What led you to Remuda Ranch?
As far back as I can recall I have been intrigued by the behavior of people around me, and trying to understand why we fall into certain patterns. This led me to major in anthropology in college, studying the long-term development of human behavior. When I took nutrition as an elective, my interest was piqued by the individual psychology of eating behavior. My fascination with the combination of cultural and personal influences on eating brought me to a desire to help individuals with eating disorders.
I was hired out of school by Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, as it began to develop an eating disorders treatment program. I started out spending half my time in pediatric psychiatry and the other half in endocrinology. Within two years, the eating disorder program had blossomed to the point that five dietitians replaced me when I left.
In 2000, I opened Understanding Nutrition, my private practice, which I loved. As other professionals came to me for advice, I started teaching Eating Disorders Boot Camp workshops, writing The Eating Disorders Clinical Pocket Guide, and traveling the country as a speaker. After 13 years, I closed my practice in order to concentrate on providing professional education. My hope was and is to educate primary level providers to identify dysfunctional eating behaviors in their early stages, so that no one goes for 20, 30, or even five years alone and afraid with an eating disorder.
