Taylor Aasand is a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and
registered dietitian nutritionist. She has dedicated her career to
counseling and pursuing policy change around weight stigma and
eating disorder care in Arizona. As a Certified Intuitive Eating
Counselor and having trained with Evelyn Tribole, one of the
authors of Intuitive Eating, she enjoys working in partnership with
clients to help them heal their relationship with food, exercise,
their bodies and by extension, themselves.
Taylor
practices from a weight neutral, Health at Every Size lens; She
emphasizes the importance of patient centered care, rather than the
medical norm of weight centric care. She strongly believe that
weight is only 1 piece of the puzzle, & not something to try to
“control."
Taylor
is immensely grateful for a career in which she continues to grow
and learn each and every day. Taylor's patients have taught her
more than she ever knew was possible and the opportunity to help
them reconnect with their authentic selves through nourishment is
what makes her excited to come to work every day.
Taylor talks about eating disorders, disordered eating,
intuitive eating, diet culture, anorexia nervosa, the relationship
between GI health and eating disorders, the benefits of eating
larger meals earlier in the day, and more.
