Many individuals living with ARFID, also known as Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, struggle with meal and snack variety. Often times throughout their life they experience unwanted comments or even bullying when it comes to their food selections and preferences. It can be overwhelming to feel so isolated with food.

As a care provider that specializes in working with people in recovery from feeding and eating disorders, I'm happy to say when we start care it's not what most people expect. As part of our proven three step approach to recovery from ARFID, we simply start with our safe foods and fuel the body appropriately.

📣May is ARFID Awareness Month in the state of Kansas.
This will be the 2nd year it is honored as such.

👉ARFID stands for Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder

Did you know our friend, Rachel the SLP with Bite and Bloom Therapy, was a big part of the push for getting that decree in place? Check out her page and story about getting it enacted with the state governor.

It's Earth Day. 🌎A great way to honor our planet is by utilizing our local Farmer's Markets.
This is a nice visual resource to support knowing what veggies and fruits are in season in Kansas.

🛒Many farmers markets accept SNAP/EBT. You can look them up with the USDA SNAP Retailer Locator. Kansas actually has a program called has Double Up Food Bucks, which matches EBT spending at farmers markets for produce, allowing SNAP users to get more bang for their buck!

🚜If available at the Farmer's Market, can combine some tasty seasonal leafy veg like arugula, spinach and other salad greens with some thinly sliced radish and toss with a nice Apple Cider Vinaigrette:

Ingredients
2/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions: Combine all ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; shake well. Store in the refrigerator. Just before serving, shake dressing again.

A failure is not always a mistake. It may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.
