Meet the Team: Beverly Price, Registered Dietitian
Certified eating disorder specialist Beverly Price found through her research that yoga could be the missing link in eating disorder treatment.
After working in cardiac rehabilitation and cardiology research at Sinai Hospital for the first leg of her career, Price opened a private nutrition practice in Farmington Hills. She began seeing patients with eating disorders and found that there was a vital connection between behavioral and mental health on the medical side of nutrition.
“I pursued specific training in eating disorders and at the same time took an interest in a personal yoga practice while embarking on a 200-hour yoga teacher training,” Price says. “After delving into the project, I realized that yoga was the missing link in facilitating eating disorder recovery.”
Price joined the RCBM team after stepping away from the eating disorder treatment center that she owned and operated in Royal Oak, a subsequent healthcare practice sold to a private company in 2016.
She sees patients who struggle with eating disorders across the spectrum. At RCBM, patients benefit from an intensive program that provides comprehensive care for treating eating disorders, including medical nutrition therapy, psychotherapy, and medication management.
“I offer patient-centered care along with evidence-based approaches within my scope of practice,” says Price. “I enjoy working with a team of professionals to offer a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment.”
Growing up in Metro Detroit, Price earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Dietetics and Human Nutrition from Michigan State University and her Master of Education from Wayne State University. She is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist credentialed by the Commission on Dietetic Registration.
She has presented and authored articles on integrating yoga, eating disorder treatment, and other nutrition and health topics. She was recently featured as a nutrition expert in Time Magazine's Special Edition, The New Mindfulness.
“Eating disorders are not a choice. They are a serious mental illness with potential medical complications,” Price explains. “Working with practitioners with specialized training in the field is important.”
