SUMMARY:Beyond Assumptions: Complexities at the Intersection of Diabetes and Eating Disorders in Latine Communities
DESCRIPTION:Eating disorders are often overlooked in Latine individuals living with diabetes\, where cultural context and routine medical practices can blur the line between necessary self-management and emerging harm. This session explores how family dynamics\, food traditions\, body ideals\, and structural stressors shape the way disordered eating presents — and how it is understood in care settings. Through case-based discussion\, participants will gain culturally responsive\, weight-inclusive considerations to approach this intersection with greater nuance\, curiosity\, and compassion.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives:\nFollowing this presentation\, participants will: \n\nAnalyze how cultural context and diabetes self-management practices can complicate recognition of disordered eating in Latine individuals. \nDifferentiate between medically indicated diabetes care behaviors and patterns that may signal emerging eating disorder behaviors. \nApply culturally responsive\, weight-inclusive considerations to clinical conversations and interdisciplinary collaboration when working with Latine patients navigating diabetes and disordered eating concerns.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel B: Skills and Application\n\n\n\nAt this level\, learners move beyond theory to actively apply knowledge in practical settings. Emphasis is on developing proficiency\, problem-solving\, and hands-on skills that can be implemented in real-world scenarios.

SUMMARY:Food Mad: The Nutritional Neuroscience of the Starved Brain
DESCRIPTION:Why does food have to come first in eating disorder recovery? This webinar unpacks the diet-disease relationship between malnutrition and the brain\, from grey matter loss to disrupted mood and motivation\, and makes the case that adequate nutrition is the biological precondition for recovery\, not a treatment goal. You will learn why a nutritionally compromised brain cannot drive its own recovery\, why external support is neurologically necessary\, and how to build aligned treatment teams whose shared understanding makes that support consistent and effective.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives:\nFollowing this presentation\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain the neurobiological mechanisms by which malnutrition impairs cognitive flexibility\, emotional regulation\, and behavioural change capacity in eating disorder presentations.\nDescribe the energy requirements and timeline for brain recovery during nutritional rehabilitation\, and apply this to inform clinical meal plan targets and treatment expectations.\nArticulate why a nutritionally compromised brain cannot drive its own recovery\, and use this framework to justify external mealtime support as a neurologically necessary\, not optional\, clinical intervention.\nUse neuroscience-informed language to communicate the brain-nutrition relationship clearly to clients\, families\, and multidisciplinary treatment teams\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel B: Skills and Application\n\n\nAt this level\, learners move beyond theory to actively apply knowledge in practical settings. Emphasis is on developing proficiency\, problem-solving\, and hands-on skills that can be implemented in real-world scenarios. Ideal for practitioners looking to strengthen their capabilities.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\nVictoria Schonwald NZRD Bio:\n\nVictoria Schonwald is a New Zealand-registered dietitian specialising in nutritional neuroscience and the nutritional rehabilitation of the compromised brain. Based in Christchurch and working through The Eat Clinic\, Victoria has spent seven years in a specialist eating disorder private practice\, working with individuals\, families\, and caregivers across the full spectrum of eating disorder presentations. \nVictoria’s clinical framework is built on a central argument: that adequate nutrition is the biological precondition for psychological recovery\, not an adjunct to it. Her work translates emerging neuroscience\, including brain volume changes\, neurotransmitter disruption\, hormonal consequences\, and cognitive impairment under malnutrition\, into accessible\, non-pathologising language for clinicians\, carers\, and people in recovery. She is the author of Food Mad: The Nutritional Neuroscience of the Starved Brain\, a resource that has been well received by clinicians and families internationally. Victoria is currently developing a practical companion to Food Mad\, focused on what recovery eating looks like in practice\, alongside clinical tools for assessing neurological readiness for recovery progression. \nVictoria is a supporter and voluntary speaker for the NZ Eating Disorders Charitable Society (NZEDCS)\, the primary eating disorder parent support organisation in New Zealand\, where she provides education and support to families navigating eating disorder recovery.

SUMMARY:Access Over Adherence: Neurodivergent Barriers to Eating in Eating Disorder Care
DESCRIPTION:Many eating disorder nutrition interventions were built for neurotypical nervous systems\, so when neurodivergent clients struggle to implement them\, it’s often mislabeled as “noncompliance” or “lack of motivation” rather than a mismatch between the plan and the person’s access needs. \nIn this interactive\, case-based webinar\, we’ll translate sensory experience\, interoception differences\, executive functioning\, and medical complexity into practical\, day-to-day strategies that make eating more doable—without turning treatment into a compliance contest. \nYou’ll leave with an Access Map\, capacity-based planning tools\, and clinician scripts you can use within your respective clinical practice.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives:\nFollowing this presentation\, participants will: \n\nDifferentiate common neurodivergent barriers to eating—sensory processing\, interoception differences\, executive functioning\, movement/motor planning differences\, trauma/mental health factors\, and medical complexity—using targeted assessment questions to identify the primary “bottleneck” to nourishment.\nApply an accessibility-focused framework to adapt core ED nutrition interventions (regular eating\, variety\, flexibility\, meal planning) into individualized supports that increase follow-through without reinforcing shame\, rigidity\, or compliance-based treatment dynamics.\nDesign capacity-based nutrition plans (e.g.\, Level 1–5 meal supports\, high- vs low-bandwidth meal options\, emergency food systems\, low-demand structures) that maintain nourishment during burnout\, symptom flares\, and fluctuating capacity.\nImplement neurodivergent-affirming language and documentation strategies that validate disability-related barriers while maintaining ED treatment focus and defining measurable progress markers beyond “eating normally” (e.g.\, consistency\, reduced friction\, reduced distress\, increased access).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel B: Skills and Application\n\n\nAt this level\, learners move beyond theory to actively apply knowledge in practical settings. Emphasis is on developing proficiency\, problem-solving\, and hands-on skills that can be implemented in real-world scenarios. Ideal for practitioners looking to strengthen their capabilities.\n  \n\n\nJacs Scheinman RDN\, LDN (he/him) Bio:\nJacs Scheinman (he/him) is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with 5+ years of experience providing values-driven nutrition counseling for neurodivergent clients and affirming care for LGBTQIA+ communities. His clinical work centers sensory- and executive function-friendly eating\, feeding differences (including ARFID)\, body image and dysphoria support\, and care for clients with complex health needs such as GI conditions\, chronic pain\, and hypermobility-related conditions.\nAs a queer\, AuDHD\, epileptic clinician\, Jacs practices from a trauma-informed\, neurodiversity-affirming lens and integrates non-diet/HAES-informed principles with approaches drawn from Responsive Feeding Therapy and third-wave modalities (ACT/DBT/IFS) to support clients in real-world contexts. He has presented for professional audiences\, including CPSDA and has published peer-reviewed research related to transgender and gender-diverse nutrition care.

SUMMARY:Translating Motivational Interviewing Theory into Practice for Treating Orthorexia
DESCRIPTION:The conversations that occur between healthcare providers and their clients are powerful ones\, capable of either supporting or inhibiting the innate change process that exists within all of us. When working with individuals experiencing orthorexia\, these conversations can become especially complex as “healthy eating” beliefs and rigid food rules are often deeply tied to identity\, safety\, and self-worth. The most helpful thing about you\, as a clinician\, is not the advice you give or the solutions you offer\, but the space you hold for clients to explore ambivalence\, flexibility\, and the possibility of something different for themselves.  \nIn this webinar\, Dana Sturtevant will explore how MI techniques can be applied when counseling someone with orthorexia\, with a focus on reducing defensiveness\, navigating rigid health identities without reinforcing disordered beliefs\, and gently guiding clients toward greater flexibility around food and eating.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives:\nFollowing this presentation\, participants will be able to: \n\nRecognize MI-consistent strategies for clients who strongly identify with “clean eating” or “healthy eating purity.”\nApply spirit (PACE) and skills (OARS) of MI to reduce defensiveness and increase discrepancy awareness.\nNavigate “health identity” without reinforcing disordered beliefs.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel B: Skills and Application\nAt this level\, learners move beyond theory to actively apply knowledge in practical settings. Emphasis is on developing proficiency\, problem-solving\, and hands-on skills that can be implemented in real-world scenarios. Ideal for practitioners looking to strengthen their capabilities.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\nDana Sturtevant\, MS\, RD\, LD (she/her) Bio:\n\nDana Sturtevant\, M.S.\, R.D. (she/her) is the co-founder of the Center for Body Trust\, co-author of the book Reclaiming Body Trust\, and co-host of The Body Trust Podcast. As a registered dietitian\, she helps people divest from diet culture\, explore what it means to be embodied\, and move toward more compassionate forms of radical care. Her work as a speaker\, educator\, and trainer focuses on humanizing health care\, advancing health equity\, and advocating for food and body sovereignty. For the past 22 years\, Dana has trained thousands of health care providers in Motivational Interviewing. As a sought-after speaker and writer\, Dana is a champion for weight-inclusive models of care and offers supervision\, training\, and consultation for helping professionals and health care organizations.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Intersection Between ADHD and Eating Disorders
DESCRIPTION:This webinar dives into the overlap between ADHD and eating disorders: two conditions that show up together a lot in practice\, but are often missed or misunderstood. People with ADHD experience differences in motivation\, impulse control\, and executive functioning that can make eating regularly and nourishing themselves consistently really hard. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll explore how dietitians can support clients with ADHD through practical\, compassionate\, and realistic approaches: ones that work with the ADHD brain instead of against it. Through case examples\, relatable client scenarios\, and tangible tools\, participants will leave with ideas on how they can better support this population in their work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives:\nFollowing this presentation\, participants will: \n\nUnderstand how ADHD affects focus\, motivation\, reward\, and decision-making around food.\nRecognize how symptoms like inattention\, impulsivity\, and emotional dysregulation can show up in eating patterns (like skipping meals\, binge eating\, or chaotic eating).\nIdentify the biggest barriers clients with ADHD face around structure\, consistency\, and nutrition follow-through.\nApply ADHD-informed strategies that make meal planning and nourishment feel doable\, not shame-based.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel B: Skills and Application\n\n\nAt this level\, learners move beyond theory to actively apply knowledge in practical settings. Emphasis is on developing proficiency\, problem-solving\, and hands-on skills that can be implemented in real-world scenarios. Ideal for practitioners looking to strengthen their capabilities.\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\nVanessa Anoia\, DtP\, RDN Bio:\n\nVanessa Anoia is a Registered Dietitian working in Canada and the United States\, specializing in the treatment of eating disorders\, disordered eating\, and sports nutrition for people of all ages.
