Virtual Nutrition Counseling for Bulimia Nervosa
Compassionate, weight-inclusive, HAES-informed nutrition counseling for individuals recovering from bulimia.
Finding True Food Freedom Is Possible
Bulimia 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 counselingto help individuals and families heal from cycles of bingeing, purging, and restriction.
Our approach is grounded in Health at Every Size (HAES) principles, offering care that emphasizes nourishment, flexibility, and body trust over rigid rules or weight-based goals. Every person deserves compassionate, evidence-based support on the path toward recovery.
What is Bulimia Nervosa?
Bulimia Nervosa is an eating disorder defined by cycles of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors such as self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives, fasting, or excessive exercise. These cycles are often driven by a deep fear of weight gain, preoccupation with body image, and feelings of guilt or shame after eating.
Bulimia can occur in people of any body size. The seriousness of the disorder is not determined by appearance, but by the physical and psychological toll of the behaviors.
Common signs of Bulimia Nervosa include:
Eating large amounts of food in a short time, followed by purging behaviors
Frequent trips to the bathroom after meals
Using laxatives, diuretics, or other substances to control weight
Exercising excessively or rigidly to “make up” for food eaten
Preoccupation with weight, shape, or dieting
Feelings of shame, guilt, or secrecy around eating
Fluctuations in weight or frequent changes in eating patterns
Physical symptoms such as sore throat, dental issues, digestive problems, or fatigue
JW Nutrition Approach to Bulimia Recovery Support
Jamie offers a compassionate and collaborative approach to healing from bulimia. Together, you will:
Challenge the cycle of bingeing and purging with structured, supportive care
Work toward restoring trust in your body and internal cues
Explore mindful and intuitive eating practices in a safe, gradual way
Build flexibility and balance with food rather than rules and rigidity
Receive non-judgmental, weight-inclusive, HAES-informed nutrition support tailored to your needs
Collaborate with therapists, physicians, or treatment teams for coordinated care when needed
How HAES and Weight-Inclusive Care Make a Difference
Bulimia, like all eating disorders, does not have a “look.” People of all body sizes may struggle with cycles of restriction, bingeing, and purging. Traditional weight-focused treatment often reinforces shame, fear, and harmful beliefs about body size.
That is why Jamie’s approach is firmly weight-inclusive and grounded in Health at Every Size (HAES). Recovery is not about changing your body’s size — it is about healing your relationship with food, body, and self through compassionate, evidence-based care.
