Eating Disorders
Eating disorders and disordered eating patterns can take a significant toll on your physical health, emotional wellbeing, and overall relationship with food and your body. Whether you’re navigating restrictive eating, bingeing, purging, emotional eating, orthorexia, or cycles of guilt and shame, you’re not alone—and recovery is possible. At LWell, we meet you with compassion, not judgement, and offer individualized care that prioritizes healing, nourishment, and long-term resilience. Our multidisciplinary approach supports clients through different stages of recovery, helping to restore not just weight or labs—but confidence, balance, and peace of mind.

Our Eating Disorder Treatment Options
Insurance-Based Nutrition Therapy with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
Our RDNs provide a safe, structured space to rebuild trust with food and body. They work collaboratively with your therapist or care team, offer meal support, nutrition education, and individualized recovery plans. Whether you’re in early recovery or dealing with disordered patterns like chronic dieting or emotional eating, sessions are tailored to support sustainable change—and are typically covered by insurance.
Treatment with an Integrative/Functional Medicine Provider
For clients whose eating challenges are connected to gut imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, hormone issues, or chronic stress, functional testing can uncover contributing root causes. Providers address these with targeted therapies—like microbiome support, adrenal balancing, or personalized supplements—while respecting the sensitivity and mental health components that often accompany disordered eating.
