Our Misson
“Spoon Theory,” conceived by writer Christine Miserandino, illustrates the finite physical and mental energy available to individuals, particularly those with disabilities and complex health conditions. More Spoons LLC is dedicated to providing quality care for individuals who are neurodivergent or those with disabilities, empowering them to make dietary changes to improve their health. More Spoons Nutrition is a body-positive, healthy at every size aligned, neurodiversity-affirming, LGBTQIA+ inclusive, and integrative nutrition practice.
Our Approach
- At More Spoons Nutrition, we don’t believe bodies or minds need to be “fixed.” We provide nutrition care that honors neurodivergent, disabled, and chronically ill people as they are—while still taking symptoms, physiology, and quality of life seriously.
- Our goal is to help you feel more comfortable, nourished, and supported in your body, using care that is practical, evidence-based, and responsive to real-life constraints like sensory differences, fatigue, executive function, and access.
- Our work is grounded in conventional medical nutrition therapy, informed by a strong background in Western medicine, and thoughtfully integrates functional and systems-based nutrition approaches when they are clinically appropriate. We prioritize interventions that are realistic, research-informed, and aligned with your individual needs—not one-size-fits-all plans or idealized versions of “health.”
- We use food, targeted nutrition strategies, and supplements when they are indicated and supported by evidence.
Meet our Dietitian
A die-hard foodie, Melinda (“Mel”) Jones is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and Physician Associate (PA-C) with over 15 years of combined clinical experience in medical and nutrition care. Their work is informed by both professional training and lived experience as a neurodivergent individual with a complex chronic condition.
Mel completed a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics at San Francisco State University and a Master of Physician Assistant Studies at Northern Arizona University. This dual training provides a strong foundation in pathophysiology, diagnostics, and clinical reasoning, which informs their nutrition practice and interdisciplinary collaboration.
More Spoons Nutrition is a dietetics-only practice, and Mel practices and bills exclusively in their role as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. This allows for clear scope, ethical practice, and a focused commitment to advanced nutrition care, while drawing on their medical education to support evidence-based decision-making and effective coordination with healthcare providers.
Mel has advanced training in integrative and functional nutrition and is a member of the Integrative and Functional Nutrition Dietetics Practice Group of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Their clinical interests include nutrition support for disabled individuals, neurodivergent clients, ARFID and disordered eating, gastrointestinal conditions, food allergies and intolerances, autoimmune conditions, and mental and behavioral health.
Outside of work, Mel enjoys playing hot club–style jazz guitar and hiking with their basset hounds.
