Hi, my name is Callie, I am a registered dietitian living and working in San Diego, CA. I grew up in Birmingham, AL but moved across the country a couple years ago to my now favorite city! I attended The University of Mississippi, earning a Bachelor of Applied Sciences in Dietetics and Nutrition. I completed my Dietetic Internship and Masters in Nutrition Sciences at Samford University. I have worked in various levels of eating disorder treatment including residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient. During the practicum portion of my dietetic internship I had the opportunity to work in a residential eating disorder and substance abuse treatment facility. Through this experience I was introduced to an anti-diet approach to nutrition, Intuitive Eating, and Health at Every Size which fueled my desire to continue to work with individuals struggling with eating disorders and learn about the benefits of compassionate, weight inclusive care.
I currently practice nutrition therapy with a focus on Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size. I believe that everyone can reestablish a trusting relationship with their body, food, and movement. I fell strongly that everyone deserves access to compassionate and inclusive health care – regardless of weight, shape, color, size, orientation, disability, or disease. I strive to provide a space that helps individuals feel empowered to take care of their bodies without the influence of diet culture.
I value opportunities for continued growth in the field and am always looking to deepen my understanding of therapeutic modalities and interventions researched and recommended for the treatment of eating and feeding disorders. I have experience providing trauma-informed care and utilizing motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy as part of my nutrition counseling approach.
I am excited to get to know you and begin supporting you through recovery and towards a more freeing relationship with food, movement, and body image.

Licensed in the State of Oregon (in addition to California)
Hey, my name is Kennedy (She/Her), I’m a registered dietitian living in Los Angeles where I grew up and spent most of my life with friends and family. I attended California State University, Northridge and went on to my dietetic internship in Bozeman, Montana where I completed 1200+ hours of supervised practice learning from and working with many different nutrition professionals while exploring the intersection of nutrition and sustainability in my field.
I worked in a residential eating disorder and substance use treatment facility. I feel strongly that this experience changed the trajectory of my career path and introduced me to the experience of working with people struggling with eating disorders and disordered eating. It encouraged me to dive deeper into learning what it might look like to cultivate a positive, respectful or neutral relationship with food, body image and activity.
In Oregon, I also worked with people in the hospital and outpatient clinic. Using my knowledge of counseling and medical nutrition therapy, we explored their relationship with food, nutrition, and their personal wellness goals.
I practice through the lenses/frameworks of intuitive eating, health at every size and social justice. I work with people knowing that there are some things in our lives we are in control of, but in many aspects of life there are individual, systemic, environmental, social and cultural factors that affect our relationship with food, how we feed ourselves, how we view our bodies and their movement through this world.
I do want to acknowledge the privileges I hold as a white, mid-size, cisgender, heterosexual practitioner. My goals as a dietitian are to continue to educate myself, work on reducing harm in my practice, and understanding important issues that face those that I work with such as implicit/explicit bias, discrimination, racism, fat phobia, ableism and healthism.
I am so looking forward to working with you, getting to know you, and learning how I can support your journey through recovery, making peace with and navigating challenges surrounding food, body image and activity.

Hello! I’m Lindsay Stenovec and I’m the Principal Registered Dietitian and owner of Nutrition Instincts® San Diego Nutrition Therapy. My team and I provide nutrition counseling in the areas of eating disorders, intuitive eating, prenatal and postpartum wellness, diabetes, and family feeding coaching (including ARFID). We run a weight inclusive practice in alignment with Health at Every Size® principles. As a Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian (CEDRD) and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor I strive to provide San Diego residents with evidence-informed, weight inclusive care for those suffering from eating disorders and various levels of disordered eating due to dieting. In 2015, I founded an online nutrition resource and coaching program for moms – Intuitive Eating Moms, which includes a body positive podcast, Embodied and Well Mom Show, and a wellness membership that cultivates body confidence, self-care and a healthy relationship with food for moms and families. I received my undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree in Nutritional Science at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, completed my dietetic internship at California State University, Long Beach and completed my Master’s in Science degree in Nutritional Science at San Diego State University.
I speak regularly to professionals and parents on the topics of eating disorders, intuitive eating, child feeding, maternal self-care, pregnancy and eating disorders, and postpartum wellness. As an approved supervisor (CEDRD-S) with the International Association for Eating Disorder Professionals (iaedp), I offer professional supervision to Registered Dietitians and perinatal professionals.
My previous roles that continue to inform my current work included providing medical nutrition therapy for gestational diabetes, consulting for the government Head Start Preschool Program, teaching as an adjunct professor at a community college and being the lead dietitian for a PHP and IOP adult and adolescent eating disorder program. I provide trauma-informed care and have counseling training in motivational interviewing, somatic nutrition therapy, internal family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy – which are therapy modalities that inform the care I provide and adapt for nutrition therapy purposes while remaining within a dietitian’s scope of practice. I thoroughly enjoy living in San Diego with my husband and 3 sweet and wild boys!
