Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are serious conditions that occur when people become overly focused on their weight, body shape, and food, and develop dangerous eating behaviors. The two most common eating disorders are Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa.
Both can cause serious physical and mental health problems, including adverse effects on the heart, digestive system, teeth and mouth, plus conditions such as osteoporosis, anemia, and kidney and liver diseases.
Eating disorders are a multi-facetted symptom caused by a deeper underlying problem. David Allen Nutrition seeks to help individuals suffering from eating disorders reestablish a relationship with food, their body, and their internal self.
The causes are extremely complex and may be a combination of biological, psychological, family, genetic, environmental and social factors. Many individuals who have eating disorders can be considered perfectionists and/or suffer from low self-esteem.
David Allen Nutrition has experience working with Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa as well as other eating disorders that do not necessarily fit into the mentioned category. We are confident that we can help clients regain their strength and the courage to battle their eating disorder in order to achieve a more balanced and healthy lifestyle.
