Emily Baum, RD, LD, CEDS

Nutrition Philosophy

Hi! I’m Emily Baum, a Registered Dietitian (RD) and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) based in Dallas, Texas. Whether you’re struggling with an eating disorder, disordered eating, or simply want to feel more at peace with food, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. I believe that true healing starts with creating a safe, supportive space where we can explore and challenge the beliefs and rules that may have shaped your relationship with food.

I follow an All Foods Fit philosophy, which means that together, we can work to unravel restrictive food rules and beliefs that may have been limiting your health and quality of life. By learning to listen to your body’s natural hunger and fullness cues, we can gradually embrace a more intuitive approach to eating—where all foods have a place and purpose, without guilt or fear. My goal is to help you break free from food stress and build the confidence to nourish your body in a way that feels good, so you can live more freely and with less worry.

About Me

I found my passion in the eating disorder field while working as a Milieu Therapist at Children’s Health Eating Disorder Facility & Behavioral Health Technician/Dietary Assistant at Eating Recovery Center. These experiences allowed me to learn the ins & outs of eating disorder treatment by working directly with clients and the various disciplines with diverse treatment approaches. Upon completion of my studies, I went on to build the nutrition program at a Dallas based treatment center working with individuals across the levels of care — residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, & outpatient treatment. I have experience helping individuals of many ages, races, cultures, body sizes, sexualities, and gender identities. I utilize my experiences to provide a sensitive ear to clients & continue to educate myself about social injustices & other marginalized experiences.

I am a coffee connoisseur & lover of all breakfast foods! I enjoy spending time outdoors, gardening, & playing with my pup Winnie! In the evenings, you can find me watching crime documentaries while working on a puzzle — a newfound hobby that I turn into art pieces!
