Kat McCurdy, RDN, CEDS
Registered Dietitian
Hello! I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist specializing in the treatment of athletes with eating disorders and REDs.
I bring advanced clinical expertise in low energy availability, REDs, and the intersection of performance physiology and eating disorder recovery. As a former Division I cross country and track athlete with lived experience with REDs, I offer a rare combination of firsthand understanding and specialized clinical training, allowing me to effectively treat the nuanced and often underrecognized challenges faced by high-performing athletes.
I practice from a weight-neutral, evidence-based framework, and specialize in helping athletes restore energy availability and physiological function. I regularly work with athletes presenting with complex issues, including chronic underfueling, recurrent injury, hormonal disruption, and performance decline, and am skilled in guiding athletes through both recovery and return to sport.
My experience includes developing and leading a comprehensive sports nutrition program for Holy Names Academy Rowing and serving as the Sports Dietitian for Seattle Pacific University’s Division II athletic program. In addition to my work in sport, I have extensive experience treating eating disorders across the full continuum of care, including partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs. I have also completed over 1,200 hours of supervised Medical Nutrition Therapy training at leading academic medical centers, including Weill Cornell Medical Center and NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center.
