The Things We Do To Stay Alive.
A strategic approach to eating disorder recovery for high-functioning clients who think hard, feel deep, and want more than coping skills.
I’m Christina Santini, Clinical Nutritionist (CN) with 15+ years of international experience in the science of eating disorders and addiction recovery. I help clients decode the biological, emotional, and neurological loops that keep them stuck - and guide them toward freedom through evidence-based interventions.
You’re in the right place if you feel…
Exhausted by food, weight, or body thoughts
Trapped in cycles of bingeing, purging, restricting or over-exercising
Dependent on food, alcohol, or substances to regulate emotions
Overwhelmed by anxiety, cravings, or volatility
Like you’ve tried everything and nothing works long-term
You are not broken. But the way you've coped may be.
That’s not weakness. That’s survival mode.
We just need to exit the loop - with structure, strategy, and the right tools.

The Phases of Recovery
1. Stabilization
We begin by restoring structure: blood sugar regulation, meal timing, and reducing decision fatigue. This is known as mechanical eating: a phase designed to calm your body’s panic.
2. Reconnection
Once balance is restored, we move toward intuitive eating: learning to interpret hunger, fullness, safety, and emotional signals without control or collapse.
Why Intuitive Eating?
Because true recovery isn’t about willpower. It’s about healing your chemistry, calming your nervous system, and learning to trust your body again. Extreme self-control is often just hidden chaos. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s presence. Freedom. Self-respect.
Ready to Begin?
If you’re done living in extremes - between control and collapse - I’ll help you build a new relationship with food, your body, and yourself.

“I just wanted to reach out to you and say how much you have meant to me during recovery. I often think of you and the tools you have given me, when I feel weak and think I can’t go on... but then I remember what I need to do, and I know I will be OK. I have a life today, I didn’t think possible 2 years ago. I have a boyfriend and have finished my studies. I thank you for this - without you I could not have done it.”
“I always look forward to going to your recovery workshops - somehow you always manage to nudge me forward, when I just want to hide from life. ”
“Thank you for helping me through this. I didn’t think I could ever let go; it has been all I’ve ever known to manage my pain that I can ever remember. Life is not perfect and I know that’s not the point either - letting go of the black-white thinking is not easy, but being able to live life without obsessing about food and cutting is such a relief. I could never imagine I would get to this place where I am today - free to live a life where I no longer cry myself to sleep at night or binge on pints of ice cream or resort to cutting to feel that I am somehow alive. Thank you.”
