PRE ORDER Breaking Diet Culture: A Guide for Providers, Families and Patients When the Medical System Abandons You
Paperback book available for pre order! Dropping January 1st, 2027
You are not broken. The system is.
For too long, eating disorder treatment has been built backwards—expecting human beings to contort themselves to fit an unbending mold rather than meeting them in the messy reality of everyday life. When standard protocols fall short, individuals feel like failures, families are left overwhelmed, and providers are left empty-handed. But healthcare must serve the needs of people—not the other way around.
Written by an outpatient clinician who sits on both sides of the couch—bringing a decade of front-line practice alongside decades of personal lived recovery—this book bridges that divide. Nearly every tool needed to transform eating disorder care already exists and thrives across broader mental health and medicine; the system simply stopped using them here.
Healing is never about surrendering your voice. Recovery is grueling work; if you aren’t fighting for something you truly believe in, staying in the fight is even harder. Moving forward requires individualized care that honors human dignity, restores trust, and focuses on what actually matters: rebuilding a life worth living, and creating a life worth fighting for.
No matter how many doors have closed, how deep the burnout goes, or how far you have fallen through the cracks: There is hope. There is always hope.
