Here are some reflections I wanted to offer you before I say goodbye for a bit as I head out on Maternity Leave. These are lessons I’ve been really grateful to learn the past couple of months and hope you gain some insight from what I’ve learned and even re-learned. 3 Things I’ve Been Re-Learning […]
Updates and News from the Marci RD Nutrition Team
As we head into Fall, our team of dietitians has lots of news to share. Can you believe that September is almost over? Admittedly, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed because I am heading out on maternity leave for baby #2 on October 1st! I’m filled with a whole range of emotions – excitement, mixed with […]
Having Equity in the Eating Disorders Field
I am thrilled to put all of my support behind the first upcoming BIPoC Eating Disorders Conference. In the video below, I share with you my perspective on why we as a field desperately need this conference and the action you can take to support it. IF you say you care about greater equity in [...]My Fave Books of 2021 by Marci Evans
It’s January and well, I won’t say Happy New Year, because most people I talk to right now aren’t jumping with joy right now. Things are a bit rough my friends, so it really seems like no better time than to escape into the land of books. For the third year in a row, my [...]3 Myths about Eating Disorders Treatment
While there are a lot of problematic myths out there, here are three Myths about Eating Disorders Treatment that I’ve been reflecting on quite a bit. As I have been doing all the legwork on the newest version of my online training “Nutrition Counseling for Eating Disorders” I have been thinking a lot about common […]
My Favorite Books of 2020…and Books for 2021
Last year I kicked off 2020 with a review of my favorite books from 2019. And I have been waiting in excitement to continue the tradition as we usher in 2021. For me, books are for learning, for escape, for adventure, and for FUN! And I can say that I needed all of those things […]
How Will We Get More People Doing Eating Disorders Work?
National Eating Disorders Week is upon us and I thought I’d share a little about why I love the work I do and why I am so passionate about expanding the field to more professionals. You can check out my video by clicking below or scroll down for the cliffs notes version. As [...]Digestive Disorders and Eating Disorders: A Complicated Mix
Several years into my work as a nutrition therapist I found myself really grappling with a clinical dilemma. Many of my clients were not only suffering from an eating disorder but they were also suffering from pretty severe digestive issues. And these digestive issues were not only complicating their recovery but they were seriously impacting […]
Special Eating Disorders Training Package for New Grads and RDNs
One of the most common questions I get from students and new dietitians is this, “Marci, how did you get into the field of eating disorders?” The honest answer is that I received zero training in school, a tiny bit of exposure in my internship, then threw myself into self-study at the very beginning of […]
My Favorite Books of 2019…and A Long List for 2020!
A year and a half ago, I wrote about my love affair with reading and shared with you the books I had recently read and loved, as well as books on the docket. As the new year takes off, you better believe that prioritizing my (very long) reading list has been high on the agenda. So […]
I Survived Being Audited & Lived to Tell the Tale
At the end of August I was enjoying my summer vacation in Maine. While strolling along and soaking up the gorgeous end of summer weather I made the terrible mistake of checking my inbox. To my surprise, I received an email informing me that I was being audited by the Commission on Dietetics Registration (CDR). […]
Free Resources and Goodies for the Holiday Season
For many of us, the months between October and December are filled with a flurry of celebrations with the holiday season. This can be a time filled with joy and excitement but also a tremendous amount of overwhelm and financial stress. As this week marks the celebration of Thanksgiving here in the United States, I […]
Summer Reading Fun!
I have been a voracious (compulsive?) reader since I was little. Winning my 6th grade class reading competition ranks high on the list of my life accomplishments. Barely edging out Aaron Brooks (he was a very reasonable 2nd placeman, despite my gloating) made my little heart soar. And I can still remember pouring over the […]
The Final LIVE Body Image Workshop is being held in London, England!
I am so excited to be finalizing plans for the very last, live and in person Body Image Workshop, being held in London, England this September. Fiona Sutherland and I wanted to let you know that we still have some spaces for our final Body Image Workshop being held on September 1st and 2nd in […]
The Body Image Tour: Lessons Learned
Traveling across the United States, training clinicians on body image work with my Aussie side-kick, Fiona Sutherland, was not something I ever envisioned for myself. In fact, just about everything I’ve done in my career thus far fits under the category of “things I never envisioned.” But the process of developing and giving this training […]
Wonder Woman & Her 30 Seconds of Bravery
I’m not a particularly brave person. I don’t say that in a self-deprecating way. I say it in a neutral way – like stating my preference for English muffins covered in PB&J for breakfast. But at a recent annual nutrition conference (which drew over 10,000 registered dietitians), my bravery was put to the test. I’d […]
Dietitians: Are you Ready for the EDRDpro Symposium?
Yes, the EDRDpro Symposium is the only international, web-based eating disorder conference for nutritionists, therapists, and students. Have you ever had the chance to participate in something that makes you giddy with excitement?? That’s exactly how I feel about the upcoming #EDRDpro Symposium – a 4 day online symposium with 15 eating disorder experts. How […]
BED and The Well-Trained Clinician: Are You Helping Without Harming?
The Need for Well-Trained Clinicians This blog post was originally posted on the Binge Eating Disorder Awareness Blog. I’ve reposted it here to spread the word! Binge eating disorder (BED) may seem new since it was just added to the official list of mental health diagnoses. But the truth is that using food to manage […]
