Hi, my name is Jonah! I am a Registered Dietitian (RD) here to help you to feel fit and achieve a healthy weight.
Are you a teen struggling to achieve or maintain a healthy weight? One of the hardest groups of people to help in our nutrition office in Massachusetts with weight are teens! Yikes! However, we are trying a new way to reach you so that you can be successful.
Here is how it works:
- Ask Jonah your questions using the form below. Questions can be on how to help your child achieve a healthy weight or on general advice regarding daily nutrition or weight struggles. You can also call in your questions by leaving a voicemail at 617-297-2717. If you call in a question, we will use your voice on the podcast unless you tell us not to so. Please do not use your last name, and feel free to be anonymous or make up a fake name.
- Jonah will answer your questions in a future podcast, which you can listen to for free either on this site or on iTunes.
Why consider listening to the podcasts? This environment is a safe place for you to ask a nutrition professional questions related to nutrition or weight without fear of judgment. Also, hearing a real person’s voice answer your questions establishes a better relationship between us and your family. Listening to the questions and answers of other parents or kids may also help to keep you motivated as well as educated on how to be successful. The best part is that every family has their own formula for success, so you can listen and figure out what works best for your family.

In addition to the podcasts:
- Consider working with a health care provider whom you like and you feel knows how to help you and the family
- Getting our book or CD on how to achieve a healthy weight by eating healthfully (see Store)
- Arranging for an appointment with us at Foundation Family Nutrition in person if you live in Massachusetts (typically covered by insurance) or set up a nutrition consultation by phone. Call 617-577-0020 for more information.
