Eating Disorder Specialist Library Features Loma Linda University Behavioral Medicine Center

Loma Linda University Behavioral Medicine Center

Nestled in the quiet town of Redlands, California, Loma Linda University Behavioral Medicine Center stands alone in its community as having the only Joint Commission accredited hospital-based outpatient eating disorder program. For almost ten years we have been providing treatment for adolescents and adults struggling with anorexia and bulimia and offer a safe and hopeful environment in which the individual can explore and examine the issues that contribute to their eating disorder.

Our multidisciplinary team of experts helps individuals begin the healing process by addressing all aspects of the mind, body, and spirit using leading edge treatment. An individualized treatment plan is developed based on the needs and level of care unique to every patient that includes in part, dialectical and cognitive behavioral therapy, coping skills, nutrition education and monitoring, structured meals, spiritual care, as well as individual, group, and family therapy.

Our Programs

We offer both adult and an adolescent eating disorder treatment programs. Treatment usually begins with partial hospitalization, or ‘day treatment,’ which means that patients begin treatment at 7:45 am and are finished at 3:00 pm five days a week.

The next level of treatment which is a step down from the partial level of care is IOP, or the intensive outpatient program, which begins from 10:00 am and ends at 2:00 pm, 3-5 days a week, depending on the treatment plan and the level of care the patient needs. With both of our programs, treatment usually begins at the partial level of care and then is decreased as people progress. Upon completion of the program, patients have access to continuing care services for up to one year where they can come anytime.

Evening IOP Program

We have recently modified our adolescent and young adult IOP program to meet the needs of those who are in school or at work and are unable to attend our morning program. This program takes place on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 3:15 pm to 7:30 pm. Patients will either enter treatment at the partial level of care and then transition to evening IOP, or they will enter treatment at the IOP level of care and remain in school if they are medically stable enough to do so. The level of care needed is determined on a case by case basis with medical issues being the first criteria for decisions.

Program Features

Recognizing the complexity of anorexia and bulimia, our program provides a caring and nurturing environment in which the patient and their family can experience a safe haven to explore and examine the issues that contribute to their eating disorder. The program is designed to give attention to the specialized medical needs of the patient, seeks to involve family members to increase the support of the family system, and address mental health issues that may be present along with the eating disorder. Based on a bio-psycho-social-spiritual framework, our treatment approach utilizes leading edge therapies including:

• Dialectical behavior therapy
• Cognitive behavior therapy
• Medical monitoring
• Psychotherapy groups
• Meal planning and structured meals
• Art therapy and experiential groups
• Spiritual resources and recovery
• Body image and self-acceptance
• Trauma work
• Values clarification and self-esteem development

Treatment Team

Our highly trained, multidisciplinary treatment team uses a collaborative approach in addressing the unique needs of our patients. The team's clinical expertise and commitment to following evidenced based best practices helps in providing the best care possible for a lasting recovery. Our team of experts is comprised of the following:

• Psychiatrist
• Psychologist
• Clinical Therapists
• Registered Dietician
• Registered Nurse
• Addiction Specialist
• Chaplain

Our team also keeps up with current research in the field of eating disorders treatment through attendance at national conferences, workshops, and continuing education. We are also members of the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP) and participate in a local chapter of IAEDP. IAEDP membership is a means through which we are able to connect with other professionals in the area who both have expertise in eating disorder treatment and are seeking to deepen their knowledge as they serve the needs of patients and their families.

About America the Beautiful

In almost 40,000 media messages a year, youthful Americans are being told that, unless they look like supermodels and rock stars, they're not good enough for anyone to love. It's a message that too many people are buying.

The hope of achieving these 'ideals' has consumers purchasing cosmetics, toiletries, fashion and plastic surgeries at increasingly dramatic rates. Has the 'American Dream' changed so much that it can only be achieved once we can perfectly emulate the super thin and sexy images of the ones we admire so much on the big screen and in pictures?

Filmmaker Darryl Roberts takes the audience on a two-year journey to examine America's obsession -- physical perfection. In "America the Beautiful," we learn secrets, confessions, and strikingly harsh realities as Roberts unearths the origins and deadly risks of our nation's quest for physical perfection.

Eating Disorders in Men and Women in Later Years

@ Dr. Kimberly McCallum of McCallum Place

Women and men in their 30s, 40s and 50s are now seeking treatment in increasing numbers, challenging beliefs that eating disorders occur mostly in adolescent girls. Although the prevalence of eating disorders in middle age is not known, there seems an increase not only among those suffering but also in professionals and family members more likely to consider the diagnosis and treatment whatever the age. Older adults are not all alike in their presentation. Patients may present with new onset symptoms, re-emergence of symptoms, increased awareness and distress associated with persistent low grade symptoms or enduring and severe symptoms. Those with chronic or intermittent symptoms, never treated for an eating disorder, may finally seek care because they find themselves in a health crisis precipitated by many years of disordered eating behavior. Older patients may present with the whole gamut of symptoms including compulsive exercise, rigid eating, vomiting or laxative use, extreme body dissatisfaction, preoccupation with plastic surgery, restrictive eating, binge eating, low weight, obesity or extreme weight fluctuations. Co morbid psychiatric and medical conditions are common as they are in youth, particularly struggles with alcohol, anxiety and depression...

People With Anorexia May Risk Serious Eye Damage

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 20 (HealthDay News) -- People with the eating disorder anorexia nervosa may be at risk for potentially serious eye damage, says a small new study from Greece.

This damage can occur in the macula, which is located near the center of the retina at the back of the eye and is responsible for fine detailed central vision and the processing of light.

In this study, researchers at the University of Athens compared the thickness of the macula and its electrical activity in the eyes of 13 women who'd had anorexia nervosa for an average of 10 years and 20 healthy women without anorexia who served as controls. The average age of the women was 28.

When compared to the healthy women, those with anorexia nervosa had no obvious visual problems and their eyes were working normally. However, the macula and the nerve layers feeding it (retinal nerve fibers) were much thinner in the eyes of the women with anorexia nervosa. Their eyes also showed significantly less firing of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which plays an important role in the brain's ability to process visual images.

The researchers also found differences between women with certain patterns of anorexia nervosa. The fovea -- a part of the macula that is rich in light-sensitive cones (photoreceptors) -- was thinner in women who binged and purged than in those who only several restricted their calorie consumption.

Further research is needed to determine if these changes in the eyes are the initial stages of progressive blindness or whether the eyes would return to normal if a patient with anorexia nervosa resumed regular eating habits, said the University of Athens team.

The study appears online in the British Journal of Ophthalmology.

The American Academy of Family Physicians has more about anorexia nervosa.

Featured Article: Ten Essential Lessons for a Healthy Body Esteem and Weight © by Kathy Kater To begin, accept what is not in your power to control: 1. Accept your body's genetic predisposition. All bodies are wired to be fatter, thinner, or in between. This includes fatter in some places and thinner in others. Regardless of efforts to change it, over time your body will fight to maintain or resume the shape it was born to be. You may force your body into sizes and shapes that you prefer, but you can't beat Mother Nature without a tremendous cost. 2. Understand that all bodies change developmentally in ways that are simply not in your control through healthy means. You may positively influence changes of puberty, pregnancy and lactation, menopause, and aging by making healthy lifestyle choices, but you will not "control" these changes, no matter how much you try. 3. Never "diet." Hunger is an internally regulated drive and demands to be satisfied. If you limit the food needed to satiate hunger, it will backfire, triggering preoccupation with food and ultimately an overeating or compulsive eating response. You may lose weight in the short run, but over 85% of weight that is lost through dieting is regained, often with added pounds. Dieters who go off their diets only to binge are not "weak willed." They are mammals whose built-in starvation response has kicked in—both physically and psychologically—going after what has been restricted. Scientific evidence documented this in 1950, but most people are not aware of the biologically predictable, counterproductive results of "dieting." Then focus your attention and energy on what is in your power to control: 4. Satisfy hunger completely with a balance of wholesome, nutrient rich foods on a regular basis - eat well! In today's world, surrounded by flavor enhanced, cheap, cleverly advertised, readily available, low-nutrient entertainment foods, learning to feed your body versus merely “eat” is an essential difference. Enjoy entertainment food after nutritional needs are met. 5. Limit sedentary entertainment. Move (aerobically if possible) on a regular basis. Everyone who is not medically inhibited, regardless of size, can and should develop a reasonable level of fitness and maintain it throughout the life cycle. Enjoy sedentary entertainment after fitness needs are met. 6. Understand that if you eat well and maintain an active lifestyle, your healthy weight will be revealed over time. Value health versus size, and support this value with a health enhancing lifestyle. Don't be swayed by whether or not this makes you thin. Healthy, well fed, active bodies are diverse in size and shape, from fat to thin and everything in between. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, not even your doctor, who may be caught in unhealthy cultural myths about weight. 7. Choose role models that reflect a realistic standard against which you can feel good about yourself. If the "Ugly Duckling" had continued to compare herself to the ducks she'd still be miserable, no matter how beautifully she developed. 8. Maintain your integrity as a human being. In spite of advertisements seducing you to believe that "image is everything," Never forget that how you look is only one part of who you are. Develop a sense of identity based on all the many things you can do, the values you believe in, and the person that you are deep inside. 9. Become media savvy. Educate yourself about the hidden power of advertisements. Advertisers spend tons of money on strategies to make you feel there is something wrong with you. Why? If their standard of beauty leaves you feeling deficient by comparison, their product's promise to improve your condition is an easy sale. Don't be "sold" this bill of goods. 10. Encourage your friends, family and co-workers to join you in developing a healthy, realistic body image. Use the collective energy your group would have spent on hating your bodies to make the world a better place. Help the next generation to develop healthy body image attitudes and learn positive lifestyle habits too. © 2005 www.BodyImageHealth.org ***May be copied for educational purposes.

Help Produce an Online Film To Educate about Eating Disorders! For five years that the NORMAL In Schools national nonprofit has been delivering its live programming to educate children and families in at-risk, public AND private schools, in medical facilities and in theatre festivals worldwide about the facts relating to eating disorders and mental illness. Last year we were awarded the 2010 Champion in Women’s Health Award by The Wisconsin Women’s Health Foundation. Most notably, our program assisted teenage patients into treatment for eating disorders and related illnesses due to the universal appeal of the gripping rock musical on which our program is based, and the shame-breaking talkback panel with expert clinicians and people in recovery. As a result of NIS’s ongoing success, in Fall 2010 we are partnering with NEDA, BEDA and top medical experts to produce a cutting-edge, online film version of our award-winning program.

The EATING DISORDER TREATMENT PROGRAM at SeaSide Palm Beach specializes in helping individuals who suffer from a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders, which is when an individual suffers simultaneously from both a psychiatric disorder (like an eating disorder) as well as a substance abuse problem (like alcohol abuse or drug abuse). Most people are very surprised to learn that eating disorders have little to do with food. Especially when one considers that many people who suffer from eating disorders actually have an unhealthy obsession with food. In the majority of cases, eating disorders have more to do with a lack of emotional well-being resulting from their inability to identify and communicate their own needs and wants effectively to others. To find out more please call us 24/7 toll-free at (888) 432-2467 today for help! The EATING DISORDER TREATMENT PROGRAM at SeaSide Palm Beach

About America the Beautiful

In almost 40,000 media messages a year, youthful Americans are being told that, unless they look like supermodels and rock stars, they're not good enough for anyone to love. It's a message that too many people are buying.

The hope of achieving these 'ideals' has consumers purchasing cosmetics, toiletries, fashion and plastic surgeries at increasingly dramatic rates. Has the 'American Dream' changed so much that it can only be achieved once we can perfectly emulate the super thin and sexy images of the ones we admire so much on the big screen and in pictures?

Filmmaker Darryl Roberts takes the audience on a two-year journey to examine America's obsession: physical perfection. In "America the Beautiful," we learn secrets, confessions, and strikingly harsh realities as Roberts unearths the origins and deadly risks of our nation's quest for physical perfection. View the trailer at www.americathebeautifuldoc.com.

Help Produce an Online Film To Educate about Eating Disorders!

For five years that the NORMAL In Schools national nonprofit has been delivering its live programming to educate children and families in at-risk, public AND private schools, in medical facilities and in theatre festivals worldwide about the facts relating to eating disorders and mental illness. Last year we were awarded the 2010 Champion in Women’s Health Award by The Wisconsin Women’s Health Foundation. Most notably, our program assisted teenage patients into treatment for eating disorders and related illnesses due to the universal appeal of the gripping rock musical on which our program is based, and the shame-breaking talkback panel with expert clinicians and people in recovery.

As a result of NIS’s ongoing success, in Fall 2010 we are partnering with NEDA, BEDA and top medical experts to produce a cutting-edge, online film version of our award-winning program. The NIS Online Educational Program will be comprised of three 40-minute segments compiled into an online portal so individuals can log in and experience the award-winning program instantly. It will target a worldwide audience via internet release and will expand the program’s reach beyond students and educators to touch patients in recovery, families, clinicians and athletic teams.
