Our "Neuroendolist" is an interdisciplinary listserve that discusses neuroendocrinology, stress, nutrition, and the
interrelationships of these topics. In addition to research-based
discussion of these topics, participants can also market related products,
services, and programs.
Topics being discussed include but are not limited to: Axis I disorders
such as bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance abuse,
post-traumatic stress disorder, attention deficit disorder, anxiety, and
depression; personality and illness; medical diagnoses with nutrition and
stress-influenced components, such as polycystic ovary syndrome,
fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, migraine headache, eating disorders,
sleep disorders, and weight management; complementary therapies for these
diagnoses; how practitioners can more effectively work together for the good
of their patients.
Sample topics have included:
-Healthy body image

Help for Helpers Listserve
This is an additional listserve that will
run separately from Neuroendolist. It will NOT replace Neuroendolist.
Over the years of writing about eating
disorders, I have received e-mails from colleagues asking for help with their
own eating issues. It's always an embarrassing issue for the person asking
for help, because there is an assumption that having a degree in nutrition or
counseling means one shouldn't be "weak" enough to have problems with food.
That is absolutely not true! Unfortunately, the fear of losing credibility
precludes many of our colleagues from asking for help, or talking about their
struggles, which keeps them trapped in a life that provides them with less
than they deserve.
This listserve was designed to be a place for
these professionals to connect and support each other in an anonymous fashion.
Colleagues who are interested in such a
listserve can do the following:
1. Decide which e-mail address you would
like to use as your username. Some individuals are fine with being
identified, others would prefer to remain anonymous. If you would like
to remain anonymous, then you will need to create a secondary AOL account or a
free account with a service provider such as hotmail.com, yahoo.com, or
juno.com that maintains your anonymity.
2. Write me, without signing your name (if
you wish to keep it anonymous from me as well), asking to join this listserve.
The e-mail address from which you contact me asking to be added to the
list is the one that will identify you on the listserve.
3. This is absolutely NOT a counseling or
supervision service provided by me. This service should not even be
considered as a substitute for professional counseling or supervision. It is
a safe place to support each other in a positive, constructive fashion. I am
only facilitating the process and the server space for the conversation, my
personal contributions will be minimal and administrative in nature.
Please share this information in venues where
you think there may be interested parties.
