Hi, I’m Batya
For many years, you may have known me as Beth Warren — the dietitian, author and founder of Nourished by Beth.
Batya is my Hebrew name.
And as my work has evolved, returning to my name feels like returning to something deeper in myself, too.
Nourished by Beth is becoming Nourished by Batya.
Not because I’m leaving behind the work I’ve done.
Because I’m expanding into what it was always becoming.
MY WORK STARTED WITH FOOD.
For more than 16 years, I’ve worked as a Registered Dietitian helping women and families understand nutrition and create meaningful, sustainable change.
I’ve built a private practice, written two books, taught classes and workshops, spoken to audiences, appeared as a nutrition expert in the media, hosted a podcast and spent thousands of hours sitting across from people trying to change their health.
And the longer I did this work, the clearer something became.
People don’t struggle because they don’t know enough.
Often, they know a lot.
They know the foods they “should” eat.
They know the habits they’re “supposed” to change.
They may have spent years trying plans, programs and approaches — only to find themselves back in the same place.
THE FOOD WAS NEVER THE WHOLE STORY.
Our choices don’t happen in a vacuum.
They’re influenced by our histories, our stress, our beliefs, our relationships, our environments and the way we’ve learned to move through our lives.
That’s why my work has evolved beyond simply telling someone what to eat.
I still believe deeply in evidence-based nutrition.
But I also believe we have to understand the person who has to live it.
That’s Nourished by Batya.
Nutrition that looks at the whole woman.
AND YES, I LIVE THIS TOO.
I’m a mom of six with a full life, a career, family, responsibilities, wellness goals and all the unpredictability that comes with being human.
I believe deeply in caring for ourselves.
But I’ve stopped believing that self-care means perfectly controlling ourselves.
Nourishment is bigger than that.
It’s food.
It’s your body.
It’s your patterns.
It’s how you speak to yourself when things don’t go according to plan.
It’s learning what actually supports you — and creating enough flexibility to live there.
