Virtual Nutrition Counseling for Anorexia Nervosa
Compassionate, Non-Judgmental Support for Anorexia Recovery
Here, Your Story Is Valid and Your Healing Matters
Anorexia is a complex and serious eating disorder that can impact people of all ages, genders, body sizes, and backgrounds. At JW Nutrition Counseling, we provide virtual, weight-inclusive, non-judgmental nutrition therapy to help individuals and families navigate recovery from anorexia and restrictive eating patterns.
Our approach is grounded in the Health at Every Size (HAES) principles, recognizing that anorexia does not “look” a certain way. Restriction and malnourishment can affect people in any body size, and every person deserves compassionate, evidence-based care.
What is Anorexia Nervosa?
Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder defined by persistent restriction of food intake, intense fear of gaining weight, and a distorted body image. It can occur in people of all body sizes, ages, genders, and backgrounds. Anorexia is not only about food, it often reflects deeper struggles with control, perfectionism, anxiety, or trauma.
Unlike common misconceptions, anorexia is not defined by appearance alone. Malnourishment and restriction can cause serious physical and psychological consequences regardless of someone’s size.
Common signs of Anorexia Nervosa include:
Restricting food intake or following rigid food rules
Intense fear of weight gain or becoming “fat”
Preoccupation with body size, shape, or the number on the scale
Dramatic weight loss or failure to meet expected growth in youth
Denial of hunger or difficulty recognizing internal cues
Avoiding eating in front of others or skipping meals
Excessive exercise or compulsive movement to “burn off” calories
Physical symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, feeling cold, hair thinning, or digestive issues
Our Approach to Anorexia Nutrition Counseling
Recovery from anorexia requires more than just “eating more.” Our work together focuses on:
Restoring nourishment and stability to support both physical and mental health
Challenging restrictive patterns in a compassionate, step-by-step way
Building body trust and internal attunement
Integrating mindful and intuitive eating strategies when appropriate in recovery
Providing non-judgmental, weight-inclusive care that affirms dignity and well-being in every body size
Supporting families and caregivers in reducing stress and fostering healing environments
Why Weight-Inclusive and HAES Care Matters in Anorexia
A common misconception is that anorexia is only visible in thin bodies. In reality, restriction and malnutrition can occur in any body size. Weight alone is not an indicator of health, diagnosis, or severity.
That is why our practice is firmly rooted in Health at Every Size (HAES) and weight-inclusive values. We help clients move away from external rules and body-based judgments, and instead toward healing that prioritizes nourishment, flexibility, and overall well-being.
