TLB Nutrition Therapy Handouts
At TLB Nutrition Therapy, we believe that access to nutrition education shouldn't be limited by insurance coverage, finances, or location. That's why we've created a growing library of free educational handouts and YouTube videos designed to provide reliable, evidence-based nutrition information to anyone who needs it.
Our resources have been thoughtfully developed by the registered dietitians and staff at TLB Nutrition Therapy and reflect our commitment to compassionate, inclusive, and evidence-based care. They cover a variety of topics, including eating disorders, intuitive eating, body image, chronic health conditions, sports nutrition, family feeding, women's health, and more. Whether you're a current client, a healthcare provider, or simply looking to learn, our goal is to make nutrition education approachable, practical, and accessible.
These resources are provided for educational purposes only and are not intended to replace individualized medical or nutrition advice. We encourage you to work with your healthcare provider or registered dietitian to determine the recommendations that are most appropriate for your unique needs.
We know that healing doesn't just happen during appointments. By offering these resources at no cost, we hope to empower individuals, families, and communities with the knowledge and tools they need to support their relationship with food, body, and health.
We invite you to explore our free handouts and YouTube library and share them with anyone who may benefit. Together, we can increase access to compassionate, inclusive nutrition care—one resource at a time. 💜

Body Respect — Caring for Your Body Without Having to Love It
At TLB Nutrition Therapy, body respect can show up through food, movement, and body image. With food, it may mean eating consistently, avoiding restriction or compensation, honoring hunger when possible, and choosing foods that provide energy and satisfaction. With movement, it means shifting away from exercise as punishment and toward movement that feels supportive, while recognizing the importance of rest and recovery.
Recovery Isn't One-Size-Fits-All
Our Levels of Recovery handout outlines five flexible stages, ranging from High Structure, High Support to Sustained Recovery. Along the way, individuals may rely on meal plans, schedules, body cues, or support systems in different ways. The framework also recognizes that some neurodivergent individuals may continue to benefit from lifelong routines and structure—and that this is not a sign of failure, but simply an individualized path to recovery.
Your Story Matters: Understanding the Life Tiers Framework
Our Life Tiers Worksheet provides a structured way to reflect on each phase of life while considering questions such as what was happening during that time, how you felt about yourself, and what your relationship with food, body, and movement looked like. The goal isn't to judge your past—it's to better understand it so you can move forward with greater self-compassion.
Disordered Eating Deserves Attention, Too
Our Disordered Eating handout outlines common signs, explains why these behaviors matter, and offers practical next steps toward healing. Recovery isn't reserved for those who are "sick enough." If thoughts about food, body image, or exercise are taking up significant mental space or affecting your daily life, you deserve support.
Meet Yourself Where You Are with Capacity-Based Meal Planning
Our Capacity-Based Meal Planning handout walks you through creating meal options for low-, medium-, and high-capacity days. Rather than seeing convenience foods as a failure, this framework encourages having nourishing options available at every level—from ready-made sandwiches and yogurt on low-capacity days to homemade meals when you have more energy. The goal isn't perfection—it's making nourishment more accessible, no matter what your day looks like.
