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:Nutrition Counseling Course Group Supervision with Annyck Besso
DESCRIPTION:This monthly study group is open to those registered for our Empower Your Practice: Advanced Nutrition Counseling For Dietitians Through a Relational Lens Course. Join us for support and to learn more about working with and counseling individual clients. Remember to register in advance! \nRegister here!  \nAnnyck Besso\, DtP\, RD\, MSc (She/Elle) Bio: \n\n\n\nAnnyck Besso is a registered dietitian who has been working with individuals with eating disorders and disordered eating for the last decade. Annyck is also the founder of Sööma\, a multidisciplinary private practice in Montreal Canada and the United States.  Annyck is originally from Montreal\, Canada\, where she worked at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute on the pediatric eating disorder inpatient unit after finishing her masters. She then had the opportunity to work in private practice in Washington\, DC for three years. Annyck founded Sööma in 2020\, with a vision to provide inclusive\, collaborative and client-centered care to individuals of all ages. Annyck manages a team of registered dietitians and psychologists who specialize in treating athletes\, adolescents\, and adults who experience disordered eating\, under-fueling\, and eating disorders.  Annyck has always valued and believed that understanding an individual’s experience with food and their body\, being curious about their story\, and understanding the emotional and psychological barriers to change were the keys to long-standing recovery\, whatever that looks like for each individual. Throughout her career\, Annyck has received specialty training in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)\, Family Based Treatment (FBT)\, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)\, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)\, which are used heavily throughout her nutrition interventions. Annyck’s clientele consists mainly of severe and enduring anorexia cases\, adolescents and their families receiving Family Based Treatment\, and athletes wanting to perform in their sports but being limited due to disordered eating behaviors. Annyck strongly believes in a harm reduction approach\, where a client is free to choose whether recovery feels possible or accessible. By offering a trauma-informed space\, Annyck sees each individual as having the capacity to choose what is best and most accessible to them at any time in their treatment.  Wanting to contribute to training and education on the role of the dietitian in the treatment of eating disorders\, Annyck has invested time in sharing her knowledge and experience with students and other professionals. She feels passionate about accompanying dietitians in using various therapeutic approaches in their nutrition counseling to provide care that is centered around the client’s experience. Annyck became a McGill Affiliate Member in 2020 and feels honored to be able to change the way eating disorder care is taught at McGill University through her guest lecturing. Annyck has also had the opportunity to offer various presentations through EDRD Pro to assist dietitians in feeling confident about delving deeper into their nutrition work with clients. Beyond teaching and training\, Annyck offers supervision to dietitians throughout Canada and the United States where she provides an opportunity for dietitians to reflect on their experience with various cases\, barriers that may show up preventing them from being curious\, and personal and professional development to dietitians at any point in their career.  Beyond any specific nutrition intervention\, Annyck strongly believes in providing client-centered care\, seeing past an individual’s diagnosis\, and understanding how their eating disorder once protected them and how it currently serves them. In her work\, she creatively adapts to circumstances and the client’s experiences to offer a nutrition approach that is individualized\, trauma-informed\, and evidence-based.

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.
