- Staying accountable in recovery
Everyone's journey is different, so your dietitian works with you 1 on 1 to provide a hyper-personalized plan
Have you tried (seemingly) every diet out there with limited success? Trying to beat prediabetes holistically? Worn out from life and know your diet could be better but don’t know where to start? Your dietitian will assess all this and more to craft a completely personalized approach for your treatment based on your goals, lifestyle, health history, motivators, and more. Fay dietitians use clinically proven methods to drive results, including goal setting, intuitive eating, nutrition education, lifestyle counseling, lab testing, and meal planning.
The world of nutrition is overwhelming. There’s so much information out there – but how can you know what’s right for you? The reality is: nutrition is complex and requires an expert’s guidance. Registered dietitians are the only nutrition professionals qualified to offer medical nutrition therapy (MNT). That means RDNs have a deep understanding of the chemical properties of food and how that interacts with one’s body on a cellular level to impact overall health. Instead of stressing out over the latest food trend, put your care in the hands of a dietitian and find ease in knowing you’re getting personalized, research-backed nutrition advice.
Ready to break free from the harsh voice in your head criticizing your every food choice? Whether weight loss is part of your goals or not, your dietitian can help calm the noise with a research-backed approach that addresses both the practical challenges of daily meals and the psychological factors of disordered eating. You can learn ways to manage your health and weight that go beyond the confines of a traditional “diet” by prioritizing balance and finding the right nutrition approach for you personally.
Accountability is a crucial factor in making any lifestyle change. Having a set weekly meeting with your dietitian – and knowing you have an expert on your side – can make a world of difference when it comes to sticking to your nutrition goals. You’ll have regular check-ins where you go over your progress and any challenges you’re facing, and together, you and your dietitian will make adjustments to account for your evolving needs. RDNs know as well as anyone that a successful plan is one that fits into your life, not works against it.
You have to make a lot of decisions every day, including what to eat. Meal planning removes the headache of that decision, and when it’s done in partnership with your dietitian, it’s that much easier to meet your goals without exhausting yourself in the process. All the hard work of figuring out how much to eat and when is already done for you – you just need to stick to the plan. Your RDN can provide meal ideas and recipes too, which can help boost adherence and make following your plan simpler and more enjoyable.
No matter why you’re getting a dietitian’s expertise, intuitive eating principles can help almost anyone cultivate a healthier relationship with food. Using behavioral psychology, intuitive eating emphasizes getting in touch with your body to better understand hunger and fullness cues, identify emotional eating, and remove any shame or guilt that might come up. With this psychological approach, your dietitian can help you calm the “food noise” in your mind to cultivate a sense of empowerment and joy in eating once again.
Meeting your nutrition goals is about more than just the food you eat. Your daily routine – activity level, sleep schedule, stress levels, work life, and environment – has a huge impact on your overall health. Your dietitian will create your personalized plan based on these factors and more. Taking this approach makes your plan more realistic, which makes achieving your goals easier. It also allows your RD to identify any potential challenges and craft a plan to overcome them.
Food can play an important role in managing chronic health conditions, but you need an expert to guide you. Fay has dietitians specializing in diabetes, IBS, PCOS, thyroid health, obesity, and more. These providers can collaborate directly with your broader care team to ensure your nutrition plan is aligned with your ongoing treatments. Your RDN can do more than just make a meal plan based on your goals and condition – they can also educate you on the key factors of eating for that condition, empowering you to continue the care for yourself.
Health is foundational to wellbeing. Fay dietitians are qualified to support weight loss, hormonal imbalances, chronic disease, and much more. Collaborating with an RDN greatly increases your chances of success in meeting your goals. Whatever your nutrition goals are, you can find a board-certified registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in that area with Fay.
Food is intrinsically linked to our health and wellbeing. People who worked with a dietitian through Fay made lifestyle changes that had immense benefit to their physical health.
Making lifestyle changes surrounding food and nutrition had benefits that went beyond the physical. Food and our relationship with it, has far reaching implications on our emotional and mental health.
What to look for in an eating disorder nutritionist
Qualified registered dietitian
Registered dietitian nutritionist is a protected title that can only be used by those who meet the qualifications. A dietitian (RD or RDN) differs from a nutritionist in this respect, since that is not a protected title, meaning that, in some cases, anyone may use the term without any specific qualifications. All Fay providers are board-certified dietitians with vetted background experience.
Focus on disordered eating
Eating disorders require specific treatment and careful care. To recover fully, you will want to work with a dietitian who specializes in EDs to ensure you are getting the best possible treatment. You can check a provider’s profile to see their specialties or inquire about it during your initial consultation.
Compassionate care
Qualifications are important but so is a provider’s style. Eating disorder recovery requires a lot of trust. You will want to partner with a provider with whom you feel comfortable so you can be fully honest in order to truly heal. Use your initial consultation to get a feel for the dietitian’s approach to check whether you think it’s a good fit.
Custom approach
You are not your diagnosis. Every eating disorder recovery path is different. A good dietitian will take a custom approach tailored to your unique needs and struggles in order to achieve full recovery. You can ask about this process during your consultation to ensure you’re not getting a templated approach.

The painful cycle of living with an eating disorder
Unhealthy relationship with food
The biggest commonality among all eating disorders is an unhealthy relationship with food. Whether you eat too much or too little, are afraid of certain food, or refuse to eat anything you don’t deem “safe,” these rules and restrictions significantly affect your life. They don’t just impact your health but also your broader social life and general wellbeing.
Fixation on body image
Most (but not all) EDs fixate on body image. It’s not uncommon to have a warped perception of your own body or what you think it should look like. This fixation can dominate your thoughts, preventing you from meaningfully engaging in daily life. Living like this gets exhausting and is not sustainable.
Intense anxiety or fear
Disordered eating is driven by a combination of fear and desire for control. That’s why so many EDs involve intricate and specific rules – following the rules gives a sense of control but, in reality, they come from fear of what happens if the rules aren’t followed. This is often why dietitians refer to eating disorders as a voice in your head.
Health issues
All eating disorders present a danger to your health, both mentally and physically. Your skin, hormones, heart, and more can all suffer as a result. You may struggle with hair loss, low body temperature, heart palpitations, dizziness or fainting, teeth problems, gastrointestinal issues, and more. If left untreated, eating disorders can lead to long-term health issues and even death.
