- People in all “corners” of the state can receive care virtually – more people can get service.

- Important to learn about weight inclusivity early in the career.
- Integrity matters
- Create a packet for medical providers
- Supervision is key
- Relationships matter
- Less talking, more listening
- We need to know that we don’t know what we don’t know

Tammy has devoted most of her 30+ years of experience as a registered, licensed dietitian to the field of behavioral health, specifically eating disorders. Over the last 6.5 years, Tammy served on the executive clinical leadership team of Alsana Eating Recovery Centers as the nutrition thought leader and creator of Alsana's innovative nutrition programming, one of the five dimensions of care unique to Alsana's Adaptive Care Model. During her service, Alsana more than doubled in size, and the nutrition team expanded from <10 to 60+ registered dietitians with whom Tammy provided ongoing training and supervision. Under Tammy's creative expertise, Alsana developed the first residential eating disorder treatment program for vegan clients, representative of her passion for inclusivity for all individuals needing higher levels of care.
From the beginning of her nutrition career in 1985, Tammy has discovered her passion as a nutrition entrepreneur and visionary. She has collaborated with multi-disciplinary clinical, educational, and executive leadership teams to develop over ten first-of-its-kind nutrition and eating disorder-related programs at the city, state, regional, national, and international levels.

Tammy received the Recognized Young Dietitian of the Year award from the Florida Dietetic Association in 1995 while living and working in the Miami community. In 2007 the Alabama Dietetic Association recognized Tammy as the Outstanding Dietitian of the Year for her professional and community involvement since moving back to her home state in 1999.

Dr. Lampert shares her story of being in medical school but being drawn to nutrition.

Her graduate course is 2/3 practical, with different professionals sharing hands-on practices with the students. She is passionate about wellness in schools, reminding us that mental health and nutrition go together very well.

Jenny Copeland, PsyD
So many of us in the community, whether it’s in healthcare, or university settings, or fitness centers, are told “We don’t see eating disorders here”.
Dr. Copeland describes her setting in community mental health, and how they have grown to not only screen for eating disorders (and SHOCK to find many with Eds) but to provide excellent eating disorders care for those without insurance.
An important takeaway is to find your people who are willing to learn and train – this way more people can receive care. These case managers are like “Therapy Extenders”
We also learn what it’s like to have our bodies show up in the room, because our body as meaning in the room. What is Thin Privilege and how to work through grief if we are not in a privileged body.
It’s also important to have ‘lots of apologies’ for harm we didn’t intend to cause – not to have the client try to make us feel better, but showing them how WE are going to do the work.
What about standing on the scale? Is it more about the belief that it helps us ‘know how to eat’? Or could it be more about knowing how to feel?
Did you know that 70-80% of therapists are OC (over-controlled)? Dr. Copeland appreciates RO-DBT (radically open dialectical behavioral therapy) for people who like rules and routine and structure, and this is for eating disorders and so much more.

As dietitians, people often show up in our offices for a meal plan for weight reasons. This is often related to worry about actual or perceived potential for chronic illnesses like diabetes or GI concerns.
“Because I work with eating disorders, sessions with general health concerns are so different than they would have been – it opens up conversations, sort of ‘see the windows’ into disordered thoughts.”
Embracing a client’s goal for weight loss can be the entry point for the “why” which becomes a place to tell the food story. The sessions can be more wholistic, learning about relationship with food. This place is much more fulfilling for you and your client than handing out a meal plan or calculating calories.
Alexandra shares with us her 3 Steps to Eating More Simple Carbs and embracing both Cheetos and kale to ensure we don’t villainize foods that might be considered ‘health foods’. Language makes a difference - tune into descriptors like Good, Bad, Cheat Days
Video discussed today includes eating disorders in the elderly.
Alexandra’s Seasonings:
- Learn from each other
- Permission to Joy
- The basics are powerful – a balanced meal, macronutrients, pausing
- Ellyn Satter’s normal eating

Alexandra Georgiadis RDN, MPH
Alexandra Georgiadis started her career in nutrition in 2015 after receiving her masters in Public Health at the University of Michigan. At Essential Nutrition, a private practice in Boulder, Colorado, she is one of a group of registered dietitians who counsel and support clients on navigating their health through a non-diet approach and with a foundation of compassion, empathy, and a celebration of everyone’s unique journey. More recently specializing in eating disorder recovery, Alexandra has been fervently engrossed in continuing education on the topic and participates in group supervision with the other members of her team.
Working with eating disorder clients has not only been the most rewarding and educational experience of her career thus far, but it has enriched her ability to inspire meaningful progress when counseling people on a variety of other health topics. It has become apparent to her that no matter your nutrition goals, everyone should evaluate their relationship with food, and the healthier that relationship, the more effortless self-nourishment and healing become. Alexandra is excited about how dietetic practice is evolving to be more inclusive of the nuanced and qualitative aspects of nutrition, and is inspired by dietitians who are paving the way.

Joel Jahraus, MD, CEDS, FIAEDP, FAED
Many of our guests describe how there weren’t resources to help them learn what they needed to provide eating disorders care.
Thankfully, that has changed.
Several guests on The SeasonED RD also have referred to the iaedp Core Courses as an important part of their formation, and Dr. J was on the founding board for the courses.
He reflects how today, disciplines working together are clearly for the betterment of the patient. The doc was doing the best they could ‘back then’ without therapy and all the other components.
“It’s the integration of mental, medical, and nutrition that helps us as professionals and helps our patients get better”. Dr. J shares about a family member’s experience and adds that based on 35 years of experience, “It’s never too late to recover from an eating disorder”.
“You have to know your area but have to know the other areas", otherwise it’s a ‘superficial look’ at the patient
Core courses are built on clinical excellence.
Course 1 – History of Eating Disorders, Diagnostics, Social Justice, Diversity
Course 2 – Psychological treatment
Course 3 – Nutrition Treatment
Course 4 – Medical Treatment
Modules include - psychiatry, nursing, physical and occupational therapy, neurobiology,
Dr. J believes that eating disorders become a passion for professionals or they don’t like it at all. If it has become a passion of yours, consider getting the fundamental base core courses for Certification or for education (Affiliate).
At the time of the recording, there was not a decision about in-person or virtual core courses but the decision has been made for virtual.
Dr. J’s Seasonings:
*Key ingredient is obtaining the fundamentals through the Core Courses
*For the added flavor punch, the Symposium is a great place to get these courses as well as so much more
*There are no substitutes for collaboration
*Dr. J’s suggestion for ‘downtime’ reading of classics that you can hold in your hands, Easton Press Classics
