Review

An invaluable guide through the complex layers of eating disorder treatment, this book reveals a cohesive and vibrant tapestry of recovery, weaving multi-hued threads of applied physiology, nutritional science, dietetic practice, and yoga therapy into an integrated eating approach. A great resource that powerfully describes the destination as well as the journey.

A refreshing and honest look at what recovery entails and what one must acquire and give up in order to achieve it. This book is not for the faint of heart – it uses words like terror, chronic, complexity, overwhelming, draining, risk, life-threatening, loss of identity, accepting imperfection, unknown path of recovery and, the frequently repeated, practice, practice, practice! But it is not a negative look at recovery; rather, it tells the truth delivered with compassion and clarity.

Each chapter is jam-packed with material from a vast array of evidence-based research, case examples, how to tips, clinical wisdom, analogies, metaphors and the science behind how and why it works!

From Issac Newton to Bessell van der Kolk, from infant development to spiritual practices, from gratitude to food logs, this amazing undertaking by Mora and Kelly enhances the knowledge base of even the most senior providers who treat this complex disorder. It is sure to serve as a wonderful resource for one’s professional library.

Dietitians, often the first responders to the crime scene of eating disorders, have longed for an evidence- and practice-based nutritional approach that integrates science with individual needs in order to move diverse clients from crisis to recovery. Incorporating Science, Body, and Yoga in Nutrition-Based Eating Disorder Treatment and Recovery does just that, starting with an understanding of the deeply personal function of the eating disorder and moving through stages of recovery from acute disorder to mastery. The authors describe each stage--structured, mindful, intuitive, and mastered eating--with detail and dialog, making a uniquely useful guide for all clinicians working with eating disorders--as well as for families, loved ones, and clients.

Integrating mindfulness and yoga, this approach creates connections among the bodily, emotional, and spiritual experiences of eating disorders and recovery. It accesses the inner resources and wisdom needed to navigate the contemporary culture’s constant toxic body messages. Clearly written, well-organized, and user-friendly, Incorporating Science, Body, and Yoga in Nutrition-Based Eating Disorder Treatment and Recovery should be required reading for all eating disorder professionals.

I loved reading Incorporating Science, Body, and Yoga in Nutrition-Based Eating Disorder Treatment and Recovery; it is a much-needed toolkit for eating disorder professionals. I will be referring to and quoting these treasured tools moving forward. We cannot treat eating disorders without involving the body and this book combines new and traditional approaches to treat patients. The book is user friendly and translates easily to readers from multiple disciplines. From detailed client narratives to the step by step nutrition logs, I have a deeper appreciation of the nutritionists’ work. The authors weave the art of attending to the body and nutritional process in beautiful alignment. It is a gift to work, learn, and grow with Maria.

A groundbreaking resource for the eating disorder and mental health communities. As a recovered professional, I highly value the compassionate approach the authors take to discussing the very real challenges of recovering from an eating disorder and the accessibility of the treatment recommendations they offer. The combination of clinical expertise, patient stories, and powerful use of yoga therapy make this book a rich read and resource for healing. It also gifts eating disorder clinicians with new tools, language, and approaches to hold space for their clients. I highly recommend Incorporating Science, Body, and Yoga in Nutrition-Based Eating Disorder Treatment and Recovery to eating disorder and mental health clinicians, physicians, yoga therapists, and all who seek to understand eating disorders and their treatment.
