Rachel Farnan, MS, RDN
Registered Dietitian at Olive Tree RD
Rachel (she/her) specializes in eating disorders, intuitive eating, HAES, sports nutrition, and disordered eating. She has worked in eating disorder treatment centers for partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programming, as well as with D1 athletes in the collegiate setting.
Rachel is all about using food as fuel and the motto “all foods fit.” Through her work fueling athletes for optimal performance, she discovered another passion for addressing disordered eating prevalent in many of the various populations she has worked with. She is enthusiastic to debunk diet culture myths presented by misinformation spread in social media in order to promote a healthy relationship with food. In contrast to “healthy” diets requiring restriction of food groups, her nutrition philosophy involves what you can add to your diet to improve your health.
