SUMMARY:Binge Eating Disorder Treatment for Dietitians October Study Group
DESCRIPTION:This 60-minute live virtual study group is open and free to all enrolled in the EDRD Pro Binge Eating Disorder: Treatment: A Course for Dietitians! Hosted by Aaron Flores\, the aim of this hour is to have a space to continue to increase knowledge and skills for dietitians supporting clients with Binge Eating Disorder. This group will complement BED course content and allow for questions related to course material. \nThere is no group size limit at this time (subject to change)\, but registration is required in advance. Dietitians will earn 1 CE credit for course attendance: groups will not be recorded to maintain privacy and encourage open discussion\, so attendance is expected. Upon registration\, please submit a brief description of a question\, dilemma\, and/or theme that you’d like to ask Aaron for discussion with the group. \nThis study group will meet on Monday\, October 5th\, at 2 pm PDT (USA) / Tuesday\, October 6th\, at 8 am AEDT (Australia). \nRegister here! \nQuestions? Please email Aaron at aaronfloresrdn@gmail.com. \n\n\n\n\nFAQs: \nExamples of Questions and/or Themes to Submit: \n\nA practice dilemma\nA difficult conversation (with a client\, colleague\, another provider\, caregiver\, etc.)\nA boundary issue (e.g.\, emailing between sessions)\nSomething you’ve been feeling stuck with\nStages of change\nWorking with shame\, grief\, body image\nScope of practice\nReflecting\, affirming\, other counseling skills\nObjective vs Subjective binge eating\nHow do I know when someone is ready to move on to more Intuitive Eating?\nDiscussing sudden changes in weight\n\nCan I attend each month? \nYes\, for now\, there is no limit to how often you can attend. Registration is open to all enrolled students in the EDRD Pro Binge Eating Disorder: Treatment: A Course for Dietitians. \nCan I submit a case for discussion? \nThis group is not a specific case consultation opportunity because individual case scenarios require more time and are ideal for 1:1 supervision. Both Aaron Flores and Fiona Sutherland\, our BED Course hosts\, offer supervision if this is what you are seeking. \nWill I receive CE credit? \nYes\, if you log your attendance at the end of the meeting\, you will receive 1 CE credit hour for attendance.

SUMMARY:Fueling the Future: Recognizing and Treating ARFID in Youth Sport
DESCRIPTION:While recognition of ARFID in youth populations is improving\, it is still often overlooked or dismissed as age-appropriate picky eating. However\, ARFID symptoms often become more apparent and severe in adolescent athletes as training volume increases significantly. This presentation describes how and why ARFID uniquely manifests in youth athletic settings. \nAttendees will learn about the primary medical\, developmental\, and performance consequences of ARFID in athletes\, highlighting emerging research. The session will highlight the importance of thoughtful\, coordinated care among medical providers\, dietitians\, mental health clinicians\, coaches\, and families. \nCase examples will be used to illustrate best practices for nutritional restoration. Participants will learn how to deliver effective nutrition interventions for ARFID in young athletes\, and how best to work collaboratively with the individual’s existing support team.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives:\nFollowing this presentation\, participants will: \n\nDescribe the medical\, nutritional\, and psychological risks of ARFID in young athletes\, including impacts on growth\, development\, bone health\, and performance.\nIdentify 3 key red flags/indicators of ARFID specific to youth in competitive sports\nList 3 evidence-based nutrition interventions for youth athletes with ARFID (in order of importance/urgency)\nName 3 tips for communicating effectively with families and coaches/training staff\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. Ideal for practitioners looking to strengthen their capabilities.\n\n  \n\n\nMegan Hellner\, DrPH\, MPH\, RD Bio:\n\nDr. Megan Hellner is a California-based researcher and registered dietitian with 20(ish) years of experience treating athletes with eating disorders.

SUMMARY:Weight Inclusive Diabetes and Eating Disorders October Consult Group
DESCRIPTION:Join your colleagues for a monthly group consultation focused specifically on supporting your clients & patients with diabetes and eating disorders/disordered eating\, facilitated by Erin Phillips\, MPH\, RD\, CDCES\, eating disorder dietitian and diabetes specialist. \nIn this laid-back group format\, we’ll discuss specific questions and topics brought by you specific to diabetes and disordered eating. People with diabetes are up to three times as likely to develop an eating disorder than those without diabetes\, but many clinicians feel that the recommendations for each of these diagnoses contradict each other\, leaving you and your clients & patients feeling stuck. This group is intended to provide guidance to this nuance. \nTo get you started\, here are some examples of what you might bring to the group: \n\nMedications\, side effects\, and how to discuss them with your client/patient\nWhere to start when your ED client/patient is diagnosed with diabetes\nWhat to know about insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors\nCase consultation on co-occurring diabetes and eating disorder\n\nRegistration is required\, and we’ll limit the number of members to 8 in order to keep it participatory. The group will take place monthly and will require registration each month. After registering\, you’ll receive information about where to send questions\, topics\, or your case study. \nRegistration opens here two weeks prior to the event. \n\n\n\n\n\nErin Phillips Bio:\nErin (she/her) is a Registered Dietitian (RD) whose work is grounded in Health at Every Size and fat-positive nutrition. She has an advanced certification as a diabetes specialist (CDCES) and has spent most of her career working with people living with all types of diabetes. \nShe has a private practice that focuses primarily on the intersection of diabetes and eating disorders. She works with people living with diabetes through individual counseling as well as providing consultation to clinicians looking to be more grounded and confident in supporting their clients and patients with co-occurring diagnoses of diabetes and eating disorders. \nWhile she loves geeking out over diabetes technology and blood sugar trends\, Erin also uses therapeutic techniques to guide her clients toward self-compassion and embodiment and finds both of these equally helpful in making peace with food and diabetes. \nErin has been a dietitian since 2008 and received advanced training in eating disorders\, HAES\, and Intuitive Eating. She has an undergraduate degree in food and nutrition science from Seattle Pacific University and a graduate degree in public health nutrition from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. \nOutside of the office\, she loves rock climbing in the pacific northwest\, breakfast\, and showing you pictures of her cat (as often as you’ll let her!).

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:Ready Before You Feel Ready: Growing a Career That Fits
DESCRIPTION:Many dietitians struggle with feeling “not expert enough” while quietly wanting more from their careers. This webinar challenges perfectionism and imposter thinking\, offering practical strategies to build confidence\, take aligned risks\, and define success on your own terms. Attendees will leave with renewed clarity\, actionable mindset tools\, and a roadmap toward a career that feels sustainable and deeply fulfilling.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives:\nFollowing this presentation\, participants will: \n\nDifferentiate between externally driven definitions of success and values-aligned professional ambition.\nIdentify aspects of their current work that energize versus deplete them using a structured reflection tool.\nReframe imposter narratives and perfectionism using practical mindset strategies.\nDevelop one actionable step toward building a more aligned and sustainable career path.\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\nAnnyck Besso\, MSc.\, RDN Bio:\nAnnyck Besso\, RD\, is a registered dietitian and entrepreneur who has spent the past decade working with individuals experiencing eating disorders and disordered eating. She is the founder and clinical director of Sööma\, a multidisciplinary private practice serving clients across Montreal\, Canada (sooma.ca) and Fueling for Recovery\, a virtual practice in the United States (fuelingforrecovery.com). Since launching Sööma\, Annyck has grown the practice into a collaborative team of registered dietitians and psychologists specializing in the care of athletes\, adolescents\, and adults navigating eating disorders and under-fueling.\n\nOriginally from Montreal\, Annyck began her career at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute on the pediatric eating disorder inpatient unit after completing her master’s degree. She later expanded her clinical experience in private practice in Washington\, DC\, where she deepened her commitment to trauma-informed\, evidence-based care. Drawing from this foundation\, she built Sööma with a vision of inclusive\, client-centered\, and values-driven treatment — integrating strong clinical work with sustainable\, ethical business practices. As both clinician and business owner\, Annyck is passionate about redefining what ambition can look like in helping professions. She values curiosity\, collaboration\, and long-term relationship building — not only with clients\, but within her team and professional community. She actively mentors and supervises dietitians across Canada and the United States\, supporting them in developing therapeutic skills\, navigating complex cases\, and building careers that feel aligned and sustainable.\n\nThroughout her career\, Annyck has received specialty training in evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)\, Family Based Treatment (FBT)\, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)\, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)\, which inform her nutrition interventions. Her clinical work often includes severe and enduring anorexia\, adolescents and families participating in Family Based Treatment\, and athletes whose performance is impacted by disordered eating. She practices from a harm reduction and trauma-informed lens\, honoring each individual’s autonomy and readiness for change.\n\nCommitted to advancing education in eating disorder care\, Annyck is a McGill Affiliate Member and guest lecturer\, contributing to the training of future dietitians. She has also presented through EDRDPro and other professional platforms\, helping dietitians integrate therapeutic approaches into their nutrition counseling with confidence and depth. Beyond any specific intervention\, Annyck believes in seeing beyond diagnosis — understanding how an eating disorder once served a protective role and supporting clients in building new ways of coping that align with their values and goals.

SUMMARY:October Case Consult with Alison Pelz\, LD\, RDN\, LCSW
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our monthly members-only case consult peer/professional supervision call. We will discuss your client cases with guest Alison Pelz\, LD\, RDN\, LCSW. \nAlison was formerly an RD but is now a family-based therapist who sees clients of all ages and eating disorders\, but mostly ARFID. She prefers to use family based recovery focused therapy with clients. \nPlease submit your case in advance by emailing a short summary and your question/s to info@edrdpro.com. All members are welcome to submit a case and join us for the discussion hour. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlison Pelz\, LD\, RDN\, LCSW Bio:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI believe change is possible for all people. Psychotherapy is a powerful tool to help facilitate change and create the life that you want. As a psychotherapist and registered dietitian\, I bring a unique set of skills to help people heal their relationship with food.\nMy goal is to work collaboratively with clients to reduce food and weight preoccupation and teach clients to trust their bodies\, rather than a diet\, to know how to feed themselves. I use a variety of treatment modalities in my practice\, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy\, Internal Family Systems\, mindfulness & stress reduction\, and education to help clients free themselves from food issues\, anxiety\, depression\, and relationship issues.\n\nFor over fifteen years\, I have been providing nutritional counseling to clients.  I hold a bachelor’s degree in Nutritional Science from California Polytechnic State University.  I have been a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) since 1997 and have worked in a variety of settings including hospitals\, clinics\, doctors’ offices\, and private practice.  For over ten years\, I have been a Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE). In 2005 I earned a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin and currently I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).\nWhen I am not working\, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children\, traveling\, and gardening.
