Nutritional rehabilitation is a core part of recovery from anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Nisrine Hamad, RD, provides telehealth nutrition support that works alongside your child's therapist and physician.
Recovery from anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa almost always requires a team: a therapist to address the psychological drivers, a physician to monitor medical stability, and a dietitian to guide nutritional rehabilitation. Nisrine's role focuses specifically on that nutrition piece - helping restore consistent, adequate intake safely, while staying in close contact with the rest of your child's providers.
Where weight restoration is medically indicated, nutrition rehabilitation is introduced carefully and gradually, with attention to refeeding syndrome risk, a well-recognized complication of reintroducing nutrition too quickly after a period of restriction. Every plan is individualized and coordinated with your child's physician.
Structured, medically-aware nutrition care built around where your child is in their recovery.
Gradual, individualized nutrition rehabilitation with attention to medical safety.

Answers families often ask before booking.
No - nutrition therapy is an essential part of treatment, but recovery typically requires a full team, including a therapist and physician. Nisrine works alongside your child's other providers rather than in place of them.
Refeeding syndrome is a potentially serious shift in fluids and electrolytes that can occur when nutrition is reintroduced too quickly after a period of restriction. Nutrition rehabilitation plans are paced carefully and coordinated with your child's physician to manage this risk.
Yes. Ongoing coordination with the rest of your child's treatment team is a standard part of care, not an add-on.
In most cases, yes, through Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Oxford, Golden Rule, or UMR via Fay Nutrition. Cash-pay appointments are also available.
