What Is An Eating Disorder?

An eating disorder is a serious illness that affects a person’s mental and physical health. It is estimated that 10 million US men and 20 million US women have or will have an eating disorder in their lifetime.

According to the latest version of the DSM, there are several different eating disorder diagnoses:

Anorexia Nervosa
Binge-Eating Disorder (BED)
Bulimia Nervosa
Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
Orthorexia
Pica
Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED)
Rumination Disorder

All eating disorders are serious and life-threatening. Eating Disorders require treatment. They affect all organs of the body. The earlier a person with an eating disorder receives treatment, the greater likelihood of recovery.

Most people think of eating disorders and envision a malnourished individual. Time and treatment history has shown eating disorders affect individuals of all different races, genders, social classes, and ages. Meaning, you cannot look at somebody and diagnose them with an eating disorder.

My dietitian’s guidance makes me feel confident that a healthy lifestyle with food is not out of reach.

I can enjoy carbs and don’t feel guilty!

It goes without saying that I sought out Anderson Nutrition to better myself. Food had been an emotional coping mechanism for the better part of my life. There have been many trials, traumas, and no small amount of effort to change my eating lifestyle. However, all of the efforts that have been made could not yield the results I had so desperately sought. In time, hopelessness deterred my future efforts.

Those feelings were promptly put to rest upon meeting my dietitian. Her guidance makes me feel confident that a healthy lifestyle with food is not out of reach. There is never any insecurities or discomfort in our meetings. The introduction of a journal and repetitive subtle changes in my diet has allowed me to reach substantial milestones. While there are still trials ahead and some days are better than others, I have never felt like there has truly been a difference until now. My dietitian creates a welcoming atmosphere with her professional and honest guidance.

To say that I am happy with Anderson’s Nutrition’s hard work and patience with me is not enough, she gives me hope and strength to keep trying.
