Weight-neutral nutrition care for people who want to support their health without dieting or fighting their body.
Thoughtful, evidence-based support for complex relationships with food and health
I’m Karen Fry, an Accredited Practising Dietitian in Newcastle NSW.
I work with adolescents and adults who are seeking an alternative to weight-centred health advice and a more supportive way to care for their health.
This is nutrition care that prioritises nourishment, safety, and quality of life — not weight loss or rigid food rules.
If you’re here, you might be…
Feeling stuck with food or eating
Exhausted by dieting or trying to “get it right”
Living with an eating disorder or disordered eating
Managing a health condition where weight loss was prescribed — and didn’t help
Using appetite-affecting medications and wanting grounded, non-judgemental support
You don’t need to have everything figured out to be here.
A weight-neutral diet approach
I practise from a weight-neutral, non-diet framework, informed by Health at Every Size® (HAES®) principles and eating-disorder-informed care.
That doesn’t mean ignoring health. It means approaching health without harm.
Care here is collaborative, evidence-based, and paced — with attention to both physical and psychological wellbeing.
Experience that spans complexity
My background includes medical nutrition, gut health, diabetes, renal disease, and — over the past decade — a strong focus on eating disorders, disordered eating, and chronic dieting histories.
Many people I see live at the intersection of several of these experiences. Care is always shaped around the whole person, not just one concern.
What working together looks like
There are no rigid plans or one-size-fits-all rules here.
Sessions are individual, practical, and responsive — shaped by what’s happening in your life, your health, and your relationship with food right now.
Appointments are available in person and via telehealth.
