"When I worked in a child and adolescent eating disorder hospital, I had the opportunity to be part of many patients’ treatment teams, alongside a doctor, therapist, psychiatrist, and parents. I witnessed parents’ pain, stress, and fear, as well as their unwavering love and hope for their child to be free from the prison that was their eating disorder. After working with countless families, I saw a trend—kids whose parents who had healthy relationships to food, body, and exercise often seemed to have the best chance at recovery. However, kids whose parents held unhealthy food beliefs and behaviors were also able to experience recovery success—if they became aware of and were willing to shift their attitudes.

'If you use the experience to ensure the whole family moves forward in a more holistically healthy way when it comes to food and movement, you will have gained something that will improve everyone’s life going forward,' says JD Ouellette, Director of Lived Experience at Equip.

Today, let’s look at how parents’ relationship to food impacts their child’s eating, as well as expert-backed ways to best align your food relationship with your child’s long-term recovery. ..."

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you do not need to compensate today for what you ate yesterday.

Your body isn’t keeping score, and one day of eating doesn’t define you.

What actually helps? Eating consistently, trusting your body, and moving forward without punishment.
You’re allowed to eat today fully and without guilt.

Little reminder for your Monday evening 🫶🏼💐

04/09/2026

Healthy or joyful movement is about focusing on how your body feels as you move it, instead of how it looks, how many calories you’re burning, or how it will affect your body shape or size. It’s about moving in ways you enjoy and that enhance your well-being, and for reasons outside of appearance. When you engage in healthy movement, you might move to improve focus, feel empowered, connect with community, or other goals that have nothing to do with changing your body.

My take on this trend 🤭
Just your weekly reminder that breakfast is important for everyone and especially for those in eating disorder recovery.

In eating disorder recovery breakfast helps set a recovery-supporting tone for the day, helps restore hunger and fullness cues, and promotes emotional and mental stability.

What’s your favorite breakfast food?

I recently started reading the book “Food Mad The Nutritional Neuroscience of the Starved Brain” by Victoria Schindler and just had to share this quote!

Diet culture can lead you to believe that food is mainly just fuel for exercise and activity, so here is your reminder that the brain needs energy to function even at rest.

Thanks Isabel Vasquez Larson, RD, LDN for including me in your recent article for EatingWell !

“If you’re scrambling your eggs with milk or cottage cheese (that’s my favorite), you’ll also get some extra protein, fat, and other nutrients like calcium, depending on the type of product you use,” says Caroline L. Young, M.S., RD, LD, RYT. ...

“Scrambled eggs are full of protein, along with two other nutrients that are not super common in other foods but are important—choline and vitamin D,” says Young. Three scrambled eggs provide 507 milligrams of choline, 92% of the Daily Value, and 149 IU of vitamin D, 19% DV.4 “Choline is critical for nerve and brain function, while vitamin D is essential for bone health,” explains Young. To get these nutrients, be sure to eat the yolks of the eggs—that’s where most of the vitamin D and choline are."

Scrambled eggs are full of protein, while avocado toast has fiber, healthy fat and carbs. Learn which is a better breakfast for lasting fullness.

If you feel like certain foods have a power over you, it’s not all in your head, but it’s not really “food addiction.”

The Biggest Misconceptions About Binge Eating

Like all eating disorders, BED is a mental illness caused by multiple factors that can occur in any body size. It is best treated with a flexible and personalized eating plan (not a restrictive diet) developed by a weight-inclusive dietitian, and under the guidance of a multidisciplinary treatment team, including a weight-inclusive doctor, therapist, and (sometimes) a psychiatrist. If you’re struggling with BED, know that you deserve compassionate care, deep healing, and long-term recovery.

Check out my latest article for Equip! Thanks to Ana Pruteanu, MS, RDN, CEDS-C, LDN Jessica Villalvir and Kelly Abramson MS, RD for your insight.

When I tell people that I’m an eating disorder dietitian, they often ask questions about each eating disorder and how it manifests in people. When it comes to binge eating disorder (BED), they might ask, “So, they’re addicted to food?” or “Why can’t they just stop eating?” Questions like these remind me of how little most people understand eating disorders.

While all diagnoses carry stereotypes and myths, BED—which is the most common eating disorder in the U.S.—seems to be especially misunderstood. For example, it’s often assumed that people with BED must be lazy, lack willpower, and live in a larger body, and that they should follow a strict meal plan to get better. Such misconceptions are rooted in diet culture and can do real damage, increasing the shame and stigma surrounding BED and making it harder for those struggling to get the care they need to recover. Today, let’s dive more deeply into the biggest misconceptions about binge eating and explore the truth behind them. ...

Hello from Caroline again! It’s been a while since I’ve shared my face or updates from life/motherhood (now with a toddler!). I’ve been navigating lots of change personally and professionally—postpartum has been quite the ride, full of so many highs and so many lows. Becoming mom is the best thing that’s ever and it’s the absolute hardest. Like many mothers, I’ve experienced postpartum anxiety, chronic backpain, and a feeling of, “I don’t know who I am now,” and am gratefully on what feels like a road of greater stability, peace, and ease.

Becoming Fredi’s mother has taught me SO much, pushed me to grow even when (or especially when) a part of me was terrified or protesting, made me feel and learn to navigate so many opposite emotions at once, and has cracked me open and softened me in many ways. I know it will continue to be a process of both him learning the world and me and my husband guiding him, all while I learn how to be this new version of myself each day the best I can.

So, today, I’m sharing the second part of a two-part series about the lessons and reminders from the last 1.5 years that I hope will resonate with some of you (whether you’re a parent or not—they apply to everyone!), along with some candid moments. Thanks for being here.
