Here is my Nutrition Philosophy

• I am here today to help you see if we are a good match in your quest to find a virtual dietitian!
• Food should always taste good!
• Meal time should be enjoyable for the whole family.
• Cut out as much artificial foods, processed junk food, pre-made meals, etc. as possible.
• Never grocery shop on an empty stomach.
• There are no “bad foods" or “good foods." Just “once in a while foods" and “better choice" foods. All foods should fit within a well-balanced eating pattern!
• Our diet isn’t something that defines us.
• Eat more plants.
• The eat less, move more mentality behind weight loss doesn’t work. There are more factors at play.
• Our gut is central to our health and needs to be taken care of.
• Variety is the spice of life and PHASING is key!!

My name is Ashley Sweeney, MS, RD. I was born and raised in Michigan but I have moved all over the world for school, work, and my husband’s career in the Army. 

We are currently stationed overseas. I am married to my best friend Patrick, and we have three beautiful daughters!!

As for my background, I went through a four year accredited educational program at Syracuse University in Nutrition & Dietetics where I earned my Bachelors Degree. I was then put through an intensive application process and was accepted to Case Western Reserve University’s Nutrition Department in Cleveland, Ohio. Here I completed my Dietetic Internship & Masters in Public Health Nutrition program. My specialty was in Maternal & Child Nutrition. I later became a Certified Lactation Specialist. Working with women, mothers & babies has always been a passion of mine! I love helping women feel confident and secure in their own body! I am also a member of the Integrative & Functional Nutrition Academy, Dietitians in Functional Medicine, and active researcher for all things nutrition & health! Now I work full time for Phase It Up by 131 Method. View my Services

Eating healthy is not something that always came easy to me. I had to teach myself how to fuel my body for the exercise I was doing, what nutrients my body needed, how to lose and maintain my goal weight, and how to get all the essential nutrients. After struggling with a high school eating disorder that followed me to college, it took me years to get to a place where I am comfortable and confident in my body and my health. I am very open and transparent on my social media and blog about my past as I believe it brought me to where I am today.  You can find me on Facebook @Ashley.Sweeney.Nutrition or Instagram @AshleySweeneyRD.
