Work with a bulimia dietitian or nutritionist covered by your insurance
Overcome your challenges with bulimia
Bulimia nervosa is a consuming eating disorder that deeply affects your life. It is characterized by uncontrollable binge eating episodes followed by purging, either by vomiting or misuse of laxative or diuretics. This results in several compounding health issues and causes you to withdraw from social life. But with proper care and dedication, recovery is possible. You can find freedom beyond bulimia.
Break free from bulimia with personalized support
Working with a registered dietitian is one of the most effective ways to recover from bulimia. A dietitian is uniquely qualified to address both nutrient deficiencies as well as your mindset around food to help you achieve recovery. Under a dietitian’s care, you can find relief from bulimia.
Everyone's journey is different, so your dietitian works with you 1 on 1 to provide a hyper-personalized plan
Have you tried (seemingly) every diet out there with limited success? Trying to beat prediabetes holistically? Worn out from life and know your diet could be better but don’t know where to start? Your dietitian will assess all this and more to craft a completely personalized approach for your treatment based on your goals, lifestyle, health history, motivators, and more. Fay dietitians use clinically proven methods to drive results, including goal setting, intuitive eating, nutrition education, lifestyle counseling, lab testing, and meal planning.
The world of nutrition is overwhelming. There’s so much information out there – but how can you know what’s right for you? The reality is: nutrition is complex and requires an expert’s guidance. Registered dietitians are the only nutrition professionals qualified to offer medical nutrition therapy (MNT). That means RDNs have a deep understanding of the chemical properties of food and how that interacts with one’s body on a cellular level to impact overall health. Instead of stressing out over the latest food trend, put your care in the hands of a dietitian and find ease in knowing you’re getting personalized, research-backed nutrition advice.
Ready to break free from the harsh voice in your head criticizing your every food choice? Whether weight loss is part of your goals or not, your dietitian can help calm the noise with a research-backed approach that addresses both the practical challenges of daily meals and the psychological factors of disordered eating. You can learn ways to manage your health and weight that go beyond the confines of a traditional “diet” by prioritizing balance and finding the right nutrition approach for you personally.
Accountability is a crucial factor in making any lifestyle change. Having a set weekly meeting with your dietitian – and knowing you have an expert on your side – can make a world of difference when it comes to sticking to your nutrition goals. You’ll have regular check-ins where you go over your progress and any challenges you’re facing, and together, you and your dietitian will make adjustments to account for your evolving needs. RDNs know as well as anyone that a successful plan is one that fits into your life, not works against it.
You have to make a lot of decisions every day, including what to eat. Meal planning removes the headache of that decision, and when it’s done in partnership with your dietitian, it’s that much easier to meet your goals without exhausting yourself in the process. All the hard work of figuring out how much to eat and when is already done for you – you just need to stick to the plan. Your RDN can provide meal ideas and recipes too, which can help boost adherence and make following your plan simpler and more enjoyable.
No matter why you’re getting a dietitian’s expertise, intuitive eating principles can help almost anyone cultivate a healthier relationship with food. Using behavioral psychology, intuitive eating emphasizes getting in touch with your body to better understand hunger and fullness cues, identify emotional eating, and remove any shame or guilt that might come up. With this psychological approach, your dietitian can help you calm the “food noise” in your mind to cultivate a sense of empowerment and joy in eating once again.
Meeting your nutrition goals is about more than just the food you eat. Your daily routine – activity level, sleep schedule, stress levels, work life, and environment – has a huge impact on your overall health. Your dietitian will create your personalized plan based on these factors and more. Taking this approach makes your plan more realistic, which makes achieving your goals easier. It also allows your RD to identify any potential challenges and craft a plan to overcome them.
Food can play an important role in managing chronic health conditions, but you need an expert to guide you. Fay has dietitians specializing in diabetes, IBS, PCOS, thyroid health, obesity, and more. These providers can collaborate directly with your broader care team to ensure your nutrition plan is aligned with your ongoing treatments. Your RDN can do more than just make a meal plan based on your goals and condition – they can also educate you on the key factors of eating for that condition, empowering you to continue the care for yourself.
Health is foundational to wellbeing. Fay dietitians are qualified to support weight loss, hormonal imbalances, chronic disease, and much more. Collaborating with an RDN greatly increases your chances of success in meeting your goals. Whatever your nutrition goals are, you can find a board-certified registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in that area with Fay.
Food is intrinsically linked to our health and wellbeing. People who worked with a dietitian through Fay made lifestyle changes that had immense benefit to their physical health.
Making lifestyle changes surrounding food and nutrition had benefits that went beyond the physical. Food and our relationship with it, has far reaching implications on our emotional and mental health.
What to look for in a bulimia nutritionist
Expert qualification
When it comes to nutrition counseling, registered dietitian nutritionists (RDs or RDNs) are the most qualified providers. To become a registered dietitian, a provider must meet a stringent set of requirements, including a master’s degree in nutrition and over 1,000 clinical hours. When you work with an RDN, you know you’re getting the best possible nutrition care.
Specialty in eating disorders
Nutrition is a broad field. Working with a dietitian who specializes in eating disorders is another way to ensure top-quality care. An RDN understands how to work with this complex condition and can treat it from both psychological and practical perspectives, addressing your mindset around food and improving your diet to ensure adequate nourishment.
Compassion-led care
Seeking recovery can feel scary and vulnerable. You want a compassionate care team to lead the way and make you feel safe as you take on this difficult task. One way to check a provider’s bedside manner is to look through their reviews. All Fay dietitians have transparent reviews on their profiles that you can read before booking a consultation. If you feel like it’s not a match after your first meeting, you can switch to another provider, no problem.
Accepts health insurance
Eating disorder recovery can be expensive. Getting your nutrition counseling services covered by insurance makes it easier. All Fay providers accept health insurance, and many Fay users pay as little as $0 per session.
Get on the road to recovery with a Fay dietitian
Personalized recovery plan
Your Fay provider will do a thorough intake of your health history, current eating habits, and overall lifestyle to create a completely custom recovery plan for you. This will include a meal plan, psychology-informed mindset exercises, and other practical tools to help you achieve recovery.
Holistic approach
Your dietitian will collaborate with your other medical providers to ensure your various treatment modalities are aligned in their approach. This helps streamline recovery and ensures all methods are complementing, not working against, one another.
Convenient meeting times
Prefer to meet with a dietitian from the comfort of your own home? No problem. All Fay providers work both virtually and in-person with their bulimia clients. This can make it easier to find a meeting time that works with your schedule.
The accountability you need
Your Fay provider is a nutrition expert and accountability partner all in one. Accountability is crucial in eating disorder recovery, and your RDN will be there every step of the way to ensure true recovery success.
The challenges of bulimia
Abnormal eating patterns
When you’re bulimic, you develop abnormal eating patterns that revolve around your binges. This can lead to unusual behavior that ostracizes you from social life. Binges are often done in secret, and the restriction that can follow can lead you to withdraw from social situations involving food. This can make it feel impossible to partake in “normal” life.
Broader health issues
Repeated purging and poor eating habits lead to significant health issues in your digestion and beyond. You may face deteriorating tooth health, frequent fainting spells, acid reflux, recurring dehydration, and more. Since it can be impossible to keep up your nutrient levels with continuous purging, your overall health is likely to be poor.
Poor self-image
Bulimia is as much a mental condition as it is a physical one. You may suffer from poor self-image with an unhealthy fixation on your weight and physical appearance. This can lead to further mental health issues, like anxiety, depression, OCD, and more. As a result, you may partake in risky or even dangerous situations, potentially causing further harm.
Sense of helplessness
Since binges are characterized by a lack of control, you may feel out of control of your eating habits. You might think recovery isn’t possible, but with proper care, it is always within reach. You deserve to find freedom from bulimia and regain balance in your life.
