Los Angeles Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
Practical Nutrition for Overwhelmed Adults.
Hi, I’m Shelby Becker!
I’d like to warmly welcome you to EmpoweRD Eating Nutrition Counseling.
Founded in 2023, I have spent the last few years supporting adults who feel overwhelmed by food and the pressure to “do nutrition right.” You may be burned out or struggling to prioritize meals during busy work weeks. Or perhaps you feel caught in cycles of guilt, emotional eating, and food rules.
Together, we will explore what is getting in the way and build practical strategies that make food feel more manageable. Our work may include creating flexible meal and snack routines, navigating low-energy days, reducing food-related stress, supporting medical or preventive health goals, and developing a more peaceful relationship with eating.
Whether you are navigating disordered eating, inconsistent meals, or burnout, you deserve individualized nutrition support that meets you where you are.

What does it mean to work together?
At EmpoweRD Eating, here’s what you can expect:
Compassionate, evidence-informed care
We will use evidence-informed nutrition and behavior-change strategies while keeping your preferences, health history, budget and capacity at the center of care. You will not receive a generic meal plan or be expected to follow unrealistic rules.
Weight-inclusive and anti-diet
I practice from a weight-inclusive, Health at Every Size®-aligned approach. Work is encouraged to be focused on health-supportive behaviors, and non-weight-related goals. If weight monitoring is clinically necessary, we can use blind weights to reduce distress and support your medical safety.
Collaborative and ongoing support
Nutrition counseling is not a one-time meal plan or a list of rules. I encourage meeting regularly to understand your patterns, identify barriers, test strategies, and adjust our approach based on your experiences. Many clients benefit from weekly or every-other-week visits at the beginning, allowing time to build skills, troubleshoot challenges, and create changes that last.
