ABOUT

If you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or asked to follow a rigid diet before — you’re not alone.

I’ll stand beside you and tell you the truth when it matters.

I’ll cheer you on. I’ll celebrate the wins. And I’ll also call out what’s keeping you stuck — without shame.

I’m a supportive, straightforward registered dietitian with 30+ years of experience in eating disorder recovery. I’ve worked inpatient and outpatient, and I’ve seen what really leads to freedom.

Most of all? I’m here to help you find your freedom, fuel your body, and reclaim your life — in a way that actually works for you.

Hi there, I'm Brina (bree-nuh) Jergenson, Registered Dietitian 

I'm here to move you forward
