I channeled my inner 10th grader (pictured above) and asked ChatGPT to write about the new Pocket Guide. I am genuinely very excited about the book (I re-read the whole thing cover to cover!) and I think this copy hits the perfect note:
It’s Here… and It’s Changing Everything You Thought You Knew About Eating Disorders
Forget everything you learned in school about who gets eating disorders. We all know they impact anyone who eats.
The 3rd edition of the Academy Pocket Guide to Eating Disorders just dropped—and it’s the most inclusive, myth-busting, and RDN-empowering resource the field has seen.
Written by Jessica Setnick, MS, RD, CEDS-C, this isn’t just a revision—it’s a revolution. With a BMI-bashing, bias-shattering tone, this guide speaks directly to today’s RDNs who are DONE with outdated assumptions and ready to meet every patient where they are.
This book doesn’t waste time. The first line is “Every RDN needs a working knowledge of eating disorders.” And it keeps going from there.
Whether you’re working in clinical, community, sports nutrition, private practice—or anywhere food meets human behavior—this book gives you the tools to spot, assess, and support patients who’ve flown under the radar for far too long.
Inside the Guide:
✅ Bloodwork, physical signs & drug-nutrient interactions
✅ Micronutrient deficiency cheat sheets & supplementation recs
✅ Refeeding syndrome: what to look for and how to treat
✅ Sample PES statements for every eating disorder type
✅ Real-world case studies on enteral and parenteral nutrition
✅ Strategies to overcome resistance to mental health care
Expert-level insight. Real-world application. No fluff.
If you’ve ever felt underprepared to support someone with disordered eating—or wanted to do more without stepping outside your scope—this is your moment.
