Help with patterns, skills, values-based action, and nervous-system work. They address the thinking and emotional patterns that keep you stuck.

Registered Dietitians (weight-inclusive, HAES-aligned)

Help with consistent nourishment, permission-based eating, and practical meal rhythms. Look for those trained in Health at Every Size® (HAES®) approaches who won’t make weight loss the goal and who have experience treating eating disorders when relevant.

Medical Providers (not weight-centric)

Monitor vitals, labs, and safety. Coordinate care without centering weight as the treatment goal. They can rule out or address physical health concerns.

When clinically necessary, they may include weight or other measures as part of safety monitoring, explaining the purpose and offering options such as blind weighing.

Support Groups

Provide belonging, shared language, and accountability in moderated, non-diet spaces. Look for groups that are facilitated and have clear guidelines.
