Slava Kharitonenkov, RD

Food is my passion, let's be honest. It wouldn't be possible for me to be here if that weren't the case. As far as our biology is concerned, we eat to function. Energy plays a pivotal role in our lives, but sometimes we lose sight of its importance. It's very common for some of us to skip meals and get into routines that may seem convenient, but are actually causing harm that we may not see at first glance. The mission of my work is to inspire and show individuals that they have control over their lives. Each goal can become something monumental for themselves, their families, and the world if they take small steps toward it.​I have always had an endearing relationship with food, so much so that bread was one of my first words. But it wasn’t too long ago when my relationship had been muddled with fear of its effects on my body. Calorie counting and nutritionally sound meals became my lifestyle. I figured that it was possible to have the healthiest life possible by sticking to a strict regimen. That schedule ended up becoming my routine, and by no means was that living.​From my journey, I have acquired the tools necessary for you to get help with eating disorders. I began my career at an eating disorder treatment center which led to me dedicating my career to understand difficulties with anorexia, binge eating disorder, and the emotions that lead to disordered eating patterns.
