About Jacs Scheinman

I'm a Registered Dietitian with over 5 years of experience providing affirming nutrition care. I specialize in supporting people with eating disorders, feeding differences, and intersecting identities such as neurodivergence and chronic illness. My approach is trauma-informed, gender-inclusive, and neurodiversity-affirming, with a deep respect for autonomy and body diversity. My Mission To help adolescents and adults find ease and confidence with food by focusing on what matters most to them, identifying barriers, and collaboratively building systems that support their needs. Eating is dynamic—it doesn’t fit into one box, and neither should your care plan. Clinical Interests & Focus Areas Gender-affirming nutrition strategies Body image support and navigating dysphoria Eating disorders and feeding differences (namely ARFID) Sensory- and executive function-friendly eating Neurodivergent-affirming nutrition care Chronic health conditions (GI disorders, EDS, POTS) Inclusive nutrition for LGBTQ+ athletes My Approach I incorporate aspects of multiple frameworks, drawing on what best supports each client in their real-life context. While I’m inspired by the philosophies below, I don’t subscribe rigidly to one method because eating—and healing—are dynamic: Responsive Feeding Therapy (RFT) Trauma-Informed Care Neurodiversity-Affirming Model Non-Diet and Health at Every Size® (HAES) principles Therapeutic strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) This flexible, individualized approach honors your lived experience and centers collaboration over prescription. Core Values Authenticity. Compassion. Justice. Humor. Flexibility. These guide every conversation I have with clients. My role is not to impose rules, but to create an affirming space where we can explore, adapt, and build systems that work for you.
