Description
Join Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Easting Disorder Specialist Amy Isabella Chalker for a presentation on this perplexing syndrome. Using case studies and current research, Amy will illustrate how MCAS can impact up to 25% of eating disorder clients, how to recognize the signs and systems, steps in diagnosis and treatment, and what can interfere with receiving effective care. In addition to becoming familiar with other medical and mental health conditions commonly seen alongside MCAS, attendees will learn to look beyond the eating disorder diagnosis and conceptualize a clients' broader medical picture while remaining open to our continually changing field and an ever-growing set of knowledge, appreciating our limits as providers with humility.
