Supporting Parents: When a Child of Any Age has an Eating Disorder, with Jane Reagan

The Eating Disorder Therapist

Today, I’m talking to Jane Reagan. Jane is a Boulder, Colorado based Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) who believes that understanding food choices, food quality and one’s relationship with food can lead to greater awareness, improved health and a more abundant life.

Jane is passionate about helping her clients find greater health, vitality and improved wellness through balanced nutrition.

She understands that food is meant to be enjoyed and loves helping people connect to the wisdom of their own bodies, while providing guidance with evidence-based practices for optimal nutrition.

Jane Reagan’s experience in the fields of nutrition and counselling spans 25 years.

Jane has helped thousands of clients understand how food impacts them physically, mentally and emotionally with a “food first” philosophy. In addition to her private practice in Boulder, Colorado, Jane Reagan is the creator of the Eating Disorder Recovery Roadmap for Parents, an online program which brings her decades of in-person nutritional and counselling expertise to a remote learning solution that allows parents who have a child (of any age) with an eating disorder to understand and successfully navigate the complex journey to recovery.

In the episode today, Jane does a deep dive into her eating disorder recovery programme for parents. She explores how lonely and isolating it is as a parent, when you have a loved one struggling. She talks about helpful and unhelpful ways of coping and communicating. She is a beacon of hope and support for all parents struggling and is incredibly passionate about whole family support on the recovery road. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.
