Overcome your challenges with anorexia
Anorexia can be an all-consuming condition affecting more than just your eating habits, but your overall health and wellbeing. It might feel hard to believe, but recovery is always possible. Working with a registered dietitian is a vital step in recovery.
Break free from anorexia with personalized support
With support from a registered dietitian, you can finally find relief from anorexia. Your provider will create a custom plan to help restore your nutrition levels, stabilize your weight, improve your eating habits, and heal your relationship with food.
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.
What to look for in an anorexia nutritionist
Proper qualifications
Registered dietitians (RDs or RDNs) are the most skilled nutrition providers out there. Only those who meet the stringent requirements can use the title of dietitian, ensuring you are getting the highest level of care from someone with thousands of clinical hours under their belt. Those who call themselves nutritionists without the RDN designation may not have the same education or experience and your care may be compromised as a result.
Specialty in eating disorders
Recovering from an eating disorder is a complex endeavor. You want the most adept provider by your side to support your journey. Look for a dietitian who specializes in eating disorder recovery in order to get the best care possible. You can filter Fay’s results to find RDNs who focus on eating disorder recovery to find a good match for you.
Flexible availability
Finding a competent provider is one thing, but finding time to meet with them is another. You may find it easier and more comfortable to work with a dietitian virtually. All of Fay’s providers offer virtual nutrition counseling for ultimate convenience. By opening up your options beyond your geographic area, you are likelier to find a provider who matches both your area of concern and your preferred approach.
Compassionate care
One of the keys to true ED recovery is having a good care team. But it’s not just about having the proper qualifications. You want someone who is going to offer the support and compassion you need as you take on recovery. All of Fay’s providers are heavily vetted for both their experience and their bedside manner. You can read through reviews before scheduling a consultation to learn more about their approach, and if you feel it’s not a good match, you can switch to a new provider, no questions asked.
The support you need to achieve anorexia recovery
Personalized support
Recovery is not a straight line and it’s as unique as the individual taking it on. Your Fay dietitian will take a personalized approach to help you recover from anorexia based on your health concerns, history, and personal preferences.
Holistic approach
Anorexia recovery is about much more than just food. Your dietitian will take your whole lifestyle into account, as well as any other treatment modalities you are using, to craft a holistic recovery plan.
Repaired relationship to hunger cues & food
When you struggle with anorexia, your relationship with food and eating is often damaged. Your dietitian will help you reconnect with your hunger cues to establish a more balanced eating rhythm. They will also help you repair your overall relationship with food to find joy in it again.
Covered by health insurance
All Fay dietitians accept health insurance, which can help remove a huge hurdle to recovery: cost. Many Fay users pay as little as $0 per session. You can find out your cost with your individual insurance plan information.
Overcoming the challenges of anorexia
Fearing certain foods
Many struggling with anorexia create their own idea of “safe” foods, which are usually low in calories. You may exclusively eat these foods, which can create a sense of fear around “unsafe” foods. You may feel fearful of eating food of which you don’t know the nutritional information. Your dietitian can help you navigate these fears and relearn how to trust yourself to make good food decisions.
Skipping meals & avoiding situations with food
Since anorexia revolves around food restriction, you may find yourself skipping meals and avoiding food-driven situations altogether. This can lead to isolation and withdrawal, which has compounding effects on both physical and mental health. It’s vital not just to recover to adequate levels of nourishment but also to engage socially. Living life without eating around others is not realistic (or healthy!) and it’s important to find ways to reconnect over food.
Deteriorating health
Anorexia can take a drastic toll on your health. Many struggle with heart conditions, poor body temperature regulation, mood disorders, bone loss, and more. Because you’re not nourishing your body sufficiently, you are at higher risk for general illness as well as chronic conditions. Prioritizing recovery is the best thing you can do for your health in both the immediate and the long-term.
Abusing hunger suppression tools
To suppress hunger and lose weight, you may turn to nicotine, caffeine, diet pills, and/or laxatives. All of these can have a negative effect on your overall health, impacting your lungs, digestive system, and mental wellbeing. Your dietitian and broader care team can help you get the support you need to quit these habits and relearn your hunger cues.
