Permission To EAT

I integrate a non-diet nutrition and eating approach for those struggling with an unhealthy relationship with food so they can improve their health and enhance the quality of life.

Meet Lindsay

Hi! I am Lindsay Ford, MS, RD. Thanks for stopping by and and taking time out of your busy life. I have been a Registered Dietitian for over ten years and here is a little bit about me:

I was raised in what some say is the heart of it all, the great state of Ohio. I landed at Ball State University to play Division I soccer and pursued an undergraduate degree in Exercise Science.

My experiences as a collegiate athlete inspired me to pursue the field of nutrition. I received my Master’s Degree in Nutrition and completed my Dietetic Internship in 2012.

Following schooling, I moved to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. I worked as a Registered Dietitian and Certified Wellness Coach for three years at Hilton Head Health. There, I was able to work with hundreds of guests that had spent years and years dieting and weight cycling. The Blue Ridge Mountains eventually called my family’s name, and I began working at a residential eating disorder facility located in Brevard, North Carolina. This position gave me intensive experience working with eating disorders - everything from anorexia nervosa to binge-eating disorder. I worked with adults, adolescents and families.

After gaining valuable experience in the eating disorder realm, I was brought on to eventually become the Director of Nutrition for Skyterra Wellness. I helped develop the Freedom with Food program as well as collaborating with staff to create a healing environment for Skyterra’s guests.

My hope and mission is to continue to help individuals heal and recover from short-term or long-term battles with disordered eating and eating disorders. I live with my husband, daughter and two dogs.
