Rebecka Peebles, MD Which comes first- Improved body image or weight gain? Kids WILL grow out before they grow up. AAN (‘Atypical Anorexia’) takes longer to get periods back, not clear with males. Goal weight is the place where body and brain are healthy – HEALTHY STATE HOW RIGID ARE COGNITIONS?? –It’s the last thing to get better. Physical and mental – if we have estimated weight goal and look ok physically but rigidity is still there, we still need to push. What do Leptin levels tell us? – or not.

Dr. Kamila Cass, PhD, CEDS-S, (she/her/hers) Dr. Cass tells us that our patients can FEEL when we believe them and that they need to know, so strongly, that they have a right to treatment no matter how many times they need it. They have a right to be wrestling with their eating disordered cognitions- it's not their fault that these thoughts were there it's happening to them they didn't ask for them. Mechanisms of ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) They usually WANT to gain weight. Let's create a home where they feel safe and very believed. The full team is used: OT, PT, and RD in service of treating them where they need it most. EDE-Q doesn’t work for ARFID Why don’t clinicians BELIEVE what’s happening? What’s happening in the brain? ARFID – goes back to childhood, maybe infancy, maybe had a hard time eating back then. Check out this episode of the SesaonED RD with Dr. Jenny Thomas on ARFID. Dr. Cass’ Seasonings: *Dr. Bulik’s research – Eating Disorders as a psycho-metabolic condition. Dr. Bulik’s episode. *This is not just in the head, we need to believe and UNSHAME having a mental illness *Patients can open up and do the very hard work when they are completely believed. *Eating Disorders have little to do with poor parenting and everything to do with providing support and being an agent of change. *Family-based treatment *Have hope and with the same amount of courage our clients have, *People do get better, leaning into the support of the community. *Supervision!

Erin Nicole Harrop, LICSW, PhD What is it like to compare treatment received for anorexia nervosa when you're at the low end of the weight spectrum (“typical”) and then not at the lower end (“atypical”). Dr Erin Harrop describes this experience, how they were treated and what it felt like. And then gives us professionals tips to do better. It’s not just weight stigma that influences how we feel about our bodies, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia. Explain “While I try, however imperfectly, to address the effects of weight stigma, nutrition work is never neutral – always taking a side on weight and wellness. "Cheeseburger challenge" – may feel like a dare from my dietitian Abbi asks an important question – “How do I do this weight inclusive work and honoring my thin privilege when it feels uncomfortable?” Ignoring discrimination is a privilege of people with privilege Ethical care acknowledges weight stigma. Here's a way to tee-up a weight inclusive approach... As a nutrition provider I don't focus on weight. “I’m going to make mistakes, I’m deeply committed to giving you the BEST, most ethical, MOST proficient care that I can, and I’m gonna keep showing up and IF something happens as we’re working together that makes you feel uncomfortable, please let me know because I’m learning too. I want to do the best I can to not cause further harm.” What NOT to say, “I’m not going to let you get fat” AND if we make mistakes we can (and should) repair. Part of the healing is actually treating higher weight patients like eating disorder patients.

Dr. Jenny Thomas, PhD What is Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder? Restriction without body image What would cause someone to restrict food if it wasn’t to change the body? Phenotypes described - Three types can occur in same individual (ARFID Plus) What works? - Exposure therapy, Cooking therapy, sometimes speech therapy, eating at regular times, the body will come to expect that. Division of responsibility doesn’t match this diagnosis. Enough preferred foods first so enough calories, then slowly introduce variety.
