Congratulations to Megan Gamerman, MS, LDN, on becoming a Certified Body Trust® Provider through the Center for Body Trust! 🎉

This advanced certification reflects Megan’s deep commitment to providing weight-inclusive, compassionate care to help her clients heal their relationships with food, body, and self.

The Body Trust® approach challenges weight stigma and diet culture while supporting people in reconnecting with their bodies through respect, autonomy, and trust.

Becoming a Certified Body Trust® Provider involves extensive professional training, mentorship, and personal reflection designed to help practitioners develop the language, skills, and critical analysis needed for deeper conversations about bodies, food, weight, and health. The certification program is intended for experienced helping professionals and prepares providers to embody and apply Body Trust principles in their work.

For those who know Megan, this achievement is no surprise. As a fat-positive dietitian with more than a decade of experience supporting individuals with eating disorders and those recovering from the harms of weight stigma, she has long been dedicated to creating a space where clients feel respected, affirmed, and understood.

We're so proud of Megan for continuing to expand her expertise and for bringing this valuable perspective to the clients and families we serve every day.

There are so many things you can do WITH your body this summer. When you focus on how your body looks… and changing it, you steal the opportunity to make amazing memories.

How could you let go of making your body a “project” this summer?

What could this open up for you?

Life transitions are challenging for individuals in recovery from an eating disorder.

They bring added stress, uncertainty, and vulnerability. This leads to feeling “out of control”.

Whether it’s starting a new job, going away to college, moving, returning home, or navigating a new stage of treatment, periods of change can disrupt routines and increase eating disorder thoughts and behaviors.

If someone you love is struggling, remember: you don’t have to fix them. They have a treatment team to support their recovery. One of the most meaningful things you can offer is your presence, patience, and unconditional support.

Recovery isn’t linear, and difficult seasons don’t erase progress. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply show up, listen, and remind them they don’t have to navigate the transition alone. 💛

1 in 5 women experience postpartum depression.

It's one of the most common complications of pregnancy and childbirth. And arguably, the most concerning.

What you may not know is that individuals with a history of eating disorders or disordered eating are at even greater risk of postpartum depression and anxiety disorders.

Pregnancy and postpartum bring significant physical, emotional, and hormonal changes. For some, these changes can trigger body image concerns, food-related anxiety, or the return of eating disorder thoughts and behaviors.

If you're struggling, get support. This isn't something you can or should manage alone. Finding time to care for yourself as a new mom is challenging AND so important.

Medication is the most effective approach. Some women worry medication may not be safe for their baby, particularly while breastfeeding. However, this isn't true and the reality is, leaving postpartum mood disorders untreated is far less safe.

Working with a team that includes a prescriber, a therapist, and registered dietitian can make a meaningful difference during this transition.

You deserve support, we want to provide it!

Don’t measure recovery by how often you slip.
Measure it by how often you return.

The unknown can feel scarier than the familiar, even when the familiar is hurting you. That’s why setbacks are a normal part of recovery, not proof that you’ve failed.

Keep coming back. That’s where healing happens. 💛

How often do you hear some of these phrases?

Truth is, they’re used so commonly we likely don’t even notice them. Or recognize the harm.

“I was bad this weekend.”
“I need to burn this off.”
“I’m being good today.”
“I feel huge.”

Diet culture doesn’t just exist in ads, wellness influencer feeds or before and after photos.

It shows up every day in casual conversations, jokes, compliments, guilt, and the way we learn to talk about our bodies.

When this language becomes normalized, over time, we internalize that:

- our worth is tied to our body size
- food needs to be earned or punished for
- movement is only valuable if it changes our appearance
- guilt after eating is expected
- shrinking ourselves is something to be praised

Over time, these messages increase body shame, disconnection from hunger/fullness cues, anxiety around food, compulsive exercise, and feelings of never being “good enough.”

And, for anyone struggling with eating disorders, trauma, or body image concerns, these comments can reinforce harmful beliefs that are already deeply rooted.

Even when said casually, they normalize shame and make disordered thoughts feel socially acceptable. It becomes a way we connect and feel a sense of social belonging.

But the good news is, we have a choice. We can become more aware. Awareness starts with noticing what we’ve normalized.

You deserve a relationship with your body built on compassion…. not punishment.

Your mental health deserves specialized care.

While primary care providers can help start the conversation around medication for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other mental health concerns, psychiatric providers like Psychiatric NPs and psychiatrists have advanced training specifically in mental health diagnosis and medication management.

A psychiatric specialist can help with:

✔️ Specialized medication management
✔️ Complex mental health conditions
✔️ Close monitoring of progress
✔️ A deeper understanding of emotional wellbeing
✔️ Collaborative, whole-person care

Mental health treatment is not “one size fits all,” and having the right provider can make a significant difference in your journey toward feeling better.

If you want to learn more about psychiatric medication management, set up a complementary 15 minute session with our psychiatric nurse practitioner, Emma O’Toole using the link below! 😊

Happy Pride Month 🌈

As Pride Month begins, we want to acknowledge that LGBTQIA+ individuals are disproportionately affected by eating disorders and disordered eating. Research consistently shows that people across the LGBTQIA+ community, particularly transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse individuals—face significantly higher rates of body dissatisfaction, eating disorders, and barriers to accessing affirming care.

These disparities do not exist in a vacuum. They are shaped by stigma, discrimination, social isolation, barriers to healthcare, and systems that too often fail to recognize and support the full diversity of human experiences.

In the current political climate, many LGBTQIA+ individuals face increased threats to their safety, rights, and health, adding additional layers of stress and vulnerability.

At our practice, creating a welcoming, affirming, and protective space for LGBTQIA+ clients is not limited to Pride Month—it is an ongoing commitment. We continually seek education and training to deepen our understanding of the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ communities. We regularly examine and update our policies, procedures, forms, and practices to reduce barriers, affirm identities, protect privacy, and help ensure that every person who enters our space feels respected, valued, and safe.

We recognize that allyship is not a destination but a continuous process of learning, listening, and taking action. We remain committed to doing that work, standing alongside LGBTQIA+ individuals, and providing compassionate, evidence-based care that honors each person’s lived experience.

This Pride Month, we celebrate the resilience, strength, and diversity of LGBTQIA+ communities, while reaffirming our commitment to creating spaces where all people can pursue healing, recovery, and well-being as their authentic selves.

We value you - all of you. What makes you unique makes you beautiful. You are welcome here. You deserve care that sees, respects, and affirms who you are. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⚧️

Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions. Often tied to complex trauma.

Never say to someone with an eating disorder “I wish I had that problem” 😔

They are NOT lifestyle choices or vanity. Or about “good will power”.

This is why trauma-informed care is so important - behaviors exist for a reason. They serve a purpose.

Compassion and understanding of what lies beneath the behaviors change the conversation and lead to deeper healing.❤️‍🩹
