Nourishing Dance: An Essential Guide on Nutrition, Body Image, and Eating Disorders is written with an insider’s understanding of the unique needs and pressures of the dance world and the expertise of an eating disorder specialist, dietitian, clinician, and educator. This much-needed resource provides research-based, practical approaches to help dancers fuel optimally, nourish a peaceful relationship with food, and nurture more positive and resilient body image. Under-fueling, body dissatisfaction, eating disorders, and disordered eating are far too common among dancers. Despite the prevalence of these issues in dancers across genres, and their negative impacts on dancers’ physical and mental health and performance, they have not been adequately addressed in the dance community. Improving dancers’ health and well-being is necessary for both dancers and the art form to thrive, and everyone involved in the training and care of dancers can play an important role in this mission. Nourishing Dance provides essential information on nutrition, body image, and eating disorder prevention to help parents, teachers, staff, choreographers, leadership, athletic trainers, coaches, and healthcare professionals contribute to making the dance world a healthier and safer place for dancers.

Nourish: How to Heal Your Relationship with Food, Body, and Self is for anyone who feels they have a challenging relationship with food, whether they are working through recovery from an eating disorder or just don’t feel as good about their body and eating as they would like to. Heidi Schauster writes as a professional in the eating disorders field for more than two decades, as well as a person who has lived experience in recovery. She urges readers to incorporate self-love, self-care, and self-compassion in their decisions about food — instead of self-control or dieting. Her ten-step healing process helps readers design their own self-connected style of eating. This is very different than listening to what someone else tells you to eat. It requires deep listening and attunement to needs, which makes this a unique and holistic nutrition book.
