She has helped hundreds of women heal their relationship with food, eating, and their bodies. She brings wisdom, passion, and lived experience to the intersection of pro-aging and body liberation. She offers one on one coaching, small group coaching, and professional supervision. Deb also owns and administers a private practice of big-hearted and wonderfully talented RDNs specializing in weight-neutral care and treating eating disorders. Deb’s philosophy is based on Health at Every Size and Intuitive/Mindful Eating. Argavan and Deb talk about the diet/wellness “mess”, the impact of undernourishment on our minds and bodies, disordered eating in women and the intergenerational diet culture, what health care providers can do to have a positive impact and so much more.
