Healthanie offers nutrition and nervous system-based support for for overeating, binge eating, and food addiction.
This work is grounded in a simple understanding: Binge eating isn’t random. It’s chemistry meeting context.
Eating that feels out of control is often the body’s attempt to regulate — not a personal failure or a food problem.
Rather than focusing on restriction, rules, or discipline, this work centers neurochemistry, pattern awareness, and practical rituals so regulation can return and eating can settle more naturally.
About
The work
-
Healthanie supports thoughtful, capable individuals who feel out of control around food. Food thoughts feel constant. Overeating feels compulsive.
This is not a weight-loss program or a meal plan.
It is a structured, nervous-system based approach for those who want to reduce food noise, stabilize overeating patterns, and rebuild trust with their body.

Stephanie Pasewaldt, also known as Healthanie, is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) with a Master of Public Health and a background in behavior change support and crisis intervention.
Her work integrates formal training in nutrition and neurochemistry with lived experience navigating dysregulated eating and food noise, including personal struggles with binge eating disorder and food addiction.
She specializes in helping people understand the neurochemical drivers behind overeating — including dopamine rhythms, cortisol load, and nervous system regulation — so food no longer feels like a constant battle.
Rather than approaching eating through control or willpower, Stephanie works from a neurochemistry-first lens: when the nervous system stabilizes, behavior follows.
-
Nutritional therapy is an individualized, capacity-based approach that supports regulation through food, nutrients, and lifestyle.
Rather than focusing on restriction or control, its principle work is to stabilize the systems that influence eating behavior, including blood sugar, stress hormones, dopamine rhythms, and nervous system load.
When these systems are supported, food becomes less urgent, less magnetic, and more steady.
The goal is regulation — so eating feels supportive instead of something you have to fight. -
