Ditch Disordered Eating with Dana: Building A Healthy Relationship with Food
Every 4th Monday 10am PT / 1pm ET
Understanding disordered eating/eating disorders and how to change your relationship with food. Ditch Disordered Eating with Dana is a platform that gives you an opportunity to be heard and share stories of your own struggles and recovery.
What if I told you that you can wake up in the morning and don’t have to think about food or your body, or how much you have to exercise? What if you woke up and thought about all of your potential and the things that you want to do for yourself, your self-care and your spirituality. What if food thoughts were off the table, what would your life look like?
What if we talked about the real issue? What’s really underlying your disordered eating? Is it shame, is it fear, is it loneliness, is it trauma, is it adequacy, is it in security? How can we help you be the best version of yourself and not let food get in the way? How can we get to the core of the issue and free you from your ED?
On Ditch Disordered Eating with Dana, your host Dana Wells helps individuals recognize if they have disordered eating or an eating disorder and how to free yourself from negative cognitions and have a healthy relationship with food, your body and yourself!

Dana has been a significant impact in my life. She has helped me get to the healthy weight I need to be. I can’t thank her enough because I wouldn’t be where I am today without her help. I have been with her for a few years and it was the best decision I ever made. She is an expert in nutrition and health and I have gained so much knowledge because of her. Dana truly supports you through your journey and cares about your overall well-being. She is one of the best out there and I would highly recommend her to anyone.Lindsay Laird
Dana is THE BEST! I was having horrible issues and pain before my wedding. She worked to understand what I needed and created a food plan for me. I now completely rethink the way I eat, what I put in my body, and how much. I went from not being able to eat without pain to feeling 100% for our wedding! Forever thankful to Dana and have recommended her team to everyone I knowMarija Issa Uhrich
I have been seeing the wonderful staff at Anue for several years and I could not be happier with the care I have received. I have always felt heard and cared for in the most honest and professional way possible. I would not be where I am today in my recovery without Dana Wells and her incredible staff. I have recommended multiple friends to this practice and look forward to continuing my work with their support.Colleen Kaufman
Anue staff have been an amazing asset to our family. Dana has helped me come to understand nutrition and recognize my behaviors and habits affecting the way I approach eating and exercise. She is very knowledgeable about a variety of topics that affect how the body processes nutrients and has been an integral part in my journey to health. I highly recommend Anue.Sarah Rotella
Dana has been a major factor in my battle with weight loss. Her no nonsense, no gimmick approach to developing the life style needed to not only lose weight, but be able to maintain it over the long haul has been "just what the Doctor ordered" for me. I highly recommend her if you are searching for the right person to stick with you as you change your life.Manfred Marotta
Dana is a pleasure to work with. She is well qualified and clearly knowledgeable and up to date on health and nutrition, and was very patient and understanding with my many questions. Her approach, which is more long term lifestyle focused than a "diet," is easy to learn and implement. I'd highly recommend meeting with her to anyone who needs help losing (or gaining) weight, or who is not sure they know how to have a balanced and healthy diet and need help from a live human instead of a search engine.Max Burton
