My name is Janelle Hunt, and as a Registered Dietitian, I’m excited to be joining the team of therapists at Positive Pathways! I’ve specialized in treating Eating Disorders for the past twelve years, and I am an EDIT™ Certified Counselor who can offer nutrition counseling and much more. I welcome the opportunity to be a guide on your journey of recovery!
What can I expect when I work with a dietitian?
I’ve found that many of clients have either had bad experiences with dietitians or are confused at the role an eating disorders dietitian can play in their recovery. First of all, I’m not going to change everything you are currently eating! I focus on taking the judgment out of what you eat or don’t eat and help you learn to understand your intuitive cues. Your current and previous behaviors and dietary intake have likely played the role as a coping tool, so it’s important to understand this and give yourself grace during the recovery process. We work together as a team, and I find a balance to point out ways we can work on adjusting your dietary intake to help you decrease behaviors and meet your individual goals.
What can I learn about nutrition to support my recovery?
Certain nutrient deficiencies or the way we eat can greatly impact depression, anxiety, mental function, as well as how we feel physically. So, it’s my job as an eating disorders dietitian to guide you to achieve an overall better sense of well-being. I will help you work on eliminating your good and bad thinking around food as I believe we can incorporate all food into our lives and enjoy it. Many clients who have struggled with disordered eating often have a significant amount of nutrition knowledge, but I can help you sift through this information to determine facts vs myths. I work at your pace but am here to help push you just outside of your comfort zone.
My hope is that this helps clarify my role as an eating disorders dietitian, and helps to ease any fears. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or would like to set up a complimentary consultation. I hope to meet you soon!
