattle to
Boston for charity, running up Mount Washington on four separate
occasions, and rebounding from multiple back surgeries to finish
the Newport Marathon. Find him online at soolmannutrition.com.
