AthleatMD Care Collaborative
Exceptional, specialized, coordinated care for athletes with eating disorders and REDs
The Collaborative brings together an expert medical provider, registered dietitian, and sport psychologist as one integrated care team. Providers communicate regularly, share clinical insights and recommendations, and work together to align medical care, nutrition, psychological support, treatment, and return-to-sport planning.
Rather than placing the responsibility for coordinating multiple providers on the athlete or family, our team manages that communication behind the scenes, creating a more seamless and supported experience throughout recovery.
How the AthleatMD Care Collaborative Works
Expert-Led, Multidisciplinary Care Specifically for Athletes
Experts in eating disorders and REDs contribute to a shared understanding of the athlete, integrating medical, nutritional, psychological, and sport-specific perspectives.
Individualized Treatment Planning
Care is tailored to the athlete’s clinical needs, recovery stage, sport, and goals. The team adjusts recommendations as the athlete’s needs evolve.
Ongoing Communication & Collaboration
Providers communicate proactively, review progress, and address emerging challenges together so that care remains aligned and responsive.
Coordinated Support Team Meetings
With the athlete’s consent, the care team may meet with family members, athletic trainers, coaches, sports medicine professionals, or other members of the athlete’s support system.
These meetings help:
-
Align everyone around the athlete’s recovery plan
-
Address training, competition, and return-to-sport considerations
-
Identify barriers or changes in recovery
-
Clarify recommendations and roles
-
Coordinate next steps and support
Designed to Reduce Fragmentation
The AthleatMD Care Collaborative brings the athlete’s key providers, and when appropriate, members of their support system, into closer communication. This helps ensure that recommendations remain aligned, important changes are recognized early, and everyone understands their role in supporting recovery.
Individualized by Design
The AthleatMD Care Collaborative is a private-pay, multidisciplinary, high-touch, fully virtual service. The frequency and intensity of care are determined by the athlete’s individual needs rather than a predetermined schedule.
The goal is not simply more care. It is better-connected, more intentional care, with the level of communication and support needed for each athlete and family.
Collegiate & Sports Organization Partnerships
The AthleatMD Care Collaborative is also available to collegiate athletic departments and sports organizations seeking coordinated multidisciplinary support for their athletes (contact us to learn more about partnership options).
