Why It's Awesome to Work with Eating Disorder Dietitians

Thought about seeing an eating disorder dietitian as part of your eating disorder recovery? Not quite sure how they might be helpful for you? Feeling nervous about meeting with someone to talk about food? Whether in San Diego or in other places, it can take a lot of courage to work with an eating disorder dietitian.

Perhaps you had bad experiences with dietitians or nutritionists in the past. Perhaps you feel scared that the person is just going to tell you what to eat without your input. Perhaps you’re worried that the person will put you on a meal plan or a diet that will feel uncomfortable. Perhaps you’re anxious that the dietitian will shame you for what you’re eating—or not eating.

I’ve interviewed top San Diego eating disorder dietitians for them to share WHY it makes a difference to work with one who is trained in eating disorders. These amazing women are not about shaming—they’re about educating, supporting, and empowering.
