Eating Disorders & Body Dysmorphia Program
Prevention-Forward, Whole-Person Support
Designed to reduce risk, interrupt harmful patterns, and support healthier relationships with food, body image, and self-regulation over time.
This program integrates clinical care, behavioral health support, lifestyle coaching, and outdoor-based interventions to promote sustainable recovery, nervous system regulation, and whole-person well-being.
VBOHC-aligned options include supportive outdoor-based experiences that emphasize body neutrality, sensory regulation, gentle movement, and reconnection with the body—without performance pressure, comparison, or appearance-focused goals.
Purpose
To provide integrated, evidence-based care for individuals experiencing eating disorders, disordered eating patterns, or body image distress that:
Reduces disordered eating behaviors and symptom severity
Improves body awareness, self-regulation, and psychological safety
Supports nutritional stability and consistent daily routines
Enhances quality of life, functioning, and self-compassion
Reduces avoidable healthcare utilization (ER visits, inpatient admissions, relapse cycles)
Promotes long-term recovery, resilience, and self-management
Core Objectives
Deliver multimodal care tailored to diagnosis, symptom severity, and individual needs
Integrate biological, psychological, social, and environmental approaches to recovery
Track meaningful outcomes using validated eating disorder and mental health measures
Support equity, accessibility, and culturally responsive care across communities
Who These Programs Are For
Adults and adolescents experiencing clinically significant or emerging concerns related to:
Anorexia nervosa
Bulimia nervosa
Binge eating disorder
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
Other specified feeding or eating disorders (OSFED)
Body dysmorphic disorder or persistent body image distress
Disordered eating patterns, weight- and shape-related anxiety, or chronic body dissatisfaction
Special populations: perinatal individuals, adolescents, athletes, veterans, individuals with chronic illness, and underserved or high-risk communities.
Personalized Care Plan & Goal Setting
An individualized care plan developed through OMOHC and VBOHC frameworks that integrates medical history, nutritional needs, mental health factors, environmental context, and personal recovery goals.
Plans are designed to support nutritional stability, body safety, emotional regulation, and sustainable recovery—rather than weight-centric or appearance-focused outcomes.
Technology-Supported Progress Tracking
Optional use of approved, recovery-aligned technologies to support care between visits, such as tracking routines, sleep quality, stress levels, mood patterns, and recovery-relevant behaviors.
These tools support shared decision-making, early identification of risk, and timely adjustments to care—without reinforcing obsessive tracking or disordered behaviors.
Daily Rhythm, Nourishment & Environment Planning
Practical, evidence-informed guidance to support:
Consistent daily routines and meal structure
Gentle, non-compulsive movement (when clinically appropriate)
Restorative, non-triggering environments
Reduced exposure to body comparison and appearance-based stressors
Behavioral Health & Nervous System Support
Integrated behavioral health services through OMOHC recognize the role of trauma, chronic stress, identity development, and nervous system dysregulation in eating disorders and body dysmorphia.
Care focuses on building regulation skills, improving distress tolerance, strengthening coping strategies, and supporting psychological safety—key foundations for sustainable recovery.
Ongoing Check-Ins & Coordinated Team Care
Regular touchpoints with your care team and coordination across OMOHC, VBOHC, and existing providers (primary care, psychiatry, nutrition, therapy) support continuity, accountability, and progress toward measurable recovery outcomes.
A Prevention-Forward, Recovery-Oriented Program
This program is designed to:
Reduce relapse risk
Interrupt harmful behavioral and cognitive patterns
Support healthier relationships with food, body, and self over time
Clinical care, lifestyle support, and outdoor-based interventions are integrated to promote long-term recovery and resilience—not just short-term symptom suppression.
Individualized Coaching Grounded in VBOHC Principles
Support focuses on:
Establishing daily structure and predictability
Reconnecting with the body in safe, non-judgmental ways
Improving sleep consistency and energy regulation
Reducing stress and perfectionism-driven behaviors
Support for Recovery Stability & Resilience
Structured care emphasizes restoring physiological safety, reducing chronic stress activation, supporting emotional regulation, and strengthening long-term self-management through coordinated clinical and lifestyle support.
Ongoing Monitoring & Adaptive Care Planning
Technology-supported monitoring and regular check-ins allow the care team to identify early warning signs, adapt goals proactively, and support value-based, prevention-focused eating disorder care.
Education & Tools for Long-Term Maintenance
Participants receive practical education, recovery-aligned tools, and planning resources to support ongoing healing, reduce relapse risk, and maintain progress beyond the program.

Why Outdoor-Based Care Matters for Metabolic Health
Supportive outdoor environments can help reduce stress, support nervous system regulation, improve sleep, encourage gentle body reconnection, and decrease appearance-based self-monitoring.
VBOHC integrates these environmental supports to complement clinical eating disorder care and promote sustainable, whole-person recovery.
