Eating Disorders Awareness Outreach Programs & Trainings:

Education and Training for Therapists, Coaches, Educators, and Healthcare Providers from Expert ED Dietitian Nutritionists

Participate in our online and in-person training sessions for therapists, coaches, educators, and healthcare providers to better understand, recognize, assess, and treat anorexia, bulimia, BED, ARFID, OSFED, orthorexia, and disordered eating. Facilitated by our certified medical nutrition therapy dietitians, these presentations and trainings offer evidence-based strategies to guide you toward compassionate care and awareness.

By working with one of our dietitian nutritionists, you’ll have the tools and resources you need to support your community.

  • Promote screenings and assessments in gyms, schools, teams, healthcare settings, and therapy sessions to identify disordered eating patterns and eating disorders.

  • Create clear referral pathways so therapists, personal trainers, coaches, and educators know when and how to connect someone to a dietitian.

  • Work closely with therapists, physicians, and psychiatrists to offer multidisciplinary care.

  • Destigmatize support, making ED nutrition counseling accessible and normalized. We frame intervention as preventative care, not crisis management.

  • Provide practical tools for professionals to help people rebuild their relationship with food and body in real-world contexts.

Why should therapists, coaches, and healthcare providers work with eating disorder dietitians?

A dietitian from our time can bring unique expertise that can significantly improve the care and support for your athletes and/or patients struggling with eating disorders or disordered eating behaviors. During a presentation, you will get:

  • A thorough overview of how to recognize, assess, and treat eating disorders.

  • Outlines of evidence-based strategies and trauma-informed compassionate care.

  • The knowledge and tools needed to identify early warning signs, initiate appropriate interventions, and provide ongoing support for individuals struggling with disordered eating.

Eating disorders can present in many different ways and affect people of all ages, gender identities, races, and body sizes. As a therapist, coach, or healthcare provider, you’re often in a position to notice the early signs of disordered eating, and knowing what to look for can make a huge difference. With the right training, you can help create a safer, more supportive space, avoid unintentionally reinforcing harmful behaviors, and get the tools and information you need to know how to step in or refer someone when needed. It’s all about being informed, reducing stigma, and helping people get the support they need early on.

Break the silence around eating disorders and reduce the stigma. Schedule an online or in-person presentation to learn how to provide compassionate care for your athletes and/or patients who are struggling with anorexia, bulimia, BED, OSFED, orthorexia, and disordered eating.

How Netflix's Reality Check Fails to Reckon With ANTM's Most Lasting Harm
How Netflix's Reality Check Fails to Reckon With ANTM's Most Lasting Harm

Netflix's Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model arrived on February 16, 2026,

promising a hard, honest look at one of the most watched reality shows in television history. For

the millions of young women who grew up absorbing ANTM’s messaging about beauty, thinness

and worthiness, this documentary felt like a long-overdue moment of accountability. What it

delivered instead was a highlight reel: troubling moments briefly acknowledged and then tidily

set aside, with no real interrogation of the damage caused to real bodies and real self-images.

Reality Check had the chance to do something meaningful. It chose, instead, to be

entertainment over accountability.
