What is OSFED?
This diagnosis is for those who have clinically significant eating disorder symptoms that don’t fit into any specific diagnostic category but still cause distress or impairment to their everyday lives when it comes to food, weight, exercise, body, etc. “Other” includes anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder.
Is OSFED in the DSM-5?
Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorders is a diagnostic category in the DSM-5 that includes eating disorders that don’t fully meet the criteria for specific disorders like anorexia, bulimia, or BED. It is an umbrella term because those who struggle with it may experience many, varied symptoms.
We believe full recovery is possible with the right treatment.
Is OSFED in the DSM-5?
A dietitian can help a patient with OSFED to normalize their eating behaviors, improve their relationship with food, ensure adequate nutrition, and challenge food rules and beliefs around food, exercise, and body to live a happier and healthier life.
We provide both online and in-person outpatient eating disorder nutrition therapy. Our treatment includes:
- Nutritional Assessment: Nutrition status assessment, identification of deficiencies, and creating a plan to restore and maintain a healthy balance of nutrients.
- Meal Planning: We will work to develop structured, balanced meal plans, address food anxiety, and help normalize eating patterns.
- Education and Support: Continued support to help you heal your relationship with food and body. Monitor progress and adjust meal plans. Collaborate with the treatment team.
For teens and children, we offer Family-Based Treatment. And we provide ongoing support with recovery coaching and nutrition counseling. Begin healing today.
How much does medical nutrition therapy cost for OSFED?
We accept most major insurance companies and the majority of our clients pay little to nothing outside of copays or deductibles to meet with a member of our team. We also offer military discounts as we are not in network with Tricare. We always recommend checking your insurance benefits regarding nutrition coverage as coverage depends on the patient’s individual insurance plan.

Super knowledgeable and very helpful! 10 out of 10!!! - SIFU Eric ToenniesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been sending patients to Branz for a while now and there is nobody I trust more than these nutritionist and dieticians. They actually care about you and take a deep dive into your life to see what all is the reason or reasons that you cannot obtain the results you are looking for. They provide a great plan on how to get you from A to B in the best way possible. My favorite part of their care is when a patient comes back and tells me how thorough they have been in covering what is going on. Loshi VueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough great things about this practice! The team brings professionalism, heart, and deep clinical expertise to every discussion. Their initiative to keep learning, growing, and leading within the field of nutrition truly sets them apart! HeatherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve worked with Branz Nutrition Counseling on several occasions, and each experience has been exceptional. The team is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but what really sets them apart is how down-to-earth and approachable they are. Talking about food and eating behaviors can be very vulnerable—much like discussing any other mental health concern—and it makes a huge difference to work with people who meet you with kindness and zero judgment. The team at Branz truly makes people feel supported. They’re not there to lecture or shame; they’re there to help. We’ll continue to refer people to Branz because we trust they’ll be met with compassion, respect, and real expertise.

As someone who frequently refers clients her way, I have complete trust in Michelle’s expertise and compassionate approach. I know that anyone I send to her will be met with thoughtful, individualized care, and that peace of mind is invaluable. I cannot recommend Michelle and Branz Nutrition Counseling highly enough! Hannah MilksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Michelle Wilson is a joy. She approaches each person as a human, not a "patient".
