Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Is an online course as good as in-person training?
Answer: Absolutely! Several studies show that online education is just as good (if not better) than in-person instruction. To find out more, check out this post on the benefits of online learning:

Question: As a medical professional, why should I care about nutrition? I have enough on my plate!
Answer: While you don't need to know as much as a dietitian (we have a purpose), it is important to know what affects your patients (and your own) health. Most medical schools have less than 25 hours (some have no required) of nutrition education! Facilitating change of underlying lifestyle issues that stem from nutrition, exercise, addictions, and mental health issues, rather than just saying "lose weight" or "stop smoking," can make all the difference between a "frequent flyer" in your practice (that is getting worse), and a person who is making healthy changes - taking charge of their health.
Now, I am not suggesting you go back to college, but you can do some additional training in your spare minutes.
Common side effects: greater confidence, patient improvement, and jealous peers.

Question: What will I learn working with you?
Answer: It's up to you!  There are several ways to work with me: 
Online courses, where you will follow a set curriculum and information about eating disorders (this one is FREE!), one-on-one coaching where you can ask your burning questions about eating disorder work, starting a private practice/business as a dietitian or therapist, or get a group together and we can have group coaching around working with eating disorders or starting your businesses.

Question: I heard you have a book out, what is it about? And how do I get my hands on one?
Answer: I am so excited to announce my book, Permission To Eat: A practical guide to working yourself out of an eating disorder during college, while celebrating the awesomeness that is you! Is available June 4, 2019.

Permission To Eat is a practical guide for recovery from eating disorders in college and beyond. The book gives readers specific tools for all genders to break up with their disorder, including action-based worksheets and journal prompts, knowledge of medical complications and what to tell medical professionals, personal stories from the author and others who have been through eating disorders, and most importantly— hope for full recovery.

This book will help you discover how to:
- Drop the guilt around eating, and create a better relationship with food so that you can get on with the more important things in life.
- Know what information to tell health professionals so that you get the best care.
- Understand what some complications of your disorder can be, and how to reverse or stop them from happening with actionable tips.
- Handle it when your treatment team asks you to cut back on the exercise.
- Find peace with food and give yourself permission to eat intuitively.

After reading Permission to Eat, you’ll feel the freedom to eat at any restaurant you want, to pick up any food that looks good, to get to know yourself, and to start loving your body instead of shaming it. Filled with nutritional information and glowing motivational messages, this book is sure to guide you toward trusting your body and taking the first steps toward long-lasting recovery.
