Welcome To My Website
The prospect of you, your child, or another family member being diagnosed with an eating disorder can be frightening and confusing. Often, people are given conflicting information, adding to the confusion.
My name is Therese Waterhous, Owner and President of Willamette Nutrition Source LLC, a private nutrition consulting business. I specialize in medical nutrition therapy for eating disorders including: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorders, eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS), and other disordered eating behaviors such as metabolic syndrome and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). I also provide information and counseling about low glycemic index and anti inflammatory diets.
Recovery is Possible
Research shows that eating disorders are not a personal or a lifestyle choice; they have a strong genetic and biological component and treatment can be effective. I believe that eating disorders are best overcome with social support and, in the case of pediatric patients, the family.
Where to Turn
If you have a loved one with an eating disorder, I can provide you with:
- Up-to-date and factual information about eating disorders
- Treatment options as part of a multidisciplinary team that includes your medical and mental health providers
- Information about how you can support a person diagnosed with an eating disorder
- An environment that is compassionate and understanding
