I ask a general nutritional question on my intake form (I use a
modified version of the Rolf Institute's form). Something like "What
is your current diet?" For the most part, it tells me how much
attention the client pays to their diet, exercise, well-being, etc.

Although I haven't made any associations with diet and our work, I
wonder about diet and "embodyment". If someone's nutritional needs
aren't being met because of a specific diet, would that person have a
harder time being in their body? These questions have nothing to do
with clients and are only background musings.

I'm not trained in nutrition at all, so I don't say anything about it
in the context of a session. If a client asks such questions, I
defer answering them. I do have a client who was a nutritionist and
could refer out to her if need be.
