Intuitive eating coach and Anti-Diet Nutritionist
Find food freedom finally with Intuitive Eating and learn how to nourish yourself with Gentle Nutrition regardless of your size with Jeanette Thompson-Wessen in the UK
I will never tell you to lose weight….I know it’s controversial
Let’s face it, what I do goes completely against the norm. I am a fat (I use this as a completely neutral descriptor) nutritionist. I help people who have realised that dieting just is not for them. Whether dieting has caused disordered eating or eating disorders, or it has meant that a person realises that a life dieting is miserable and actually not sustainable.
I help people find healthy behaviours that support them regardless of their weight. This is important because we have so much research to support that healthy behaviours regardless of weight, makes a huge difference to a person’s health overall.
I have written extensive articles on this citing the research that show this here and here.

Anti-diet
You are never going to get a diet from me. I won’t ever give you a meal plan or a tell you to lose weight. I help you build in healthy behaviours that are accessible to you regardless of your weight.
Fat Positive
I know it may sound wild having the word “fat” and “positive” together. We can break down societies expectations to actually become fat positive. I work from a place where I would never ask a person to lose weight.
Health At Every Size (HAES) aligned
You deserve access to healthy behaviours regardless of your weight. You do not need to lose weight to have those behaviours. Weight loss is used as a “cure” for so many things health wise but we know that is not the case.
Intersectional feminist
Being a Nutritionist, I work with many people with marginalised bodies/identities which means I need to have knowledge around these identities and how these will impact relationship with food/health and body.
Person centered
You are important. My work is centered around you.
ADHD trained
I have ADHD and I know how much that impacts eating. Because of that, I am the person you need to help you with your ADHD and relationship with food.
“Glanced at the scales this morning and I thought I might hop on them in a minute then instantly thought “why?”??? It makes no difference to how you are going to feel about yourself or food today so why bother? ……then felt like jumping up and down….. it’s like having a constant little angel on my shoulder saying all the amazing things you have said to me….You have changed my life Jeanette, truly”
“This Christmas has been different for me food wise – I haven’t binged, I have enjoyed everything and not felt guilty and most importantly I have no intention of going on a diet now that it’s January”
“I just ate french toast! I PUT NUTELLA ON IT! NUTELLA! IT SEEMS HYPERBOLIC TO SAY THAT YOU’VE CHANGED MY LIFE, BUT I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE ”
Who is The Mindset Nutritionist?
I am Jeanette Thompson-Wessen, nutritionist, intuitive eating coach and mum of three (7, 5 and 3 year olds).
I have a BSc in Human Nutrition plus 12 years of experience in Nutrition fields and teaching children about nutrition and how to cook. I've pretty much lived nutrition my whole adult life but also, still ended up in a large body (or I like to say fat to reclaim that word for myself).
I have therapeutic training (although I am not a therapist), person first training and am ungergoing training for Eating Disorders.
My passion as an intersectional feminist is to help breakdown the systems at play that continue to harm our most oppressed and marginalised people. I am a fat liberationist and fat positive.
