Bend Your Nutrition

Find Your Happy & Healthy

Why Nutrition?

Food fuels our body. Our body is a working machine that needs properly prepared, nutrient dense, whole food to create energy and keep us going day to day. Without proper nutrition, we may feel a lack of energy, joint or muscle pain, digestive distress, headaches, mood fluctuations, food sensitivities and more. Are you eating the right foods to fuel your body?

What I Can Do For You

I am a Functional and Holistic Nutritional Therapist serving clients virtually as well as clients in Stayton, Sublimity, Salem, Silverton and the surrounding areas! My goal is to help women naturally manage chronic abdominal pain, bloating, fatigue, and joint pain, so they can feel more confident in their body, increase their energy and get back to enjoying the things they love.

Whether you can’t poop, have terrible gas, get headaches, are tired all the time, or just want to eat and feel better, I’m your gal! 😊 There are endless symptoms that can stem from the health of our digestive system and food sensitivities. I offer customized plans to help you get to the bottom of what’s causing your unexplained and uncomfortable symptoms. I provide a holistic and functional approach to nutrition and will assess the body's whole system, not just individual symptoms.

I use a whole-body approach with my clients, teaching them healthier eating and lifestyle habits through nutritional coaching and accountability, as well as the importance of sleep, stress management, mindset, exercise, safer household products and cleaner cosmetics. Lab tests such as digestive testing and food/chemical sensitivity testing, along with supplemental support may also be used to help bring the body back into balance. I thoroughly enjoy my work and love seeing the positive changes my clients make on their journey to better health and healing. Check out my Services page to learn more about the nutritional therapy services I offer to clients virtually as well as in the Salem, Stayton, Sublimity, Silverton and surrounding areas!

Happy Clients

"I’ve continued with no gluten or dairy and I am still feeling really well. I can also pinpoint foods that cause any bloating or discomfort so easily now since I have “practiced” noticing and writing in the food journal with Megan. She is wonderful to work with, supportive, easy to understand, and I learned so much in the process.”

Kim

"I recently worked with Megan Basl and want to share with her potential clients her professionalism, support and knowledge. What she doesn’t have at her fingertips she thoroughly researches and always provides a workable plan. She never makes you feel pressured. She is discreet and organized giving her clients individualized service to meet their needs. I heartily recommend her to anyone considering managing their diet, weight and medicine."

Sue

"Recently I was diagnosed with Pre-diabetes & currently have hypertension which I’ve known about but have been trying to reduce my BP naturally. I was very fortunate to know that Megan is a nutritionist & asked her advice on how to reverse my insulin resistance to prevent full blown Type 2 Diabetes & lower my blood pressure. She has given me professional advice on how & what to change in my diet. She also mentioned that my chocolate cravings could be due to a magnesium deficiency. I had a blood test & discovered I was deficient in potassium & low in magnesium. I’ve since done some research on magnesium & discovered that it helps to keep blood pressure in check. I’ve begun my new diet, magnesium & potassium regimen & it has worked to lower my blood pressure. I still need to have my A1C checked again. Thanks to Megan, I’m back on the road to good health & awareness. I will not hesitate to use her professional services again. She is awesome to work with & very helpful."

Cindy

"I have been working with Megan for several months now and I have never felt better, ever. I have had gut issues and ADD symptoms my whole life. I have been seen by medical and naturopathic doctors. I was not showing any significant signs of improvement until I started working with Megan. She doesn't cut any corners which makes her protocols more effective the first time around. She helps make things easier by suggesting food substitutes that I found to curb the craving, to be just as good and things that are better that I would have never of tried otherwise. It has been a wonderful and life changing experience. I feel I am back to normal human being levels 🙂 I plan on working with her more to optimize my health as I can only imagine what it feels like to feel better than I do now."

Austin

"Megan is a kind and caring person that has been there anytime I have needed her. I am impressed by her willingness to research questions that may not have an easy answer in order provide me with all the information I need to succeed. It has been a long time coming for me to start to feel better and I am on the road to being healthy. We still have a long way to go, but I have all the confidence with Megan’s help I will reach my goal."

Sherri

"After trying many fad diets, no-fat-low fat, low carb etc… with little or no results, having blood pressure readings of 170/130 and being obese, I was blessed into the hands of Bend Your Nutrition. Working with Megan and her non-judgmental compassionate care, I went from 260 pounds to my current weight of 175 pounds. My blood pressure has decreased and the education I’ve received from Bend Your Nutrition is priceless. From how my body reacts to salt and all sugars, finding my food sensitivities and addressing them, coming up with a supplement program customized for me and teaching me a proper nutritional diet for not only myself but also for my family. Professional, compassionate, non-judgmental care and Megan’s never give up attitude is what works for me. Thanks Megan! Thanks Bend Your Nutrition!"

Guy

"How would you like to be able to fit into clothes you haven’t been able to wear for years? Megan Basl, BS, NTP, RWP, my Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, got me back into a bikini at age 51! Following her guidance, I went from a size 6 to a size 2, lost 25 lbs. and have had to buy new pants and belts."
