Nutrition Therapy for Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: A 4-Part Consultation & Training Group
Nutrition Therapy for Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: A 4-Part Consultation & Training Group
Join Amy Isabella Chalker RDN, CEDS for an in-depth, evidence-based virtual consultation & training, centered around the latest research into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Learn together how we can help to manage this complex immune condition using nutritional considerations. As always, Amy presents through a psychodynamic lens, considering the clinical relationship as paramount to healing.
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, or MCAS, is an immune condition that disproportionately impacts the eating disorder population, with an estimated 20-25% of ED clients suffering from this complex condition. But even beyond this unique population, an estimated 15-20% of the general population suffer from MCAS - most undiagnosed.
Relying on the latest evidence-based, peer-reviewed studies, supervision from clinical leaders in the field, and hands-on work with clients, Amy is excited to offer the opportunity to delve into the best ways to support MCAS through nutrition therapy. This includes recognizing the condition in the first place, managing common co-occurring chronic conditions, all while continuing to support clients in feeding themselves competently, whether they have an eating disorder or not.
If you are working with clients or suffering yourself from gastrointestinal symptoms that seem to morph and evade real relief, and/or extend beyond traditional eating disorder recovery and refeeding, and have tried seemingly every known approach, this group is for you! When it comes to MCAS, accurate recognition and treatment is key to developing long-term, lasting relief.
This 4-part virtual consultation & training will restart in April 2025 and will run every other week. It will be offered twice weekly, so participants can select the time that works best for them from week to week.
Pricing is $500 and includes all four 90-minute sessions.
Please contact Amy (805-585-5257; amy@aicnutrition.com) to discuss your interest in joining this group. I look forward to seeing you soon for this important, in-depth, and intimate training!
