Success Stories

I cannot overstate how profoundly my work with Katy Zanville has changed my life. Our work together on my relationship with food, movement, body image, diet culture, and intuitive eating has transformed me, mind, body, and soul (as cheesy as that sounds). The work we have done has given me my life back as I have found true food freedom while listening to my body and trusting myself and my inner wisdom. Katy’s approach is empathetic, nonjudgmental, informative, and clearly individualized to each client. I would recommend her and her expertise to every single person that I know!

PHILOSOPHY

FINDING PEACE WITH
FOOD AND YOUR BODY

Optimal health can be achieved without focusing on weight or body size! With Katy, you'll discover a non-diet approach to nutrition through Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size perspectives.

Together you'll build the tools necessary to achieve optimal physical, mental, and emotional health.

Paris was a dream. I ate a minimum of three desserts everyday, walked thousands of steps on cobblestone streets, shopped at Parisian flea markets, and went to bed every night with a giant smile on my face. Take the trip, life is short. (The 🧈 arrived safe and sound)

Our wedding was certainly the highlight of 2024, but I also want to highlight the celebrations with friends and family throughout the year. Feeling very lucky and grateful going into 2025. Cheers to never planning another wedding again! 🥂

I’m taking inspiration from @simplyhealthyrd and sharing 5 ways I am prepping for the week to make mealtime easier and nutrient-dense. Because let’s be honest, if it’s not prepped, it’s probably not going to happen for me 🙃

🥬 Washed, chopped, and bagged greens (with a paper towel to absorb moisture). This week at the farmers market, I bought spinach and rainbow chard.

🍓Placed berries in a container for easy access. Hot tip: do NOT wash your berries ahead of time if you want them to last longer in the fridge.

🍠 Roasted purple sweet potatoes with cumin, onion and garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pep. The plan is to make black bean and sweet potato tacos this week.

🫐 Baked some blueberry muffins for breakfast which have added protein and fiber from yogurt, flax seeds, chia seeds, and flax seeds.

🍐 Washed apples and pears for easy snacking. I like to pair fruit with a protein/fat for snacks such as a cheese stick or nut butter for blood sugar balance.

What are you making for dinner this week? If you are looking for virtual, non-diet nutrition counseling, click on the link in my bio to set up a complimentary consultation!

A special thank you to all of my incredible wedding vendors! Everything was so perfect and getting to work with my friends made it even more special 🤍

Today is a bittersweet day. After two years, hundreds of client sessions, lots of laughs, and plenty of tears this week, I’m saying goodbye to @asyouare.nutrition . I truly believe it was kismet that I opened that email two years ago and found the job posting in @calpoly nutrition alumni group (our practice owner @jessie.the.dietitian also went to Cal Poly!)

Working at this group practice has changed the way I will forever work with clients. Everyone on this team is so compassionate, kind, caring, and always meets clients where they are, as they are. I will never stop recommending @asyouare.nutrition if you are looking for an insurance-based nutrition group practice that lives and breathes their values.

I’m super excited for my next chapter in going full-time as a dietitian entrepreneur at Katy Zanville Nutrition Therapy. Let me know if you want to work one-on-one! 💛

Happy Registered Dietitian Day! Four years ago today, I was in the middle of my dietetic internship at @nyphospital in New York City when a lockdown for COVID-19 was announced. I was terrified that my education and internship would be disrupted—not knowing what my career would look like after graduation. I am so proud to be a registered dietitian working in private practice today. I get to work with the most incredible clients and be a part of their health and healing journey. What a gift 💝

Cheers to all my RD buds out there!

My private practice, Katy Zanville Nutrition Therapy, is now in network with Aetna! If you are looking to work on your relationship with food and your body or just want to review some general nutrition counseling, DM me or follow the link in my bio. If you are in network with another health insurance provider, I can submit Superbills on your behalf for potential reimbursement.

Don’t throw out limp lettuce! In order to avoid food waste, add the lettuce to a bowl of ice water for at least an hour and watch your lettuce get crisp and snappy again. Lets all do our part to reduce food waste 💙🌎

I am thrilled to announce that I started my own private practice and am now accepting clients! We will be a great match if you are interested in healing your relationship with food and body, want to implement intuitive eating in your life, struggle with disordered eating or an eating disorder, are diagnosed with PCOS, or want to work on other health diagnoses through a weight-neutral, compassionate lens. Let’s make 2024 the year that we kick diet culture to the curb.💥

I see clients virtually and am licensed in California and Tennessee. If you live in another state, DM me and we can see how we can work together.

Simply the best time in Colorado this week at the @weightinclusivenutrition conference. What a treat to see my nearest and dearest friends and connect with other anti-diet dietitians. Grateful for the crisp fall weather, yellow leaves, and heartwarming chats 🥰🥹🍃🍂

Surprised under my parent’s lemon tree, in the backyard where I grew up, by a man that I get to love every single day…forever 💍❤️

Love you so much, Chris. Thank you @jenniekwondesigns for designing the most beautiful ring where we incorporated my great aunt’s diamond. It’s so perfect. And thanks to my family for keeping this secret and helping Chris pull it all off. I loved that you were a part of our special day.

Okay, going back to crying tears of joy now 🥹🥰

Celebrating the culinary queen of our nation today and everyday. Happy 4th from @inagarten and me! 🎉❤️🤍💙

I’ve been reading @bonappetitmag since I was a child flipping through my mom’s collection of Thanksgiving issues. It’s a dream come true to be included in this publication where I share my opinion on the carnivore diet🥩.

Unsurprisingly, I don’t recommend any diet—let alone one consisting of only meat, water, and salt and recommend eating your veggies 🙃🥦🥕🥬🍠.

2022➡️2023
Ready for another year with more belly laughs, love, and craveable food.

Honored to be quoted in @forbes Health about my opinion on Slim Fast Diets. I guess I no longer qualify for 30 under 30 😆. Thank you to @tobyamidor for including me!

I get so frustrated when I receive a referral from a doctor to “please evaluate and treat for weight loss because they need to lose weight before surgery considered for chronic knee pain”. Would they have any doubt performing weight loss surgery on this patient? How can they add in movement when they can’t even walk around to prepare food for themselves? Why would you prescribe MALNUTRITION (calorie restriction) before a major surgery?! Do better, doctors. Stop gate-keeping surgery and oppressing people in larger bodies.

Some ✨professional✨ news. I’m excited to let everyone know that I have joined the team at As You Are Nutrition based in Napa, CA! @asyouare.nutrition is aligned with my values by providing compassionate, non-judgmental, non-diet care while expanding access through accepting health insurance. In addition to being in network with private health insurance companies, we also accept Medi-Cal (Northern California Medicaid) and Medicare. I’ll continue to see clients virtually here in Los Angeles via telehealth.

I’ve really loved my time at @nashvillenutritionpartners and recommend them to anyone in the Tennessee area looking for nutrition counseling. They are an exceptional group of clinicians and humans and I’m so grateful NNP was my first dietitian job. Looking forward to establishing roots here in my home state of California while helping clients improve their relationship with food and their bodies. Let me know if you are interested in working together!

Never felt so in awe of California. What a gift to live here 💛

Thrilled to be included in this diet culture episode of Meat and Three on @heritage_radio —a station dedicated to all things food based in Brooklyn, NY. Support #FoodRadio and check out this episode wherever you listen to podcasts!

No matter what you are yesterday, you still deserve (and should!) eat today. Restricting food will only lead to eating past comfortable fullness later on. Eat consistently. Eat foods you enjoy.

This lady, my incredible sister, just passed her real estate exam and I could not be MORE proud! She bought her first condo. She pivoted her 90s event company in the middle of a pandemic to be 100% virtual. She changed careers after being in the foodservice industry for 20 years. She studied every day and worked so hard to follow her dreams of becoming a real estate agent. And she did it! All on her own. With the support of her family of course. We love you, @sarazanville 💛💛

Did someone say #NationalIceCreamDay ?? Just a friendly PSA to go get some ice cream on this beautiful Sunday!🍦🍨

Central Coast California Appreciation Post 💛

Palm Springs. Joshua Tree. Pool. Desert. Great weekend ✌️🌵🌞

Our sweet cat Scooter passed away unexpectedly this week 💔.

I never considered myself a cat person until I moved back home last November. I grew up with cats but my favorite pet was definitely our dog Roxie (apologies to my previous cats). I actually discovered that I was allergic to cats when I was living in New York for the past 10 years. I used to keep my parent’s cats 6 feet away from me when I would visit them in LA.

But Scooter stole my heart. Since moving in with my parents as I transition back to Los Angeles, I have felt so connected to this cat. The way he laid on my chest and purred so loudly. Or how any time I would open the pantry door, he came running, anticipating a cat treat. I would open up my blinds every morning so that he could sit on my record player and look out the window. Which he did. Every day.

It feels like there is a stigma against grieving for pets in the same way we do for humans. But I’m here to say that the pain is real for us and I am holding space for anyone else that has lost a pet recently. Feel the feels [I’ve cried every day since he died]. Share memories with loved ones. And remember how lucky we are to have had them in our lives 💛.

Happy #piday !! Remembering when my cousin @shaunanevens made me my favorite chocolate pudding pie with a graham cracker crust for my birthday last year. What’s your favorite pie flavor? I’ll throw in lemon meringue as another fave 😍🥧............📸 @littlebex05

Can we stop demonizing processed foods?!

Or as I like to refer to them, “shortcut” foods.

Think about disabled people who aren’t able to chop whole fruits and vegetables or make spaghetti from scratch. Consider folks with limited access to supermarkets or fresh produce and need non-perishable foods to survive. Processing foods often preserve foods that would spoil faster. I have clients with disordered eating who have been restricting for long periods and are finally excited and able to eat consistently with the help of shortcut foods. The wellness industry and diet culture want us to believe that food deprivation is healthier than eating foods in the middle aisles. That is simply not true. And I’m not just referring to canned beans and frozen broccoli. Satisfaction with eating without shame and guilt is essential to forming a healthy relationship with food. So, please, eat the mac and cheese.

Friendly reminder that movement doesn’t have to be about punishing your body, you don’t have to work out to earn food, and cats really enjoy yoga mats ✌️

Apple cider baked donuts dipped in cinnamon sugar🍎🍩

These were so light and fluffy 😍. I love that when you practice Intuitive Eating you can have 18 donuts in your house and not feel tempted to eat all of them at once. Did I eat two that were still warm from the oven? You bet I did! Did I feel the desire to eat 6 more after dinner? Nope 🙅🏻‍♀️ I felt satisfied with what I had earlier and I can tune in to eating them when I actually want and desire them versus eating them because donuts will never be in my house again.

((Please note my butter and cinnamon sugar skills which I learned from working at @sprinklescupcakes for ten years. 😂 My former colleagues know the best hidden secret was eating a fresh, warm cinnamon sugar cupcake ))

I had a rough day yesterday. I’ve been in LA for a month now and, while I love being closer to my family, it’s been difficult to not feel settled while also missing my friends back east. I couldn’t even watch Great British Bake Off without crying?! Turns out, moving across the country in the middle of a pandemic after being in the same city for 10 years can take a toll on your mental health.

A fellow non-diet dietitian, @rachaelhartleyrd , came up with a great coping mechanism for dealing with tough times—a ✨self-care toolkit✨. Think of it as a list (I like to keep a note on my phone) of actions you can refer to when you are feeling down. That’s exactly what I had to dig into yesterday in order to get out of my funk.

Here’s how to build your own self-care toolkit:

🧘🏻‍♀️Soothing tools {deep breathing, essential oils, meditation, long bath}

📞Connection tools {call a friend/family member, schedule a friend zoom, reach out and let someone know you are struggling}

🤗Joyful tools {dance party, listen to a podcast, bake, watch a favorite TV show}

⚡️Energizing tools {get some joyful movement, drink a comforting cup of coffee, eat food!}

🖋Processing tools {book an appointment with your therapist (✅), journal, cry, body scan to see what you are feeling in your body}

What are you going to put in your #selfcare toolkit?

Any other Dim Sum lovers out there? 🙋🏻‍♀️ As a kid, I remember being obsessed with dumplings. My family and I used to go to Chinatown on Sundays in Los Angeles. I have such fond memories of watching the employees push carts around, taking a peek inside the steamer to see which dishes we wanted to order. Grateful that these restaurants offer food to go during this time 🙏.

What’s your favorite Dim Sum dish to order? 🥟💫

Katy Zanville, MS, RD ✨

Three years ago, I decided to leave my secure job in the foodservice industry to go back to school and achieve a dream I’ve had since I was young. And now, after obtaining a bachelor’s degree in nutrition, a master’s degree in nutrition, a year-long dietetic internship, and passing the registered dietitian exam this week, I am now *officially* a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist!

Can’t tell you how excited I am to finally use these credentials! It’s never too late to finish what you started, especially if it means you can be passionate and fulfilled in your career. I have so much gratitude for my family and friends for their continued support during this life transition. Thrilled to call Los Angeles home again beginning in November! (Celebrating with @sprinklescupcakes to bring it full circle🧁)

One full year, 14 rotations, and 1 global pandemic later, I’ve officially completed my dietetic internship at @nyphospital !! Renal, oncology, cardiac, diabetes, ambulatory, medicine/surgery, food service, behavioral health, pediatrics, nutrition support, digestive disease, critical care, neurology, and burn—all trained at the #4 hospital in the country. I’m so proud of what I’ve accomplished and even more proud to be a part of the NYP family. My fellow interns were an incredible group of women and I know they will move on to be rockstars in this profession. Next step is passing the RD exam and moving back to the city of angels next month🌴😎🌟

My life hasn’t exactly been linear. I graduated from college with a bachelor’s degree in nutrition, but didn’t want to become a dietitian when I finished. I started a ten-year career in the foodservice industry selling, of all things, cupcakes.

When I hit a ceiling with career growth and started feeling unhappy with my job, I trusted my intuition to return to my roots and finally get my credentials to be a registered dietitian. Learning about #intuitiveeating helped me with #intuitiveliving. When you are able to trust your gut and listen to your body, you can make choices in life to be your best, true self.

I chatted with @yates_victoria_ and @katherine.herbison on the latest episode of @embracingbalancepodcast all about my journey in changing careers and having interoceptive awareness. Thanks for having me, ladies! 💫

As a future #RD2Be, I recognize that I am entering a field that is made up of mostly white women. Therefore it is important—especially now—to #amplifymelanatedvoices .

Thank you @blackandembodied and @jessica.wilson.msrd for organizing this challenge. I’m going to take this time to listen, reflect, and educate myself. Check out these accounts and let me know if you have others you would like to share:
