About Tess

Hi! I’m Tess Han AKA @forktofuel. I’m a Seattle-based registered dietitian and recipe developer, lover of all things food, dogs, and coffee. I strive to focus on creating nourishing yet accessible recipes, simplifying cooking, and discussing topics on health and wellness.

My curiosity with nutrition and wellness began in college as I was on a personal journey to reach the pinnacle of health. I gracefully fell into the diet culture trap and didn’t even realize it. The joy of eating was hijacked by my obsessive and disordered thoughts around food and my body. Regardless of my training to become a dietitian, I was unable to recognize these patterns as disordered. In fact, they were only normalized and became exacerbated during that period of time. Eventually, I discovered intuitive eating and Health at Every Size (HAES) with the start of my career working with individuals who suffer from an eating disorder. I was able to heal my relationship with food and my body despite not knowing these relationships needed healing at the time.

My goal is to help redefine what health means for you. I’m here to help reject the diet mentality in order to respect the body that you’re in and show you that food can be fun instead of something to be feared. To ditch the fixation with the number on the scale and the guilt and shame for “failing” yet another diet. I’m so happy you’re here, let’s grab a fork and get to fueling!
