Weight Loss Clinic in Portland, Oregon
About This Body Rewritten by Liat Nadler
This Body Rewritten by Liat Nadler offers a compassionate, science-based approach to weight loss that emphasizes healing your relationship with food rather than pursuing restrictive diets. Liat, a registered dietitian nutritionist, brings years of experience helping people break free from diet culture and develop sustainable, joyful eating habits that naturally lead to weight loss and improved health.
The practice is founded on the principle that lasting weight loss comes from understanding and honoring your body's needs rather than fighting against them. Liat specializes in helping clients who've struggled with yo-yo dieting, emotional eating, and the mental exhaustion that comes from constantly thinking about food and weight. Her approach integrates nutrition science with intuitive eating principles and body acceptance, creating a path to wellness that feels sustainable and helping rather than punitive and restrictive.
Services Offered
Nutrition counseling services focus on helping clients develop a peaceful relationship with food while working toward their health and weight goals. Sessions include personalized nutrition education, meal planning strategies that feel flexible rather than rigid, and tools for recognizing hunger and fullness cues. The approach emphasizes adding nourishing foods rather than restricting food groups or counting calories obsessively. Weight loss coaching addresses the behavioral and psychological aspects of eating and weight management. This includes working through food guilt and shame, developing coping strategies for emotional eating, and building confidence around food choices. The coaching helps clients understand the difference between physical and emotional hunger and provides practical tools for managing stress without turning to food. Specialized programs are available for people recovering from disordered eating patterns, those dealing with chronic health conditions affected by diet, and individuals who want to improve their relationship with food while pursuing weight loss. The dietitian services include medical nutrition therapy when appropriate, working collaboratively with healthcare providers to support overall health goals.

What to Expect
Initial consultations involve exploring each client's unique relationship with food, diet history, and current challenges around eating and weight. Liat takes time to understand not just what clients eat, but how they feel about food and their body. This comprehensive assessment helps identify patterns and develop a personalized approach that addresses both nutrition and emotional aspects of eating.
Early sessions typically focus on stabilizing eating patterns, reducing food anxiety, and beginning to rebuild trust with food and the body. Rather than starting with restrictions, the approach often begins with ensuring clients are eating adequately and regularly. This foundation work is essential for sustainable progress and helps prevent the restriction-binge cycle that derails many weight loss attempts.
As clients progress, sessions may address specific nutrition goals, meal planning strategies, and continued work on emotional eating patterns. The pace is always client-directed, recognizing that healing takes time and rushing the process often backfires. Regular check-ins help adjust the approach as needed and celebrate non-scale victories that indicate improving health and well-being.
Why Choose This Body Rewritten by Liat Nadler
Liat's approach offers a refreshing alternative to restrictive diet programs that often leave people feeling frustrated and defeated. Her focus on healing the relationship with food addresses the root causes of weight struggles rather than just treating symptoms. This comprehensive approach leads to more sustainable results and improved quality of life beyond just weight loss.
The evidence-based yet compassionate approach helps clients feel supported rather than judged throughout their journey. Liat's expertise as a registered dietitian ensures that nutrition recommendations are scientifically sound while her focus on intuitive eating helps clients develop skills they'll use for life. The combination of professional expertise and genuine care creates an environment where clients feel safe to explore their relationship with food and make lasting changes.
Insurance & Pricing
Many insurance plans cover nutrition counseling with a registered dietitian, especially when related to medical conditions like diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Liat can provide documentation for insurance claims and works with clients to maximize their benefits when possible.
For clients whose insurance doesn't cover services or who prefer to pay out-of-pocket, flexible payment options are available. Package deals for multiple sessions provide better value for clients committing to longer-term work. Sliding scale options may be available for clients who need financial assistance to access services.
First-Time Patient Tips
Success with this approach requires patience and openness to challenging diet culture beliefs that may be deeply ingrained. Clients should come prepared to explore their relationship with food honestly and be willing to try new approaches that may feel uncomfortable initially. The process often involves temporary weight fluctuations as eating patterns stabilize, so trust in the process is essential.
Clients benefit from keeping a non-judgmental awareness of their eating patterns and emotions around food between sessions. This isn't traditional food logging but rather noticing patterns without criticism. Being honest about challenges, setbacks, and concerns helps Liat provide better support and adjust the approach as needed. Most importantly, clients should approach this work with self-compassion and understanding that healing takes time.
