This is the clinical profile of knowing something is seriously wrong, yet being convinced that knowing something is wrong and qualifying for help are two entirely different things. Of being sure that you fall firmly into the first category and not the second. This is the particular cruelty of atypical anorexia.

Reach out today with questions or to schedule an intake assessment.

Spring is in full swing! 🌷

There might be a voice inside your head urging you to change your body through restriction or excessive exercise. We are here to remind you that you're wonderful just the way you are, and you can enjoy the warmer weather, change in wardrobe, and outdoor activities without changing anything first. 💗

One large study found striking results among early adolescents. Nearly 52 percent of girls ages 13 to 14 who had a social media account reported disordered eating behaviors, such as skipping meals, restrictive eating, or compulsive exercise. Alarmingly, 45 percent of boys in the same age group reported similar patterns.

These findings challenge the outdated belief that eating disorders primarily affect girls and women. Instead, they highlight how appearance-focused social media environments can influence eating behaviors across genders, particularly during critical stages of identity development.

t’s no longer surprising to hear that social media use is linked to body image concerns and eating disorders. Let’s look at what the research tells us.

It's difficult to talk about food and body image, and even more so if disordered eating is at play. Sometimes comments that come from the best intention can still cause harm. In a society that encourages restriction and glorifies thinness, these alternatives to hurtful comments are worth a try!

What else would be helpful to add to the list?

March is National Nutrition Month, and we want to take a moment to recognize all the different things that dietitians do for people with eating disorders and beyond. It's not just calculating need and making meal plans – dietitians work hard to incorporate the physical and mental aspects of recovery to support you to a healthy future.

What else does your dietitian do for you?

The drive that makes someone exceptional at sport and the psychological conditions that sustain an eating disorder overlap in ways that sport culture has not historically examined honestly. Screening for eating disorders is not standard practice in most athletic programs, and the professionals closest to athletes often lack the training to recognize the difference between disordered eating and dedicated athletic preparation.

Eating disorders affect athletes at every level of competition, at rates that exceed the general population, and they are treatable. Learn more.
