Eating disorders are a serious, yet treatable mental illness that affect the lives of many. At least 30 million people in the U.S. alone are currently suffering from an eating disorder. This illness knows no race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation and often manifests as a way to manage life stressors, emotions, and burdens. Eating disorders can create long-term consequences, including physical bodily damage. They can also negatively affect relationships and the ability to be productive at school or work. Amy works with clients to help them develop their own nutrition strategies, and to offer guidance and support toward their emotional healing and growth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/1733359797013-910UXELV1UTBFECI2U4Z/annie-spratt-2wwiwYJve_g-unsplash.jpg Welcome - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/1733358982198-YKI0MTEVZ4AMK3UWAJFT/Hands+reaching.jpeg Welcome - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/c4b01f52-a155-4f2f-b14c-a25b0b50e179/jonathan-borba-tZxTJRhEzGE-unsplash+%281%29.jpg Welcome - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/f7f06e1d-b2d7-4ee2-bdd4-37126b539c46/Home+Office.jpg Welcome - Why Work with Amy?

Bulimia Nervosa is a serious mental illness characterized by periods of eating larger than average amounts of food, followed by compensatory behaviors, including purging (vomiting), exercise, and laxatives. Excessive focus on body weight/size/shape and fear of weight gain are often conscious driving forces behind behaviors. Bulimia can both cause and reflect severe physical and emotional distress, leading sufferers to feel locked in a vicious cycle. Beneath the symptoms often lie complex layers of unexpressed emotions, unexplored pain, and unresolved trauma that require comprehensive care to resolve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/11489ecd-9818-44ed-9310-c45c73453de7/susan-wilkinson-EDJKEXFbzHA-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Bulimia - Signs of Bulimia: -Eating large amounts of food within a discrete time period coupled with a sense of lack of control -Recurring inappropriate compensatory behavior (vomiting, laxatives, exercise, diet pills, fasting) -Binge eating and compensatory behaviors occur, on average, at least once a week for three months. -Weight loss or weight gain or no appreciable weight change -Erosion of teeth enamel -Sore/inflammed throat - Feelings of disgust, shame, guilt, anxiety, depression, and helplessness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/f40f68e9-ef14-4f5c-b7a8-98d9bb6fcd5a/milada-vigerova-kT0tsYZ2YE0-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Bulimia - How can Amy help? Bulimia itself may have specific diagnostic criteria, but behaviors can exist along a spectrum and Amy takes seriously all presentations in her clients. She gets to know their fears, their feelings, and their wishes so she can understand the invisible forces driving the vicious cycle of bulimia and encourages clients’ recovery through recovery meal planning and strategies, as well as through ongoing discussion about the clinical relationship and its impact on the treatment. First and foremost, Amy works to know each client as an individual so she can provide the right kind of help uniquely suited for them. https://www.aicnutrition.com/nutrition-therapy-for-anorexia daily 0.75 2024-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/55099221-fc44-4fdc-bdb5-93c9f0774a31/siegfried-poepperl-Ccp9IurxLjI-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Anorexia - What is Anorexia? Anorexia Nervosa is a mental illness characterized by refusal to maintain a weight within a range that is safe and nutritionally stable for the individual, as well as an intense preoccupation with weight and body size/shape and fear of weight gain. Though it is officially given a separate diagnosis, “Atypical Anorexia” where an individual presents in a body that is considered within (or even higher than) expected weight range for height, is just as concerning of an illness. These individuals still refuse to consume enough calories to support their day-to-day body functions and maintain the same intense body weight/size/shape preoccupation. Anorexia is not simply “dieting” but a real, complex illness that involves social, genetic, environmental and psychological factors, requiring the right treatment to achieve long-term healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/78457c56-9e17-4f78-93c7-f245e9388515/52ABE73B-2E60-42AA-B9D1-D6D075B83ABE.jpeg Nutrition Therapy for Anorexia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/16abbec3-136d-4ee6-ac70-fa8e1860719f/isi-parente-Yf7iT9NlyYM-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Anorexia - How can Amy help? Amy works with clients with Anorexia by first coming to know them as complex individuals with their own wishes, desires, fears, and needs. Despite clients often wrestling with a starving brain, Amy believes each client possesses the ability to cultivate a sense of self, and works to provide nutrition support through meal planning and weight restoration where indicated, while also exploring resistances to nourishment and treatment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/1732132986045-FWAJS0YHUNJQ15BVDCL4/charlesdeluvio-rfV9hLhg_pY-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Anorexia - Signs of Anorexia: -Restriction of caloric intake relative to requirements, leading to a significant low body weight in the context of the age, sex, developmental trajectory, and physical health (not the case in “Atypical Anorexia”) -Intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat or persistent behavior that interferes with weight gain. -Disturbed by one’s body weight or shape, self-worth influenced by body weight or shape, or persistent lack of recognition of seriousness of low bodyweight. -Potential symptoms: Frequently cold, dizziness/fainting, irregular menstruation or loss of menses, dry skin and nails, easy bruising, hair loss/development of hair on body for warmth, constipation, vomiting, potential periods of binge eating or other compulsive behavior, anxiety, depression https://www.aicnutrition.com/nutrition-therapy-for-arfid daily 0.75 2024-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/a725c4e2-6f36-48bd-a7b8-06af3136ca83/priscilla-du-preez-8u9Kz4yZLgg-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for ARFID - Signs of ARFID: -Weight-loss in adults or failure to gain weight/failure-to-thrive in children -Refusal to eat based on sensory features of foods, or fear of adverse reactions to eating. -Lack of interest in food and/or lack of appetite -A small list of foods one feels comfortable eating -Consequences of restrictive eating, including anemia, fatigue, gastrointestinal complications, hair loss, difficulty concentrating, low blood sugar, and electrolyte imbalances. -Social isolation, especially around mealtimes -Co-occurring neurodevelopmental conditions like autism, ADHD, and anxiety https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/78496be8-da52-4322-984e-4cd3b4ce0a59/kelly-sikkema-Xx2wq3Of2tA-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for ARFID - How can Amy help? Amy’s most important job as a Dietitian and clinician is to know her clients and understand what type of help they are seeking. It is common to come for one kind of help and realize that the time and effort required is not what was originally expected. Before making any recommendations to help clients with ARFID, Amy will assess how much effort client and clinician should each put forth, how we will know if we’ve accomplished the intended goals, and what it would be like if the outcome was not as expected. Only then can real, meaningful shifts take place in the way the client feeds themselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/238665ad-4785-4610-9b62-b61fb6899a78/360floralflaves-SXIXtpZE7gk-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for ARFID - What is ARFID? Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, better known as ARFID, is an eating disorder characterized by refusal to consume certain foods due to lack of interest in eating/low appetite, unpleasant sensory stimuli (textural, visual, temperature), or fear of aversive consequences that ultimately lead to various states of malnourishment and psychosocial impairment. Formerly known as “Extreme Picky Eating”, ARFID is often associated with young children, but adolescents and adults also suffer from ARFID in equal numbers. ARFID differs from other eating disorders in that sufferers do not generally find themselves preoccupied with body weight/shape/size, though these thoughts can be present in varying degrees. Food aversions and fears can stem from negative or traumatic food experiences, or may be present for other reasons, including heritability, and co-morbidity with neurodevelopmental and anxiety disorders. https://www.aicnutrition.com/nutrition-therapy-for-binge-eating daily 0.75 2024-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/600632c4-4f90-47d4-bdf8-96f65e94a178/holly-stratton-KTP5X6SW_b4-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Binge Eating - Signs of BED: -Consuming an amount of food that is definitely larger than most people would eat in a similar period of time under similar circumstances -A sense of lack of control during binge episodes -Eating much more rapidly than normal -Eating until feeling uncomfortably full -Eating large amounts of food when not feeling physically hungry -Eating alone because of feeling embarrassed by how much one is eating -Feeling disgusted with oneself, depressed, or very guilty afterwards -Marked distress regarding binge eating is present https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/a2e77285-fc10-4edf-8729-fc6981d370fc/russell-ferrer-K_Vr7YhhyzQ-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Binge Eating - How can Amy help? It can be difficult to pull yourself out of a binge cycle on your own, due to feeling isolated, ashamed, alone, scared, guilty, and fearful. Amy shows up to listen carefully and without judgment to all these feelings and concerns, while offering concrete meal planning strategies and other dietary interventions where appropriate and desired. Amy does not assume that everyone with binge eating behaviors comes from the same background, and welcomes ambivalence, resistance, and self-discovery as part of the clinical relationship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/00ad5ee8-2ad3-4398-9565-e07bf7fc91fe/henley-design-studio-XbZgARqXROc-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Binge Eating - What is Binge Eating? Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is an eating disorder characterized by eating larger than average amounts of foods in a discrete period of time without compensatory behaviors. BED is typically marked by feeling out-of-control during these periods. It may be interspersed with periods of restriction or dieting, followed by periods of bingeing. People who experience BED may be driven by a complex set of biopsychosocial factors, including genetics, environment, and trauma/emotional distress among others. Feelings of guilt, shame, helplessness, fear, anxiety and depression often accompany binge-eating episodes. Many who experience BED do so in secret, hiding their behaviors from those closet to them. Though some might associate BED with weight, shape, size or appearance, these are not diagnostics markers or indicators of BED. https://www.aicnutrition.com/meal-planning daily 0.75 2024-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/62a40b66-50e4-47a2-8e68-5e83b5b4f98f/carnivore-style-WeNvx6MeMr8-unsplash.jpg Meal Planning - Meal Planning Tools Depending on the individual, Amy uses various tools to assist clients with not only meal plans, but grocery shopping, and recipe-planning as well. With apps like Recovery Record and Nourishly, Amy can help determine when calories or nutrients are lacking or in excess, and see overall patterns in a client’s day that may hinder or help their progress. When requested, Amy frequently provides recipe ideas, grocery shopping strategies, and food delivery programs to make feeding oneself as accessible, streamlined, and satisfying as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/e5cdb439-601c-4297-ac7e-375c01298715/iosi-pratama-g0dBbrGmMe0-unsplash.jpg Meal Planning - How can Amy help? Amy believes meal planning is a collaborative experience between client and clinician. While she can and does make clinical recommendations based on individuals’ needs and goals, she understands that resistances, pace, and preferences are all normal parts of the meal planning process and welcomes open and ongoing dialogue to implement a comprehensive meal plan that meets the client’s needs and wishes. Not everyone who attends Nutrition Therapy will require a meal plan. Not all those seeking a meal plan will receive a meal plan from Amy; her recommendations are based on in-depth assessment and thought-provoking questions that help clients determine if a meal plan, or some variation of one, is right for them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/eaae3811-141d-47bb-93c6-12db493cdc16/hans-vivek-4JO8HSEDW7w-unsplash.jpg Meal Planning - Meal Planning Many people find themselves seeking out a Registered Dietitian to provide a framework for what to eat. Whether for eating disorder recovery, heart health, or food limitations, meal plans can be useful tools to guide and ensure adequate nutritional support. But the meal plan itself is only one step of a longer process that takes into account an individuals’ unique needs, preferences, tolerances, stage of readiness for change, medical requirements, and so much more. Meal plans are actually the culmination of more in-depth work to understand the whole person. https://www.aicnutrition.com/nutrition-therapy-for-disordered-eating daily 0.75 2024-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/1528309312066-LQ5FXZKHEFK05V395OZ9/courtney-prather-588074-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Disordered Eating - Types of Disordered Eating: -Chronic dieting and weight cycling -Chronic laxative use -Body Image Dysmorphia -Clean eating hyper-vigilance (Orthorexia) -Rumination Disorder -Chewing & Spitting -Night-eating -Purging (vomiting) -Pica (eating non-food items) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/1528307330218-J7UWTNKBWOTPE8WMK1AP/Disordered+Eating.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Disordered Eating - What is Disordered Eating? Disordered eating can present itself in a variety of ways. It can be seen in preoccupation with fad diets, extreme clean eating behaviors, and in the elimination of entire food groups without clinical recommendation. At its core, disordered eating is rarely only about food or weight; those struggling often develop disordered eating patterns in a subconscious attempt to mange their emotions in overwhelming circumstances. This can lead to an intense fear of eating and/or food groups, nutritional deficiencies, and interference with activities of daily living and interpersonal relationships. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/1728507464758-0AXBS1CCPZZQ3YB8FMDD/jovan-vasiljevic-ejE_Xk6MiHA-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Disordered Eating - How can Amy help? Amy works with clients to explore how their eating strategies may have served them historically, and help them consider if new dietary interventions may better serve them moving forward. By developing a long-term, therapeutic relationship with her clients, Amy seeks to assist in examining food behaviors and the process of eating in a non-judgmental, often creative environment. https://www.aicnutrition.com/intuitive-eating daily 0.75 2024-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/7e58385a-de6f-4fd9-88cd-663d2cbf6976/artem-labunsky-lp8l7ne4zPg-unsplash.jpg Intuitive Eating - How can Amy help? Intuitive Eating challenges popular diet culture by focusing on each individual as unique, with their own complex inner lives and needs. This lens is a cornerstone of Amy’s clinical work, whether or not each of the 10 Intuitive Eating principles are specifically discussed. Amy finds that helping clients examine what drives their eating patterns, what influences their relationships with food and body, and what informs their food choices all play an integral role in having a more content relationship with each of these elements. Amy helps clients explore what is meaningful to them and uses Intuitive Eating as a guiding principal, if and when it is the right approach based on individual needs and goals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/1e9bc0c4-ee47-40df-a16a-4e0cac948d5e/alex-haney-CAhjZmVk5H4-unsplash.jpg Intuitive Eating - What is Intuitive Eating? The term Intuitive Eating was originally coined by Registered Dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch in their 1995 book of the same name, and refers to 10 principles to help guide eating according to one’s internal needs, in order to create a satisfying, trusting, and respectful relationship with food and body. Individuals who have experienced a lifetime of dieting, and wondering how to eat in a world filled with conflicting eating recommendations, often find Intuitive Eating to be a freeing, peaceful experience that puts them in touch with their innate physical and emotional needs. Those who have struggled with Disordered Eating and Eating Disorders can benefit from Intuitive Eating in the latter stages of recovery, once they have medically stabilized and have more contact with their natural hunger and fullness cues. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/a4531c10-bde0-462e-85b0-8c76cede8e91/Donuts.jpeg Intuitive Eating - What is normal eating? Normal eating is going to the table hungry and eating until you are satisfied. It is being able to choose food you enjoy and eat it and truly get enough of it. Normal eating is being able to give some thought to your food selection so you get nutritious food. Normal eating is giving yourself permission to eat sometimes because you are happy, sad, bored, or just because it feels good. Normal eating is three meals a day, or four or five, or it can be choosing to munch along the way. It is leaving some cookies on the plate because you know you can have some again tomorrow, or it is eating more now because they taste so wonderful. Normal eating is overeating at times and feeling stuffed and uncomfortable. And it can be undereating at times and wishing you had more. Normal eating is trusting your body to make up for any “mistakes” in eating. Normal eating takes up some of your time and attention, but keeps its place as only one important area of your life. In short, normal eating is flexible. It varies in response to your hunger, your schedule, your proximity to [and capacity to obtain] food, and to your feelings. -Ellyn Satter, MS, RDN https://www.aicnutrition.com/digestive-nutrition daily 0.75 2024-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/f88209f1-717c-4231-ae36-f21555be8881/julien-tromeur-XChsbHDigQM-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Digestion - Digestive conditions: -Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) -SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) -Gastroesophagael Reflux Disease (GERD) -Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) *Chron’s Disease *Ulcerative Colitis -Diverticulitis/Diverticulosis -Pancreatic Insufficiency -Bile Acid Malabsorption (BAM) -Cyclic Vomitng Syndrome -Chronic Gastritis -Gastroparesis -Pre-/post-bariatric surgery management -Pre-/post-GLP-1 management -Pelvic Compressions *Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS) *Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome (SMAS *Abdominophrenic Dysynergia (APD) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/df6e9a0b-8e11-4fba-a447-9e868b698d1b/fuu-j-g5FxlGoaPKY-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Digestion - What is Digestive Nutrition? As one of our most basic bodily functions, digestion is omnipresent in our lives, and at its best, is rarely given a great deal of attention. However, when digestion goes awry, it can wreck havoc on our lives in ways that interfere with work, relationships, and overall quality of life. Individuals may choose to address their digestion through nutrition if they are having any number of symptoms, including a change in bowel habits (constipation, diarrhea), abdominal pain/cramping, bloating and/or distention, excessive flatulence or belching, acid reflux, difficulty or pain swallowing, unexplained weight loss or weight gain, and more. Some clients may come with a diagnosis (Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Chron’s Disease, Gastroparesis), while others may be starting their investigative journey to learn what is wrong and discover the root cause. Others may be in eating disorder recovery and attempting to manage the myriad digestive disruptions that can occur as a result of eating disorder behaviors, or in the context of re-nourishing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/d8bbbea0-1202-410b-ab08-732ae30cae6b/jamie-street-tb5A-QTI6xg-unsplash+%281%29.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Digestion - How can Amy help? Amy has worked extensively with digestive health concerns and conditions in her clinical experience, and appreciates that no one-size-fits-all when it comes to remedies. She recommends evidence-based interventions where warranted, and takes an extensive and ongoing inventory of clients symptoms to understand the full clinical picture and appreciate the individual needs of each person. Above all, Amy values the therapeutic relationship as central to finding lasting relief from digestive conditions that often have complex roots with genetic, environmental, and psychological underpinnings. She values exploring these pathways with clients in a meaningful way. https://www.aicnutrition.com/mast-cell-activation-syndrome daily 0.75 2024-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/25588bd1-603c-4fb1-ac0b-18c5f1590305/toa-heftiba-fbCxL_wEo5M-unsplash.jpg Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Ehler's Danlos, & POTS - How can Amy help? Through supervision, self-study, and working under the guidance some of the top MCAS specialists in the country, Amy remains up-to-date on the latest research and evidence-based interventions for MCAS support. She also relies on her clinical experience working with a wide variety of MCAS clients, including those who suffer from common co-occurring conditions like hypermobility/EDS and dysautonomias/POTS. It is her clinical experience, coupled with her unique niche serving the intersection of MCAS and Eating Disorders, that renders Amy able to understand the nuances of treating these conditions, and appreciate the complex physical and emotional presentation of each individual client. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/8326b30d-098a-4d55-8ea9-8b73320f36fb/Mast%2BCell.jpeg Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Ehler's Danlos, & POTS - What is Mast Cell Activation Syndrome? Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is an immune condition prevalent in 20-25% of clients who suffer from eating disorders, and up to 20% of the general population. In response to certain environmental stimuli, including stress and food, MCAS can manifest in symptoms across most organ symptoms and can be confused with other conditions like IBS and mood disorders. It is important to know the signs of MCAS to effectively treat both it and the eating disorder simultaneously to improve treatment outcomes and reduce client suffering. MCAS often presents in conjunction with others conditions like hypermobility disorders (i.e. Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome) and dysautonomias (i.e. POTS).

Amy has presented widely on the topic of feeding children in emotionally and behaviorally healthy ways, including her signature workshop: Talking With Their Mouths Full. Based on the seminal work of Registered Dietitian Ellyn Satter and her Division of Responsibility for family feeding, Amy frequently finds that families possess all the tools they need to allow children to nourish themselves. Parents and caregivers often find relief in having to do less, not more, when it comes to effective feeding. They also potentially learn about unconscious beliefs that they have carried with them since their own childhoods that influence feeding practices. Amy values working with families on this eye-opening and vulnerable journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/26bc4350-3382-4806-ba76-2e9ef4723f09/Child%252Beating%2B%25281%2529.jpg Child & Family Feeding - Feeding Children Parents and caregivers often approach feeding children as a struggle, and something to be "fixed" or "managed". In reality, children of all ages inherently possess most of the cues required to feed themselves in a way that meets their nutritional requirements and encourages their natural curiosity, but only when parents do their part and allow the child to do theirs. Amy has spent 18 years working with parents to help them feed their children in emotionally and behaviorally healthy ways, effectively mitigating mealtime meltdowns, food challenges, and "short-order cooking", and ultimately establishing a healthy, long-term relationship between the child and eating, into adolescence and adulthood. https://www.aicnutrition.com/general-nutrition daily 0.75 2024-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/10b8572a-8fe8-4134-b929-9c015c188e9a/allgo-an-app-for-plus-size-people-aCEg6DQEiDo-unsplash.jpg General Nutrition - How can Amy help? As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, Amy offers evaluation, nutritional management, and treatment recommendation for a wide variety of conditions, like those listed above.

Nutrition is also how our bodies breakdown and utilize everything we take in for every chemical reaction happening from second to second, informing our thoughts, moods, breath, focus, energy, sleep, and so much more. In short, nutrition informs how we experience our day-to-day lives. And when issues arise that interfere with any of the above, it bears looking at how we can intervene using evidence-based dietary approaches to help. From those who are seeking to improve one or more areas of their life like sleep or energy, to those seeking to help manage or prevent medical issues like diabetes or heart disease, nutrition is the perhaps the most accessible intervention we have available to us. https://www.aicnutrition.com/food-allergies-sensitivities daily 0.75 2024-12-05 https://www.aicnutrition.com/food-allergies daily 0.75 2024-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/583150da-24fd-4808-a34a-ffa4660fda06/arseniy-kapran-p99ZKwVGBRA-unsplash.jpg Food Allergies, Sensitivities & Intolerances - What are food allergies, sensitivities & intolerances? Contrary to popular belief, there is a distinct difference between food allergies, food sensitivities and food intolerances that is crucial to understand so that clients receive the right kind of dietary intervention. Some food and environmental reactions involve IgE-mediated immune pathways while others follow very different chemical cascades. Working with a comprehensive treatment team, including an allergist, primary care physician, dietitian, and others is often a key ingredient in successful management of food allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/f1f9ab5b-f7d3-4249-ae46-6645247b5e7c/thought-catalog-fnztlIb52gU-unsplash.jpg Food Allergies, Sensitivities & Intolerances - Food allergies, intolerances & sensitivities and other autoimmune conditions: -IgE-mediated food allergies -Food Protein-Induced Entercolitis Syndrome (F-PIES) -Celiac Disease -Gluten Intolerance -Lactose Intolerance -Congenital Sucrase Isomaltase Deficiency (CSID) -Eisinophilic Esophagitis (EOE) -Contact Dermatitis -Oral Allergy Syndrome -IgG Food Sensitivities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/dc4b2aaf-6e2d-44c2-a2d0-ee7f836c30a5/towfiqu-barbhuiya-xs2rdwVoqks-unsplash+%281%29.jpg Food Allergies, Sensitivities & Intolerances - How can Amy help?

Anorexia Nervosa is a mental illness characterized by refusal to maintain a weight within a range that is safe and nutritionally stable for the individual, as well as an intense preoccupation with weight and body size/shape and fear of weight gain. Though it is officially given a separate diagnosis, “Atypical Anorexia” where an individual presents in a body that is considered within (or even higher than) expected weight range for height, is just as concerning of an illness. These individuals still refuse to consume enough calories to support their day-to-day body functions and maintain the same intense body weight/size/shape preoccupation. Anorexia is not simply “dieting” but a real, complex illness that involves social, genetic, environmental and psychological factors, requiring the right treatment to achieve long-term healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/78457c56-9e17-4f78-93c7-f245e9388515/52ABE73B-2E60-42AA-B9D1-D6D075B83ABE.jpeg Nutrition Therapy for Anorexia San Luis Obispo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/16abbec3-136d-4ee6-ac70-fa8e1860719f/isi-parente-Yf7iT9NlyYM-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Anorexia San Luis Obispo - How can Amy help?

Anorexia is not simply “dieting” but a real, complex illness that involves social, genetic, environmental and psychological factors, requiring the right treatment to achieve long-term healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/b6977dfd-ae40-4293-900a-644481d64e91/yoad-shejtman-qN2UhvqAU3Y-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Anorexia in SB - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/a7d6efa6-3180-4c55-9239-1269130be77d/element5-digital-jCIMcOpFHig-unsplash.jpg Nutrition Therapy for Anorexia in SB - Signs of Anorexia: -Restriction of caloric intake relative to requirements, leading to a significant low body weight in the context of the age, sex, developmental trajectory, and physical health (not the case in “Atypical Anorexia”) -Intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat or persistent behavior that interferes with weight gain. -Disturbed by one’s body weight or shape, self-worth influenced by body weight or shape, or persistent lack of recognition of seriousness of low bodyweight. -Potential symptoms: Frequently cold, dizziness/fainting, irregular menstruation or loss of menses, dry skin and nails, easy bruising, hair loss/development of hair on body for warmth, constipation, vomiting, potential periods of binge eating or other compulsive behavior, anxiety, depression https://www.aicnutrition.com/about-montauk daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1350441775225-IJMQT4K4Z48MQNA4OKX4/ships.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d73dbac2ea51af9150258f/1456953379744-UTTR33027B5I4VMV5ONZ/2-1-2.jpg About https://www.aicnutrition.com/read-me daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1377096507573-1MU42OOOOGIM9URAJ9D9/515c4225e4b0afec1218b21e.png Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1377096775448-0L7B4Q54H1VLOGFF1DPR/synthetica+%2820130821%29.jpg Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1377097104716-HDI53XJVV0DKZ24A3T68/51e453dee4b06abd3403c22e.png Read Me https://www.aicnutrition.com/shop daily 0.75 2024-05-16 https://www.aicnutrition.com/shop/total-gut-reset-harnessing-breath-nutrition-for-optimal-digestion monthly 0.5 2025-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/3509ab35-ab43-4ce1-9cd0-acd88d4450dd/Black+on+Transparent.png Shop - Total Gut Reset: Harnessing Breath & Nutrition for Optimal Digestion - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/6f8e87e7-1d7a-470e-b22e-ac2cd2d2ed68/Website+Copy.png Shop - Total Gut Reset: Harnessing Breath & Nutrition for Optimal Digestion - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aff0f669f8770de2772b1a9/0a289c46-7bc5-4998-91b3-5db034b00d73/Michaela+Goorahoo.jpg Shop - Total Gut Reset: Harnessing Breath & Nutrition for Optimal Digestion - Michaela Goorahoo Breathe CP, Yoga + Pilates CPT, Sound + Energy Healing Michaela is a breathwork facilitator, movement educator, and sound healing practitioner dedicated to guiding others toward embodied awareness and holistic well-being.
