This week we welcome to the podcast nutritionist Annie Goldsmith:

Annie Goldsmith, RD, LDN holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Rochester in Brain and Cognitive Sciences and attended Winthrop University for her graduate coursework in human nutrition.

She has worked in eating disorder treatment at the Partial Hospitalization Program, Intensive Outpatient Program, and outpatient levels of care.

She founded her group practice, Second Breakfast Nutrition, in 2015; her practice is rooted in the Health at Every Size® and Intuitive Eating philosophies.

She has presented on weight-inclusive care at the NCAND regional meeting and at the annual AHEC diabetes symposium in Charlotte, NC.

Annie became interested in somatically-oriented and trauma-informed approaches to nutrition therapy in eating disorder treatment in 2018, when she began training with the Embodied Recovery Institute.

She realized that an understanding of how nervous system state impacts eating is missing from many traditional approaches to ED treatment.

She is passionate about bringing the body into the conversation and providing education to colleagues about trauma-informed approaches to nutrition therapy.
