She sees clients with eating behavior, mental health, and GI challenges using a weight inclusive functional medicine lens. In her job as co-founder and clinical supervisor at Clinician's Incubator, she provides case consultations and mentoring for nutrition professionals. She sees clients at Nutrition Hive, and loves dogs, books, and tea, as well as a good joke and well placed swear word. Learn more about Meg here, and find her on Facebook @nutritionhive and on Instagram @nutritionhive.heath.
