Ali Beckman, MS, RD, LD, CEDS-C, discusses the types of conversations psychiatrists and mental health clinicians should be having with patients about food and diet. These conversations boil down to 4 important general topics.
- Are patients getting enough food?
- Are patients eating consistently, not just in 1 sitting or in giant caloric bursts? Blood sugar stabilization is critical.
- Are patients eating good quality food?
- Are patients eating a variety of food?
Ms Beckman is a registered dietitian, eating disorder specialist, certified intuitive eating counselor, and the director of Clinical Nutrition and Movement Services at Alsana.
