A 30-page evidence-based guide for individuals, families, caregivers, and health professionals navigating Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder.

Written by Grace Russell, Accredited Practising Dietitian, this guide cuts through the confusion and shame around ARFID - and gets to what's actually happening in the nervous system around food.

Inside you'll find:

  • A clear explanation of the three presentations of ARFID (fear-based, sensory-based, and low interest)

  • The RAVES framework ARFID edition - a roadmap for what normal eating can actually look like

  • Practical strategies for eating when fear is present

  • How to work with anxious thoughts at mealtimes

  • Worksheets to map safe foods, identify patterns, and take one small next step

  • Real-life case examples across children, teens, and adults

This guide is most helpful for fear-based ARFID, and works well both as a standalone resource and alongside individual support from a dietitian or psychologist.
