Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
ADHD & Neurodivergent Dietitian Helping You Make Eating Easier
I’m a registered dietitian who helps people navigate eating in the context of stress, health, and real life. My approach is collaborative, weight-inclusive, and grounded in both science and compassion. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start—we can take it one step at a time.
Eating isn’t hard because you lack discipline.
It’s hard because your brain is tired. If you ever thought, “I know what to eat — why does this feel so hard?” You’re not alone.
Most food struggles aren’t about motivation, willpower, or knowing the “right” thing to do. They’re about mental load, decision fatigue, and how the brain responds to stress, overwhelm, and constant choice.
My Approach
I believe:
- Your brain is wired for efficiency, not perfection
- Food behaviors are often stress responses, not failures
- Confidence with food grows when pressure decreases
- Understanding why something is hard can be deeply regulating
I translate research on decision-making, appetite regulation, and the nervous system into language that feels human, compassionate, and usable in real life.
No shaming. No fixing. No pretending food exists in a vacuum.
What I Focus On
My work centers on the intersection of:
- ADHD & neurodivergent nutrition
- Intuitive eating
- Disordered eating
- Emotional eating
- Non-diet nutrition
Meet Suren.
I’m a registered dietitian who helps people feel more confident and less overwhelmed around food—not by adding more rules, but by understanding how the brain actually works.
My journey to becoming a dietitian is personal. I grew up with a family history that put me at higher risk for heart disease and diabetes and spent 12 years as a competitive gymnast, eventually competing as a Division I athlete at the University of Illinois.
When I transitioned away from competitive athletics, I struggled to adjust my eating patterns. I worried about how much was “enough,” feared overeating and weight gain, and tried to eat “healthy” in ways that ultimately felt miserable and unsustainable. Through my own experience, I discovered intuitive eating, food freedom, and balance—and a much more enjoyable relationship with food.
As a dietitian, I spent years helping clients reconnect with hunger and fullness cues and build confidence around food. But I kept noticing something:
People weren’t struggling because they didn’t understand nutrition. They were struggling because they were mentally exhausted.
For many people, especially those with ADHD or who are neurodivergent, eating can feel like one more thing to manage—forgetting to eat, navigating food choices, planning meals, or figuring out what feels good to eat.
My approach is gentle, weight-inclusive, and non-diet. Instead of focusing on what you should eat, I help you discover how to eat in a way that works with your brain, your life, and your needs.
Because you don’t need more food rules. You need more confidence in how to nourish yourself.
If there is one thing I want you to know
You are not failing at eating. Your brain is doing exactly what it was designed to do under load. My hope for you is that this space helps you feel less alone. And that it shows you that confidence with food doesn’t come from trying harder. It comes from needing less effort in the first place.
