If your teen has recently been diagnosed with an eating disorder, you may be wondering what treatment will look like. While treatment will be individualized for every teen, it will always require a treatment team. This treatment team will determine your teen’s recovery plan based on their individual needs, can also support you as a parent or caregiver by answering questions, and will support your teen every step of the way.

While registered dietitians and nutritionists may sound similar, there are many key differences. These differences are the reason that it's important to consult a registered dietitian in eating disorder recovery.

Registered dietitians are uniquely qualified to provide nutritional support for eating disorders, so working with a registered dietitian is non-negotiable for a successful recovery.
