Over summer, you might feel more pressure to ‘get summer body ready’ however this can lead to unhealthy restriction, stress and disordered eating.

This year, we are changing the focus to promote acceptance and gratitude of our bodies and what they do for us. Having this mindset, you are more likely to look after your body and mind and be more present in the moment rather than focusing on negative self talk. Ask yourself how much more joyful your summer could be if you focused on body acceptance and gratitude for all your body allows you to do, rather than letting that critical inner voice steal your peace 💜

✨ The Role of a Dietitian in eating disorder recovery 💬

Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions - and recovery takes a multidisciplinary team. One key player? 👉🏼 The Registered Dietitian (RD).

🍎 here’s how dietitian’s support recovery:

✅ nutrition rehabilitation: rebuilding a nourishing, balanced and trusting relationship with food, weight and size.

✅ meal planning: supporting regular eating patterns without fear or restriction

✅ education: understanding nutrition and health and debunking food myths and diet culture

✅ support: holding space for fears, guilt and body image concerns, and holding hope that recovery is always possible

✅ collaboration: working with eating disorder therapists, OT’s, doctors and carers

Recovery is not just about food - but nourishing your body is a key part of it ❤️
