's Success Story

California

My dietitian has been with me every step of the way the last year and a half as I have battled my eating disorder and countless other health issues that I have. Oftentimes, my doctor or other health care professionals will only focus on the problem that they are treating me for, but my dietitian has really considered everything about my health and life when determining the best path forward for my treatment.

Having an eating disorder can be really complicated, and sometimes other doctors do not understand exactly what I am going through. They’ll ask me questions or prescribe treatment plans that go completely against all the progress I’ve been able to make with my eating disorder. Every time I have had an issue, my dietitian has been there to speak with my doctors to ensure I am getting the best treatment across the board.

I finally feel like I have a champion who believes in me, and my dietitian believing in me has allowed me to believe in myself. The progress I’ve made in 18 months is more than I could have imagined, and I cannot wait to continue my journey with Nourish.

I always let my eating disorder define me, but for once I finally feel in control

Texas

I have had a long battle with my eating disorder, with time spent with dietitians in both residential and outpatient care. I had felt like I was at a pretty good place in my recovery, but then during Covid everything took a turn for the worse. I was quickly slipping back into some of my bad habits. I was stuck in an overly structured recovery program and I needed to find a new approach that worked for me.

After reading up on Nourish, I realized that it was the perfect fit for me - it wasn’t just a one-size-fits-all approach. My dietitian was exactly what I needed to finally start to feel more confident in my ED recovery progress. She has been incredibly compassionate and supportive throughout our time together. She knows about my unique battle with ED, and takes into account my personal preferences in every meeting we have together. She also never judges me for anything I say or do and makes sure I view our sessions together as a safe and supportive space to open up.

I know not every day will be easy, but since starting with Nourish I’ve had more wins than I can ever remember having before. I feel confident that I’ve found the right match to always support me when I struggle, and ultimately help me overcome my battle with ED. I never imagined I would be in such a good place and am finally so excited to see where the future takes me!

Touchpoints

When it comes to nutrition therapy for eating disorders, it’s important you see the progress you’re making and we know that sometimes it’s hard to see how far you’ve come. We're here to help you deal with the stress and emotional challenges you experience throughout eating disorder nutrition therapy. We have worked in regular touch points for reflection, celebration, and planning next steps so you always know where you’ve been, where you’re at and where you’re heading.

Mindfulness

When you slow down and notice patterns, the recovery healing process can feel like it’s working. Mindfulness is a core tenant to our process and will play an integral role in your healing. Mindfulness behavior training while undergoing nutrition for eating disorders therapy improves mental awareness, sensitivity, recall, and reaction to internal body signals and your relationship to food. To center ourselves and foster mindfulness, we incorporate brief practices in sessions that you can easily work into your life.

Support

Our dietitians will be with you every step of the way - both inside and outside of your sessions. As part of nutrition education for eating disorders, it is essential to spend time in healthy social settings, have meaningful conversations, and connect with a supportive mentor. Those undergoing nutrition intervention for eating disorders counseling need external support, which reduces the risk of developing medical issues, such as depression or anxiety. Our RDs will always be ready to help support you through any roadblocks and be right there beside you to celebrate all your wins.

When I first met with a Nourish dietitian, I was expecting the same treatment as usual. Any specialist I had met told me to just not eat certain foods, have a structured meal plan, and my problems would go away. All the recommendations felt so generic, and I was incredibly tired of hearing that my only option was to eat only a few ‘clean’ foods for the rest of my life. Instead, my dietitian listened to my whole history and all the issues that I was experiencing, then worked together with me to develop our plan of attack. I was tired of having the same experience over and over again - I needed someone who would actually improve my life and found that here.

Since that first meeting, my dietitian has completely changed my view around food. I’ve been able to work with her to find out what food, patterns, and other factors influence my stomach pain.

Every dietitian I had used prior had just given me suggestions on what to change, with no real plan or guide for how to implement the changes. My Nourish dietitian is the first one who has actually helped guide me through a true lifestyle change, and has been supportive and by my side every step of the way. Now, I virtually never have stomach pain, and on top of that, I have a much healthier and well-rounded mindset towards food in general.

Before I started with Nourish, diabetes was seriously hurting my entire life. My A1C was much higher than I was hoping and it was creating stress and pain. I really did not feel like myself, so I was desperate to find a solution that worked for me. Luckily, I found Nourish online and was able to get the perfect dietitian that would work for my specific situation.

From day 1, Nourish helped turn my life around. Yes, my dietitian was incredibly knowledgable about type 2 diabetes, but more importantly, she also took a big interest in my whole life. She helped me better understand my own diagnosis and where that fit into my overall nutritional journey. We worked together to create a clear path forward that made sense for me. It was the first time in my life that I truly felt like I understood my diabetes, and it has had a lasting impact on my mental wellness.

I am so thankful that my dietitian was able to help me in such an impactful way. I’ve already seen my A1C drop 3 points, but perhaps most importantly, I am starting to finally like I am in control. Without Nourish, I know I’d still be feeling completely physically and emotionally drained. I have felt so much better mentally and physically since I started seeing a dietitian with Nourish.

The part of her care team that my daughter Becca always struggled with the most was her dietitian, because that was the one member who was forcing the most change. That’s why I was so thrilled when Becca actually came to me about a new RD that she had seen on instagram - I thought there may finally be an opportunity for Becca to connect with her dietitian.

Immediately, things were much easier at Nourish than our experiences elsewhere. Our dietitian was able to find a time that worked within Becca’s difficult schedule. With sports, school, friends, and all her other extracurriculars, it can often be hard to fit important appointments in, but with Nourish it was easy.

There was an immediate impact. She’s been feeling better, which I’ve had the opportunity to hear both from her and from her dietitian because Nourish involves the parents in their own sessions, too. Her improvement in health has led to her getting a lot of her confidence back, and I have finally been able to see her happy again. It feels like such a relief to watch my happy girl back with her friends.

My daughter Julia had been going to a psychiatrist to deal with her disordered eating, and the topic of getting a dietitian had come up. I was completely desperate to help her in any way I could, so I jumped at the opportunity and was connected with Nourish by her psychiatrist.

Immediately, the dietitian connected on a teenage-level with my daughter, which I think has been crucial for my daughter’s recovery. She was incredibly kind and really engaged with Julia, which I know can be difficult at times with teenagers. Our dietitian went above and beyond to 'meet Julia where she was at’ - going so far as to adjust appointment times to align with Julia's school schedule, and being flexible with any goals or strategies she set with Julia so that Julia could accomplish them while still getting to experience a ‘normal’ teenage life. I could finally start to see Julia turn a corner, and seeing the hope in her eyes finally return was incredible for me to watch.

I have appreciated how much I am kept in the loop by Julia's dietitian. We finally have someone helping both of us deal with the nutrition challenges that she is constantly facing. My daughter went from eating basically nothing to having 3 meals and 4 snacks a day consistently. So much of her pain is gone, and that is all thanks to our dietitian. I highly recommend anyone looking for a guiding and supportive figure in their child’s life get a Nourish dietitian.

Can a Nutritionist Help with Eating Disorders?

Yes, registered dietitians are essential members of the care team for treating eating disorders. Research shows that people with eating disorders who work with a dietitian have better outcomes, including improved weight and dietary intake. It’s important to select a provider who is credentialed, such as a registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) to ensure you receive evidence-based care.

During treatment, your dietitian will work with you to address disordered eating habits and body image concerns while emphasizing adequate nutrition to support a healthy weight. You’ll likely be given a meal plan to help you meet your nutrition needs and eat on a consistent routine.

Registered dietitians also treat disordered eating and can help you build a lifelong healthy relationship with food. Disordered eating is when a person does not meet the criteria for an eating disorder diagnosis but experiences eating disorder signs and symptoms, like preoccupation with weight, intense restriction of food, and guilty feelings after eating.

How Much Does an Eating Disorder Nutritionist Cost?

Nationwide, you can expect to pay an average of $150 per session with an eating disorder dietitian. Some states are more expensive, with initial visits costing around $310 in California and $250 in Vermont.

The cost of working with an outpatient dietitian for eating disorder treatment will vary based on your location and the type of clinic or practice where you are being seen. Many people with eating disorders are unable to access treatment due to insurance barriers and high out-of-pocket costs.

How are Eating Disorders Treated?

Eating disorders are treated using a multidisciplinary approach, with different healthcare providers addressing medical, mental health, and nutritional concerns. The first goal of treatment is to stabilize medical issues like electrolyte imbalances and cardiac abnormalities.

Numerous types of psychotherapy are used in the treatment of eating disorders, with the most common being cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Nutrition interventions include weight restoration, reversing malnutrition, interrupting dysfunctional eating behaviors, and developing a healthy relationship with food.

There are five different levels of eating disorder treatment depending on where you are in your recovery journey.

Inpatient.
Residential.
Partial Hospital Program (PHP).
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).
Outpatient.

Inpatient is the highest level of care, which involves around-the-clock monitoring in a hospital setting. As individuals go through the treatment process and become more stable, they move through the different levels of care. Residential care is the next step when the patient needs 24/7 supervision but is no longer medically unstable.

Partial hospital and intensive outpatient programs involve varying lengths of time spent at an eating disorder treatment center each week without overnight stays. These range from three to eight hours per day up to five days per week.

Outpatient is the lowest level of eating disorder treatment and is best for medically and psychiatrically stable individuals. With continued care from the multidisciplinary team, outpatient care provides long-term recovery support.

Your medical team will determine which treatment level is the best starting point for you based on the type of eating disorder, its severity, and your medical and mental health history.
