Get Top Eating Disorder Medical Care with Gaudiani Clinic's Dr. Sarah-Ashley Robbins, MD
It can feel nearly impossible to find quality eating disorder medical care in San Diego and elsewhere. You tell your medical doctor that you have an eating disorder, and they still weigh you, they still talk about what you should or should not eat, and they make judgments about your BMI. It discourages you so much that you avoid going to the physician until your health worsens and you end up in urgent care or the ER. There is hope. Gaudiani Clinic, founded by Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani, MD, is the top eating disorder medical outpatient clinic in the United States.

What to Do When You Feel Like Crap About Your Body
Feeling terrible about your body? Did you look in the mirror this morning and recoil? Are you filled with shame and self-loathing when you see pictures of yourself? It can be so difficult in sunny San Diego to grapple with your body image when it seems like everyone is wearing shorts and skirts. You catch yourself in a mirror, and you’re flooded with negative thoughts and emotions about your body. It feels paralyzing and isolating. Whether you have an eating disorder, negative body image sucks.
Body shame is very real. We live in a society that equates how our body looks to our value as people. It has historically been tough for women and increasingly challenging for men as the objectification of bodies increases. It can be especially difficult for non-binary people. For all genders of individuals, society often equates appearance to morality. The dehumanization and oppression in such messages are appalling.
How do you cope with all of this negativity? I have three strategies that can get you on the path to body acceptance. These concepts come from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindful self-compassion.
