Compensatory Patterns Dietitians Miss: Exercise, Clean Eating, and Wellness Culture Behaviors

Webinar Thursday, April 2, 2026

Join NEMDA as they host an online, 1.25 CEU that examines the compensatory behaviors dietitians often overlook—particularly those rooted in exercise habits, “clean eating,” and broader wellness culture—and explores how these patterns can impact client health and nutrition care. This session is being led by Michelle Felton, LMHC, LCMHC, CEDS-C and Kat McCurdy, RDN, CEDS.

​

In this session, dietitians will sharpen their ability to distinguish healthy exercise from over-exercise and recognize key features of orthorexic tendencies in clients. We’ll unpack the influence of wellness culture, challenge common myths, and explore how these dynamics show up in practice. Participants will also learn when behaviors signal the need for referral to a higher level of care.

​
