In this episode, Alyssa speaks with Vaughn Darst, a Registered Dietitian specializing in treating fat, neurodiverse, queer, transgender, and non-binary clients with eating disorders. Vaughn delves into his journey to become a dietitian and how his lived experience informs his practice. We explore the nuance of practicing within our scope and how to expand our scope through continuous learning, supervision, and collaboration. Vaughn emphasizes the value of strategic self-disclosure and maintaining therapeutic boundaries while providing gender-affirming care.
