Disordered Eating in Clinical Practice

Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness and are among the most frequently missed in clinical practice. This course covers recognition, safe practice, and appropriate referral. It also addresses what most CE courses do not: the practitioner's own relationship with food.

The clinical problem

The tools of integrative nutrition care — elimination diets, food sensitivity testing, dietary tracking — can trigger restriction or reinforce avoidance in a patient with unrecognised disordered eating. The practitioner's task is not to become a specialist. It is to recognise the patterns, practise within scope, refer appropriately, and avoid inadvertent harm.

Modules

Module

01

The diagnostic landscape in 2026

Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID (DSM-5), orthorexia nervosa, nocturnal sleep-related eating disorder, and body dysmorphic disorder — presentations, distinctions, and clinical relevance.

Module

02

Why disordered eating is more common in clinical practice than we acknowledge

Practitioner histories, the wellness-industry environment as a refuge for disordered eating, risk in athletic and aesthetic-profession populations, and LGBTQ+ prevalence disparities.

Module

03

Recognition in patients

Diet diary tells, language patterns, body language, the "too healthy" presentation, orthorexia in the integrative patient, behavioural signs of compensatory behaviours, and how to probe gently when concern is present.

Module

04

The do-no-harm nutrition consultation

When not to recommend an elimination diet. When not to recommend caloric tracking. The risks of food sensitivity testing in disordered-eating populations.

Module

05

Within-scope integrative care

Supportive nutrition for refeeding within scope and in collaboration with a clinical team. Working alongside dietitians and therapists without undermining concurrent CBT-E or family-based treatment.

Module

06

When and how to refer

Canadian and international referral pathways. The Eating Disorders Association of Canada, NIED, and the National Alliance for Eating Disorders.

Module

07

Practitioner awareness and navigation

Recognising your own clinical triggers. What to do if triggered mid-appointment. The VITALITY positive body image framework. Building a sustainable career in a nutrition-focused profession.

Module

08

Case-based application

Three patient scenarios worked through with referral and integrative-care decisions: the "too healthy" new patient, the recovering patient considering an elimination diet, and the patient with binge eating disorder on GLP-1 therapy.

What you'll be able to do

Recognise anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID, orthorexia nervosa, and body dysmorphic disorder across their clinical presentations.

Identify the "too healthy" presentation and other patterns common in integrative and naturopathic patient populations.

Conduct a nutrition consultation that does not inadvertently trigger, reinforce, or validate disordered eating

Know when not to recommend an elimination diet, caloric tracking, or food sensitivity testing.

Provide appropriate within-scope integrative support — micronutrient repletion, supportive nutrition — alongside referring clinicians without undermining concurrent therapeutic work.

Refer appropriately: know the Canadian and international referral pathways, what to say to a patient, and how to build a local referral network.

Recognise your own clinical triggers and navigate a nutrition-focused professional environment with greater awareness.

What's included

  • Language-pattern guides

  • Recognition checklists

  • Red-flag screening tools

  • Referral pathway guides for Canada and internationally

  • Practitioner awareness tools

  • Three worked patient scenario frameworks.

The full track, or a single course

The full track, or a single course

Individual courses answer focused questions. The full track teaches you how those questions connect. A patient on a GLP-1 medication may also carry sarcopenia risk, gut symptoms, micronutrient gaps, and a disordered-eating pattern at the same time. Treating each in isolation misses the case. The value of the full track is seeing the whole picture.
