Welcome! I’m Sue Clarahan, RD, LD. I strive to make nutrition practical and simple. Let’s get you the help you deserve.
You are not broken. Eating beyond hunger, not eating for hunger, using food other than nourishment or engaging in behaviors that override your body’s hunger and fullness cues makes for a lifetime of chaotic and dysfunctional eating. Believing that your life’s calling is to try and change your body is a thief of time and your life.
You are not a failure. Do not believe the myth that your body is broken, and your eating is beyond your control. I can help you heal your body and your internal wisdom to become whole and trusting of your body’s wisdom.
How I Can Help
DISORDERED EATING
Do You Find Yourself:
❍ Chronically dieting only to regain the weight…and then more?
❍ Using food for reasons other than nourishing your body?
❍ Feeling loss of control when you eat?
❍ Constantly confused by conflicting nutrition messages in the media?
❍ No longer understanding what it is to eat normal?
❍ Tired of having food rule your life?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you’ll benefit seeing Sue.
EATING DISORDERS
Do You Find Yourself:
❍ Restricting food intake - eating very little, eating nothing, or trying to eat as little as possible?
❍ Binging - eating large quantities of food in a short period of time?
❍ Purging - using methods such as self-induced vomiting or laxatives to attempt to “get rid of” what you’ve eaten?
❍ Compulsively overeating, even if you’re not hungry?
❍ Compulsively exercising - exercising too much, too vigorously, or to the point where it is interfering with your life?
❍ Taking diet pills, laxatives, diuretics, other pills, or substances to help curb your appetite or assist in purging?
❍ Chewing/Spitting food out? (This is another form of purging.)
❍ Drinking a lot of water, diet soda, tea, or coffee, chewing gum continually, smoking, and/or taking caffeine pills to attempt to control your appetite?

“Sue, I wanted to share with you a representation of what my time with you this year has given to me. I thank you for your gift of PEACE. There’s a confidence in the way you carry yourself and speak your mind, that seems to maintain you in a state of peace and calm. I admire your capacity to say what needs to be said; it inspires me to be less fearful of self assertion in order to attain this state of contentment with myself and my life. May you receive this same give you’ve shared with me through your presence in my life, a thousand fold in return, in the year to come.”
“With a sincere heart, I would like to thank you for your valuable advice, support, and help over the last few months. Your in-depth knowledge and understanding helped open my eyes (and mind) as to what a healthy relationship with food, my body, and myself can be. Though it has been a difficult process, and may continue to be for a while, I feel I am in a better position and more prepared with the tools you’ve provided me. Thank you once again for always taking time to work with me and for your constant care. ”
