Who Writes EatPal's Content
Who writes EatPal's content, where its clinical claims come from, and what EatPal is not. Nobody here is a licensed clinician, so the feeding-therapy claims in our articles are attributed to published research rather than to our own credentials.
Individual author profiles are not published yet. Until they are, the editorial standards below describe who writes EatPal's content and how its claims are sourced.
Editorial standards
Who writes this. EatPal's articles are written by Dj Pearson, who has spent more than fifteen years in personal training and has worked with children and families on building healthier habits. That is coaching experience, not a clinical qualification: no dietitian, therapist, or physician writes for this site.
Where the clinical claims come from. EatPal implements food chaining, a feeding therapy method published by Cheri Fraker, RD and Laura Walbert, SLP. Where an article states something clinical, that statement is attributed to published work we can point you at, not to credentials we hold. If we cannot source a claim, we do not make it.
What EatPal is not. It is a planning and tracking tool, not medical advice, not a diagnosis, and not a substitute for evaluation by a qualified professional. ARFID and pediatric feeding disorders need a real clinician. Plenty of families use EatPal alongside feeding therapy; it is not a replacement for it.
