Body image and how you relate to your body
A damaged relationship with your body weighs on food choices, physical activity and self-esteem. Support targets measurable health markers and realistic behaviours, with no aesthetic pressure.

Energy, lab results, behaviours — not weight alone
No aesthetic pressure, no products sold
Breaking the diet-guilt cycle
Every failed restrictive diet reinforces the belief in personal failure. In practice, the method fails, not the person. Follow-up replaces rigid rules with flexible markers, tested in your real daily life.
- Behavioural rather than numeric goals
- Tracking objective health markers
- Physical activity chosen, not endured
Situations commonly supported
Many people come after several years of successive diets, with mistrust of the scales, skipped then compensated meals, or lasting discomfort with their body image.
- Alternating restriction and loss of control
- Repeated weighing and anxious weight monitoring
- Avoidance of shared meals or social situations
What the follow-up can and cannot bring
The dietetic work aims at a regular eating framework, a better reading of hunger and fullness signals and fewer self-imposed rules. It does not replace psychotherapy or specialised eating-disorder care, to which a referral is proposed when indicated.
What belongs to your physician
Diagnosis, tests and medical treatment remain your doctor's responsibility. Dietetic support adapts to them and, with your agreement, a report is sent to your doctor.
