Eating disorders: supervised dietetic support
Eating disorders require multidisciplinary care. The dietetic component never stands alone: it complements medical and psychotherapeutic follow-up, at a pace matched to your clinical status.
Gabriela Ferent — Qualified dietitian · Affiliated with the CNS
Always in a team: doctor, psychologist, dietitian
Gradual, with no weight target imposed in session
Care that is always multidisciplinary
Dietetic follow-up complements — and never replaces — medical and psychotherapeutic care. It has clear limits: it is not appropriate on its own for a diagnosable eating disorder.
- Doctor: screening, physical work-up, hospitalisation decision if needed
- Psychologist / psychiatrist: work on causes and behaviours
- Dietitian: gradual nutritional rehabilitation, coordinated with the team
What the dietetic follow-up covers
The aim is nutritional rehabilitation: restoring sufficient and regular intake, preventing deficiencies, gradually reintroducing avoided foods and relearning hunger and satiety cues.
- A gradual, negotiated refeeding plan
- Prevention and monitoring of deficiencies, with your doctor
- Work on avoided foods, without brutal confrontation
- Support for family and shared meals
Explicit limits
The practice does not replace specialist care or hospitalisation when indicated. If warning signs appear (rapid weight loss, fainting, repeated vomiting), immediate medical assessment takes priority.
What belongs to your physician
Diagnosis, tests and medical treatment remain your doctor's responsibility. Dietetic support adapts to them and, with your agreement, a report is sent to your doctor.
Frequently asked questions about eating disorders
Yes. Standalone dietetic support is not sufficient for a diagnosable eating disorder.
No. Weighing is discussed case by case and can be delegated to the doctor when it causes anxiety.
