Toni Kohn, MS, RD: Nutrition Therapy for Eating Disorders
I am a dietitian who specializes in working with eating disorders, or disordered eating. It is my life's passion to help people navigate their way out of a destructive relationship to food, helping them learn what the underlying issues are that propel their eating choices to be made from fear and shame rather than freedom, choice, and empowerment. I believe complete recovery is possible. I truly love this work, all of its challenges, and all of it's complexity.
I believe:
It's not about the food.
It's not about the weight.
It's about how you think.
And that's changeable!
I had an eating disorder in my early 20's, and have first hand knowledge of how much pain they cause. I got a lot of amazing support in my recovery, but one person who really made a difference was the dietitian I worked with. I had worked with one before that I believe actually contributed to my distorted eating. She on the other hand understood how to work with me ( and my eating disorder), and I am forever grateful.
I decided to get my Master's Degree in Nutrition Science so that I could help others who struggle in the depths of this disease, and bring them to a place of freedom, hope, and a life faced towards things much more important than food and weight.
