Oklahoma-Based Eating Disorder Treatment

Many of our clients have worked with another RD before, and we’re here to help coordinate your transition of care in a way that’s comfortable for you. We know that starting to work with a new care team member can be a brave and difficult step, and we want to help the process go as smoothly as possible. 

When we begin working together, your intake and assessment is designed so we can learn more about you, your story, and your experiences. To make sure that we can fit right into your care team smoothly and safely, we also use a release form so that we can exchange information with your physician and therapist, as well as any other care team members as-needed (like your psychiatrist, OBGYN, endocrinologist, or gastroenterologist). With your permission, we may ask your former RD to release your information to us.

To offer you safe and supportive care, we consider ourselves one member of your core care team in addition to your physician and therapist. If you do already have a therapist, that’s great to hear—we’ll collaborate and exchange information with them as needed, and the same is true for your physician. 

If you don’t yet have a therapist, you’re welcome to reach out to us to get started and get an assessment, but in order to move forward with nutrition therapy it will be required that you’re also under the care of a therapist.

Yes! Our goal is to create a brave space where you’re welcome and encouraged to bring your full self to the table. We believe deeply that nutrition therapy should be inclusive and equitable, provided through a weight-inclusive, gender-affirming, anti-racist, and anti-oppression approach. So that’s what we do! And we consistently seek out more education and training to help us offer you the best support possible. 

We know that every individual has their own culture, identity, experiences, and inner wisdom that are all relevant to their care. We support you within our expertise while valuing and trusting your self-expertise.

Hi there! Thank you for asking and advocating so hard for your child, but unfortunately this one’s a “no.” Simply You Nutrition clinicians specialize in eating disorder recovery for adults 18 years of age and older.

If you’d like some assistance connecting with a registered dietitian in Oklahoma that does specialize in pediatric care for eating disorders and works with children, please reach out to us here. (You can submit your question through our “Have a general inquiry or question?” form.)

All nutrition therapy services are conducted through virtual video calls, either through Practice Better, our HIPAA-compliant electronic health record, or our HIPAA-compliant Zoom account. 

Yes! You can use Practice Better, a HIPAA-compliant app, to access nutrition therapy with Simply You Nutrition. Here’s the link to the app: https://practicebetter.io/features/mobile-app/. You can attend your sessions, schedule new sessions, and interact with your practitioner from anywhere!

Prefer using a desktop? Not to worry! You can always access your client portal on a desktop through this link.

Every person is different, so there’s no standard answer to what your healing journey will look like or how long we’ll work together. 

Getting started, to best support your safety and ability to make progress, we’ll meet weekly for several months. Regular sessions help give you the consistent time and space to gain momentum, build your strength and confidence, and establish new behaviors and routines.

Hi neighbor! We so wish we could support you, but unfortunately this one’s a “no.” Simply You Nutrition clinicians are licensed to provide medical nutrition therapy only to residents of Oklahoma and are unable to provide medical nutrition therapy to individuals residing outside of Oklahoma.

We know that trusting us with your health and well-being is a big deal, and you deserve the most safe, quality nutrition care. 

You might be surprised to know that there’s actually no standard definition for “nutritionist”! Registered dietitians/registered dietitian nutritionists, on the other hand, are food and nutrition experts who must meet certain standards to be credentialed to practice.

We must have…

• Completed a Baccalaureate, Master’s, or Doctoral degree in the approved course work at an accredited university
• Completed a competitive and accredited supervised practice program (an internship) typically running six to twelve months in length
• Passed a national examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (RD or RDN)
• Actively maintain continuing professional education requirements
• And in Oklahoma, be licensed (LD/LDN) by the Oklahoma Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision.

All of this education, experience, and licensing means that we can offer you professional, thorough, and safe nutrition support. 

You might already know this, but eating disorders are biopsychosocial disorders, meaning they have a biological, psychological, and sociocultural component. They’re a mental and physical illness that can affect every organ system in your body, so it’s essential in your eating disorder treatment to have a multidisciplinary care team that can monitor and support your organ systems, mental health, nutrition rehabilitation, and more. Having a registered dietitian who specializes in eating disorders in your corner is a crucial part of a full and safe recovery. 

Our founder Sydney Cavero-Egúsquiza has 5+ years of specific expertise working with clients in eating disorder treatment. When providing care, she regularly communicates with the other members of your care team (such as your physician, therapist, and psychiatrist). This teamwork helps ensure that you get all of the different kinds of support you need to help your recovery.

We have extensive experience supporting clients with diagnoses including Anorexia Nervosa, Atypical Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, and Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). We’re also able to work together even if you don’t have a formal diagnosis.  

We understand that finding appropriate, compassionate care for eating disorders can be challenging, and even more so when your eating disorder/diagnosis may be viewed as “complicated,” especially persistent, or based on your body size (like Anorexia Nervosa vs. Atypical Anorexia Nervosa, for example). We’re committed to being a steady, supportive, expert source of care for you. 

When we work together, we don’t see you as a diagnosis—we treat you as, well, an individual! Each eating disorder is unique, and you are too. We bring individual eating-disorder specific expertise to your care and collaborate to design a treatment plan that’s tailored to you.
