Meet Amy Williamson, Registered Dietitian & Eating Disorder Specialist

Amy Williamson

founder & CEO

Registered Dietitian & Certified Eating Disorder Specialist

I graduated with my Master of Science in Nutritional Sciences and dietetic internship from Texas Tech University in 2015 . I then began my career as a clinical dietitian at Baylor University Medical Center for nearly 5 years. In that time, I became a Clinical Nutrition Support Clinician (CNSC) and had the incredible opportunity to do a lot science-y stuff that I won’t bore you with!

While I grew so much as a clinical dietitian, I always knew my calling was to work with individuals and families affected by eating disorders (ED). I read every book and article I could find, poured over ED trainings, and shadowed ED RDs anytime I could.


Eating Disorder Experience

In 2019, I began working at the IOP & PHP levels of care at an ED treatment facility in Dallas. I gained extensive experience working with teens and adults affected by eating disorders. Getting to walk alongside someone in a small part of their recovery journey has been the most incredible experience! I feel so honored to have the opportunity to work with the individuals and families that I do.

In May 2022, I became a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) through the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP). This certification requires a minimum of 2 years to complete, >2500 supervised practice hours in the ED field by other expert-level clinicians, case studies, the completion of 4 intensive courses & accompanying certification exam, as well as required continued education in ED.


what’s next

Over the past few years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work with many folks living with type 1 diabetes. The intersectionality of eating disorders, disordered eating, & diabetes is significant. Unfortunately, there are currently there are few providers who are well-versed in both.

Over time, I have realized the enormous gap in education and care, especially in the months following diagnosis. I’ve worked with many folks living with diabetes who were provided very little education or resources when they were diagnosed. For many, this led to disordered eating and feeling physically, mentally, & emotionally overwhelmed. This lack of care is absolutely not okay. I’m on a mission to help folks living with diabetes who might also be struggling with (or at risk for developing) disordered eating or ED.

I am currently working on obtaining my Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist certification, which I hope to have completed by early 2024.


why i do this work

Both in my practice as a dietitian & as a person who has been in recovery for over 16 years, I have found that when we heal our relationship with food and our bodies, it frees us up mentally and physically to show up in our own lives in ways that are deeply meaningful to us. It allows us to live life authentically and unapologetically, to take up to space, and to soak in all of the amazing little moments and pleasure in life. If you’re ready to ditch the food rules, then you’ve come to the right place!

What We Believe In

All foods fit

The All Foods Fit philosophy means exactly that – all foods fit when it comes to nutrition. The goal is to eat in a way that supports your body, mind, and your tastes without external influences (diet culture, friends or family, the eating disorder, etc.). There are no “good” or “bad” foods here – this is a judgment-free zone! Foods are enjoyed by listening to what you and your body are craving and honoring your body signals. After all, nutrition is about so much more than just getting in nutrients and fueling our bodies! It’s also about satisfaction, enjoyment, socialization, and celebration…and all that stuff is pretty dang important too, right?

health at every size®

Health At Every Size® (HAES) is an evidence-based approach that supports people of all sizes in adopting healthy behaviors that lead to improvements in overall health. It’s an inclusive social justice movement that aims to respect and honor body diversity as well as cultivate compassionate self-care. It’s not possible to assess someone’s health based on their weight, and our body shape & size is largely out of our control. As a HAES dietitian, I don’t focus on weight and instead focus on behavior changes that lead to improvements in mental & physical health.

intuitive eating

Intuitive Eating is a weight-inclusive and evidence-based health approach that incorporates mind & body. It’s not a diet nor a meal plan, nor is it simply “eating when you’re hungry and stopping when you’re full.” Instead, it includes 10 principles that cultivate or remove barriers to body signals and awareness. Intuitive Eating helps empower us to free ourselves from food rules, diet culture, and obsessing over the number on the scale.

weight inclusivity

All body sizes & shapes are welcomed, respected, valued, and celebrated! Bodies were meant to come in all shapes and sizes, & you are so much more than just a body and a number on the scale. We shift the focus towards health-related behaviors that we actually can change (like getting enough sleep, decreasing stress, finding ways to engage in joyful movement, just to name a few).
