Hi!
Welcome to our June newsletter! As summer heats up, we’re sharing seasonal tips, fresh updates, and thoughtful insights to support your health and wellness journey.
We’re proud to celebrate both Pride Month and Men’s Health Week—two important reminders of the value of inclusive, proactive care for all. We’re also taking a moment to honor Father’s Day and all the father figures who support, nurture, and inspire us year-round.
You’ll also find a quick breakdown on the difference between a Registered Dietitian and a Nutritionist, so you can make informed choices when seeking nutrition support.
Looking to shake up your routine? Explore our DIY meal planning guide for flexible, no-stress ideas you can actually stick to. And now that the temperatures are rising, our Hydration 101 feature offers practical tips to keep your body cool, nourished, and energized through the heat.
This month, we’re also highlighting a few of our trusted providers—people we rely on and refer to when it comes to whole-person care.
We’re so glad you’re here, and we hope this issue inspires you to care for yourself in new, sustainable ways all summer long.
Healthy love,
Your Team @ Doherty Nutrition
This Pride Month, we celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and reaffirm our commitment to inclusive, stigma-free nutrition care. At Doherty Nutrition, we know safe and respectful support is essential to your mental and physical health. As highlighted in a recent Rupa Health article, LGBTQIA+ affirming care can improve health outcomes by addressing the unique barriers many individuals face. That’s why we prioritize care that respects your identity—whether you’re focusing on body image, gender-affirming goals, or simply want a provider who truly sees and supports you.
June is also Men’s Health Month, and we recognize that LGBTQIA+ men—including trans men and nonbinary folks—face unique health challenges. Our team offers compassionate, evidence-based support tailored to your needs.
Meet our affirming dietitians and discover how we create safe spaces for every body and identity. Click here to learn more.
