Today I’m talking to internationally recognised eating disorder expert and nutritionist Melainie Rogers, who is founder and CEO of Balance Eating Disorder Treatment Centre in New York City.
Melainie is a professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Studies at New York University. She is a Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian (CEDRD) and Supervisor. She is the Founder and CEO of Manhattan-based BALANCE Eating Disorder Treatment Center™, now Joint Commission Accredited as a Centre of Excellence with the facility receiving The Gold Seal of Approval® – an internationally recognised symbol of quality and safety in behavioural healthcare. There she leads a team of medical clinicians, therapists, counsellors, nutritionists, dietitians, social workers, coaches all dedicated to whole body and mind recovery for clients of all ages, races and genders seeking to overcome both eating disorders and disordered eating. Among her many affiliations: founder and past president of the New York City chapter of the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals Foundation, an Advisory Board Member at the Center for the Study of Anorexia and Bulimia, and a former Board Member of the Binge Eating Disorder Association.
Renowned for creating unique treatment and recovery programs derived from a philosophy based on the principles of Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size, Melainie regularly presents internationally on the latest scientific research and treatment paradigms within the eating disorder recovery community. BALANCE eating disorder programs utilise an integrative therapeutic approach that incorporates evidence-based treatments into individualised recovery plans that include behavioural therapy, nutrition counselling, group therapy, and meal support to empower clients to develop a sustainable neutral relationship with food, body acceptance and positive self-esteem.
In the episode today, Melainie talks about her journey into working in eating disorders, including her own lived experience. She explains the unique approach that BALANCE Eating Disorder Treatment Center offers including a focus around personalised nutrition, Intuitive Eating Principles and Health At Every Size. She explores vulnerabilities towards eating disorders in the LGBTQ community; exposure therapy around fear foods; healing from binge eating disorder and much more. I hope that you enjoy the conversation..
