I wish Megan Kniskern, MS, CEDRD-S would have been MY professor. I’m serious about this. It would have saved years of unlearning.
Megan reminds us as professionals that “you’re gonna see eating disorders no matter WHERE you work” therefore she teaches body image and weight stigma in EVERY class from general nutrition to management.
She teaches these to help every student no longer be afraid. No longer be afraid both personally (“because many students don’t know how to eat, and are genuinely terrified”) and professionally (you’re not just beating your head against a wall trying to get people to eat when they don’t want to).
Megan gives Abbi some guidance with the question “Do we talk about weight loss with our clients?”
And big advice to all new clinicians, (not just RDs), DON’T KILL YOURSELVES TRYING TO LEARN EVERYTHING IN THE FIRST YEAR.
Megan’s new online training launches in September of this year, and it’s titled, Deepen Your Perspectives: Nutrition Therapy for Mental Health. You can learn more via her website www.MAKrd.com or you can join her newsletter entitled Munchies by DM on Instagram or via email at megan.nutrition@gmail.com.

Dr. Kari Anderson shares her “Secret Sauce” and tips about:
-
How to allow clients a state of safety and a state without fear
-
How we can create the therapeutic connection so clients get the most out of our care
-
Her therapeutic concept of seeing the body in a state of fear or in a state of love
-
The dangers of bringing in preconceived ideas because of a diagnosis
-
And the power of centering therapy around “Tell me what it’s like to be you”
From Beth: There is a moment in this podcast that demonstrates that ED RDs are much more than a food person or even a food-relationship person with our clients. Dr. Anderson guides Beth in her real-time dilemma concerning a client situation, something we are not taught in dietetics school and that is only learned by vulnerability and love.

Michelle Laging PT, DPT, CPPC, CEDS
A Doctorate of Physical Therapy, Michelle is one of few eating disorder-sensitive and informed physical therapists. She began her career as an inpatient physical therapist at Denver Health in 2008 and began to explore the integration of physical therapy services to individuals admitted to the ACUTE Center for Eating Disorders at Denver Health. It was here that Michelle cultivated her passion to provide excellent physical therapy care to this patient population by coordinating a mobility program and providing individual patient care for approximately 11 years. Sensing the need for similar services in the outpatient world, Michelle created her private practice, Movement is Medicine Physical Therapy & Wellness, in January of 2019. Here she blends her background as a yoga and fitness instructor with her physical therapy skills for rehabilitation, injury prevention, and education to encourage clients to participate in movement and “healthy” reconnection with the body.
Michelle has been published in The Journal of Acute Care Physical Therapy and was a contributing text editor for Pathology: Implications for The Physical Therapist. She is a member of iaedp™, an inconsistent member of the APTA (American Physical Therapy Association), and a member of the Global Pelvic Health Alliance (GPHAM). She regularly lectures to the physical therapy students at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus to provide education on eating disorders and the importance of physical therapy care. She has completed training to become a pelvic health physical therapist and completed her certification as a pre and postnatal coach through Girls Gone Strong. Throughout her career, Michelle has advocated for physical therapy to be a recognized profession in the field of eating disorders and, in February 2020, became the first physical therapist to become a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist (CEDS) through iaedp™… and hopeful to be among many other physical therapists to hold this designation soon!
Michelle recognizes the intersection between dysfunctional exercise, disordered eating, body dysmorphia, and decreased connectedness with the body that can be common within all of us. She continues to learn about pelvic health and is currently interested in training to become a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner through the great work of Peter Levine. In her free time, she enjoys reading and learning ALL the things, participating in classes at her local gym, hiking 14’ers, cycling, and living life with her husband and 2 young kids.
