Treating the Brain With Food
Meghan Foley, RD, CEDRD-S
Meghan shares her style when working with clients at the highest level of care for eating disorders.
“Being a dietitian in this field is the best of both worlds.”
Statements like “This isn’t going to get easier until you just do it” and “We have to feed you through this” help us know our decisions as RDs won’t be popular but can immobilize and heal.
Third voice here is Janice Baker – link to her episode
Lean on other RDs in clinical settings
Monthly supervision with Dr Mehler
IBW is such an antiquated thing – pt at 120% based on conventional wisdom is actually 70%
Those with AAN are still at risk for bradycardia, SMA syndrome, nausea vomiting, pain with eating, refeeding syndrome
Please remember, Sweets are ok, including for those with diabetes.
Testing for allergies is important to confirm the need to remove certain foods from the diet and to create the food heirarchy.
