Hi! I'm Mikyah Owens, RDN, LD, CD founder of Honest Nutrition and major foodie.

 

One of my biggest passions in life is seeing people discover their innate purpose through an understanding of how the body works and how to best heal the mind and body with a flexible diet that’s both tasty and nourishing.

 

 I have been studying and practicing  in the field of nutrition and dietetics for the past 10 years, working with people as young as 27 weeks old in the NICU to nearly 90 years old. 

 

My specialties range from neonatal and pediatric nutrition, to performance nutrition, GI, diabetes, and eating disorders/disordered eating. I have worked in outpatient settings, hospitals, throughout the community, and am now operating in one of my biggest  passions within my own private practice. Within Honest Nutrition, I aim to offer a beautiful blend of compassion, experience and expertise.

 

Food and nutrition are complex topics. While we all rely on food to survive, the information available is often confusing and can feel like a never ending maze that leads to a different answer with each new question.  While practicing dietetics in an inpatient setting, I realized the messages people were receiving from internet searches or conversations with peers regarding food and nutrition were very often confusing and disheartening. This prompted me to start my own practice with the focus of debunking the lies around food and diets.

 

At Honest Nutrition, I teach my clients  how to be honest regarding their relationship with food and how to deconstruct harmful thought patterns related to food that have left people in bondage to diets and restriction. 

 

Through in-depth assessments and frequent follow ups, I help people reconstruct relationships with food that are balanced and sustainable. These new and healthy patterns result in true food freedom from the obsession over food, enabling my clients to focus on the more important things in life that they have been called to do.
