About Amy
Amy Dahl is a Senior Registered Dietitian at Culina Health. She has over 18 years of clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. As a HAES-aligned dietitian, Amy is committed to helping patients adopt health-promoting behaviors without focusing on weight. She specializes in eating disorder care, including the treatment of binge-eating disorder, anorexia, and bulimia, providing compassionate, evidence-based support to individuals on their recovery journeys.
Before joining Culina Health, Amy worked at Monte Nido Eating Disorder Center, where she gained extensive experience in eating disorder treatment. She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition from New York University and a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Boston College.
Amy’s passion for nutrition began when she witnessed a family member with diabetes recover from a severe hypoglycemic episode through proper nutrition. This pivotal moment sparked her desire to educate and empower individuals through food and nutrition. Today, she continues to find fulfillment in providing personalized, patient-centered care and fostering meaningful connections with her patients and their families.

What’s your nutrition superpower? My nutrition superpower is working with my patients and their families to help them reach a place of recovery. Dealing with an eating disorder is hard on everyone in the family, and I help the entire family get to a better place. Having someone come in with a fear of a specific food when they come to me and leave loving that food is such an amazing thing to see.
Nutrition myth or trend you find particularly annoying and would like to set the record straight: Most people don’t know that there is a lot of research to support the fact that weight does not correlate with health. There are many studies out there showing that the Health At Every Size model can improve physical and mental health, including cardiac markers such as cholesterol and blood pressure.
