Sample Referral Letter – for Nutitionist to Patient
The following is a suggested referral letter, that Nutritionists may use to send out to Clients who may be have any problems with compulsive overeating, obesity, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, restricting, over-exercising, and body dysmorphia.
Dear ________ :
Based on our recent discussion, I know you are looking for additional resources to address your nutritional issues. Overeaters Anonymous is a 12 Step program patterned after that of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), yet focused on compulsive eating and compulsive food behaviors.
Only you can determine if this group would be of benefit to you. As your nutritionist, I know that your desire to practice healthy eating plays an important part in your overall physical health. OA has proved to be a workable solution for thousands.

Sincerely,
