It's - World Digestive Health Day. Did you know that up to 90% of individuals with eating disorders experience functional gastrointestinal disorders, according to the Inside Out Institute. Having a comprehensive care team can make a world of difference. This can include a primary care physician and gastrointestinal doctor to diagnosis and treat GI issues. Therapists or counselors can help in navigating the psychological components of the eating disorder. And registered dietitians (like our team!) can help create meal plans that support gut health without activating gut symptoms or eating disorder thoughts. Get the support you need so you and can feel your best.

Happy National Hamburger Day from our team to you! So much of eating disorder recovery involves making peace with food, incorporating foods you've stopped eating, and trying new foods despite fear. And one of the things that makes our work so meaningful is when we can help someone discover joy in food. Maybe that's the melty cheese on a burger, or a new to you sauce, or a perfectly toasted bun that you're having with your burger. However you eat your burger, we're proud of you for showing up. Take a deep breath, and remember, it's just food. We're here for you, every bite. Enjoy!

Eating disorder recovery is hard. Being a person with a body is hard. We love this affirmation for its simplicity and body neutrality. Whether you’re having a bad day or a good day, affirmations are great to keep you grounded, reduce anxiety, and keep you focused on positivity. Come back to this affirmation whenever you need a boost. Put it on a sticky note in your bathroom, make it your phone background, lather, rinse, repeat. The more you do it, the more you believe it. Everyone wins. Remember, you are so much more than your body.

With love,
Olive Branch Nutrition

As we head into Memorial Day weekend, you might be feeling anxious about an upcoming barbecue or the start of summer. All of that feels extra when you’re in recovery from an eating disorder. Whatever your plans are for this long weekend, remember Intuitive Eating Principle 4: Discover the Satisfaction Factor.

Shifting your view from a barbecue feeling overwhelming to it being a fun event where you get to eat favorite foods with favorite people can make a world of difference. Not there yet? Totally OK. Can you find one thing that’s satisfying about food this weekend? It can be food-related or something else entirely that contributes to your enjoyment of the food. Maybe you loved eating outside even if the food felt scary. Celebrate your small wins- you can do it!
