Read MoreI am so thankful to this organization, they are helping me out so much in so many different areas. Jessica is an outstanding registered dietitian to work with and Jamie has jumped hoops to make sure that I could get into this program and I am so humbled by their partnering care!
I love the inviting and accepting feel of the staff and overall office feel, from when I walk in the doors through when I walk out after my appointment every time I come.
I truly don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have Side by Side guiding me through my healing journey. My eyes well with gratitude for this practice as I write this review!
Thank you!!!

Read MoreAs the director of an eating disorder outpatient clinic, licensed psychologist, and certified eating disorders specialist, I am extremely picky about the dietitians my team and I will collaborate with. I can say with full confidence that my team completely trusts Jamie Magdic and her entire team of dietitians. Jamie is incredibly compassionate and dedicated to her patients, in addition to being extremely knowledgeable . Side By Side Nutrition is one of our clinic's top picks for nutrition therapy. They are excellent, know eating disorders, and are actually weight-inclusive and HAES-informed. I would trust Side By Side Nutrition with any patient with any diagnosis in any stage of recovery.

Read MoreBefore I started with Jamie, my life consisted of intrusive thoughts about how my body looked, daily weigh-ins, counting calories and constant concern about what I could and could not eat. My life was dictated by restrictive diet plans and exercise regimens. It consisted of late night binges and shame.
After working with Jamie and rediscovering my newfound self, I was able to shed the layers of disordered thinking and obsessive thoughts around food. I am more gracious towards my body now and allow my body to take up the space it deserves. I celebrate my mind and body for how far I have come. I was able to make peace with myself and realize that my body is constantly changing, and that life goes deeper than the ever changing body. I discovered respect and love for myself and my body that I never had before.
I would recommend this work to others, because I can attest to the fact that life is worth more than constant anxiety and fear over how a body looks or how much or how little food was consumed. I have found that life is much more enjoyable when you realize this simple truth. The journey through recovery is nonlinear and may be challenging at times, but your future self will thank you for never giving up on yourself.

Read MoreRecent “graduate” from Side by Side Nutrition. I started working with Jamie Magdic to figure out how food worked after having an eating disorder for years. And I’m so happy I got so much more than that! Jamie introduced me to Self-Compassion and met me with an approach that never included shaming me. I looked forward to our sessions every week, even if I hadn’t done any of my work, because I knew she’d be understanding and work with me to figure out what I needed to make it happen. And none of that compassion and presence was lost when we had to switch to telehealth. I also worked with another practitioner recommended by Jamie who was just as compassionate and dedicated to me feeling safe. And both of whom were willing to have conversations with me when I was bothered or upset by something they said.
When I started, I didn’t think healing from an eating disorder was possible. And I never in my wildest dreams imagined that I’d come out of it with an unshakable love for my body (certainly not a plus size body with chronic illness)! I’m so glad circumstances sent me here because I know I wouldn’t have gotten to this place with my previous dietician! I am STRONG, I am CONFIDENT, and I am in LOVE with myself!
Thank you so much for helping me on my journey here! It wasn’t easy, but it was so worth it!

Read MoreI worked with Jessica for about a year and a half and she really helped me grow to become the person I am today. I first started seeing her because I was engaging in unhealthy eating habits. She was very effective in changing my mindset around food and helping train me to not view eating as a task that I can use to punish myself and restrict myself. I did happen to encounter a digestive issue at the end of 2019 and into early 2020 which honestly regressed me a bit in regard to our progress, but Jessica was understanding, encouraging, and I felt like she really cared about teaching me how to treat my body with the respect it deserves when it comes to food. I owe a good portion of my current positive mental health to Jessica and the work we did together over that year and a half. I highly recommend Side By Side Nutrition!

Read MoreWhen I started working with Jamie, I had been struggling with my eating disorder for over six years. I had worked with RDs and therapists before, but they solely focused on weight restoration and not the mental aspect of recovery, so I stayed stuck in my disorder while in a "recovered" body. Jamie's approach was unlike any other RD or eating disorder specialist I had worked with before in that she treats her clients as whole, multifaceted people and addresses so much more than just the food piece of recovery. I was accustomed to meal plans and weigh-ins and rigid guidelines to follow, but I didn't have any of this with Jamie. She helped me to constantly challenge my eating disorder and tackle food fears while also teaching me about the importance of self care and self compassion in recovery and how I could incorporate these into my life. I truly feel that my work with Jamie not only helped me win my battle against my eating disorder but helped me to be a stronger, happier, healthier person in general now that I have those self care tools. It was so refreshing to work with someone with a holistic approach to eating disorders and body image issues and I cannot recommend working with her enough! Thank you so much Jamie for your support!
