What does it mean to be a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS)?
The Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) credential is a peer-reviewed credential issued by the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (iaedp) that identifies medical (MD, RN) and healthcare professionals (RD, PhD, PsyD, LPC) who have completed extensive training and passed an examination demonstrating their expertise in the treatment of eating disorders.
Professionals pursuing the CEDS credential require supervision by a qualified professional who has received approval from iaedp’s Certification Committee.

Community Education
Main Line Center for Eating Disorders values body diversity, food neutrality and the importance of having a positive relationship with food, body and movement. We have seen well-intentioned wellness messages have unintended negative outcomes on too many students’ psychical and psychological health - often progressing into disordered eating and eating disorders.
We are passionate about making a positive change in how children and adolescents learn to respect and nourish their bodies while reducing the risks associated with dieting, weight cycling and body dissatisfaction.
Promoting a healthy relationship with food and body image is essential for the mental well-being of young athletes. Sports nutrition plays a valuable role in optimizing physical and mental performance, preventing injuries, supporting growth and establishing lifelong healthy habits. Well-nourished students who feel confident and comfortable in their bodies are better equipped to concentrate and perform both on and off the playing field. Main Line Center for Eating Disorders is uniquely qualified to provide evidence-based, age-appropriate nutrition education, coaching and training for your community group, school or athletic program.
