NUTRITIONAL EDUCATION – OAK BROOK, IL

Treatment of Eating Disorders and Individualized Nutrition and Wellness Education

At ‘A Better Tomorrow’ we have Annie Murphy on staff, a dedicated registered dietitian and licensed nutritionist, who specializes in the treatment of eating disorders and offers a comprehensive and individualized approach to nutrition and wellness. Annie provides evidence-based nutritional therapy tailored to address eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder.

She will create personalized meal plans that help restore nutritional balance, promote healthy eating habits, and support recovery. She works closely with clients to rebuild a positive relationship with food, emphasizing the importance of nourishment and self-care. In addition to meal planning, she offers counseling and education to help clients understand their nutritional needs and overcome fears associated with eating.

For clients managing diabetes who have a history of eating disorders, Annie provides specialized guidance that respects their unique challenges. Instead of focusing on restrictive diets, Annie promotes a sustainable lifestyle change that incorporates the principles of Health at Every Size (HAES) and mindfulness. This approach encourages clients to listen to their body’s hunger and fullness cues, make balanced food choices, and engage in joyful movement, rather than adhering to strict dietary rules. The goal is to achieve better glycemic control and overall health without triggering disordered eating behaviors.

By fostering a mindset of moderation and self-compassion, Annie helps clients build a healthy, balanced relationship with food that supports long-term well-being.
