Eating disorders are a serious psychological illness requiring urgent medical nutrition intervention. If you have noticed the warning signs in someone you love, such as preoccupation with food and weight loss, excessive exercise, skipping meals and/or concerns with body size and image, we want to help promote and support a positive and healthy relationship with food.
Anorexia Nervosa
Typically associated with abnormally low body weight, intense fear of weight gain and inadequate dietary intake, begins with providing psychological support to promote a healthy relationship with food.
Binge eating
Binge eating behaviour is characterised by compensatory behaviours, whether that be over exercise or self- induced vomiting, to combat the emotional guilt of overeating. This is a serious mental illness and begins with providing psychological support to promote a healthy relationship with food.
Disordered eating
Disordered eating sits on the spectrum between normal eating and an eating disorder, and may include very restrictive diets, compulsive eating, irregular eating patterns, use of diet pills, fasting.
