West Des Moines, Iowa
Nutrition Services
Our Approach
Nutrition services at Edison means working with a registered dietitian trained specifically in eating disorder care. Our Health at Every Size® aligned, non-diet approach helps you rebuild trust with food and your body, working in close coordination with your therapist so your nutrition and mental health care move together, not separately.
Sessions are available in person in West Des Moines or virtually anywhere in Iowa.
Every nutrition client at Edison has a coordinated team behind them. Your dietitian works directly with your therapist and any other providers involved in your care, so your relationship with food is treated as part of your whole recovery — not a separate issue to sort out on your own.
Food shouldn't be one more thing to manage alone.

Getting started.
You'll begin with an initial assessment where your dietitian learns about your relationship with food, your history, and your goals. You don't need a referral or diagnosis to start. -
