Summary
In this episode of The GP Show, Dr Ashlea Broomfield speaks with accredited practising dietitian Shane Jeffries about the RAVES Eating Model - a structured, adaptable framework for understanding and supporting eating patterns in general practice. Originally developed for eating disorders, RAVES has been applied more broadly in primary care settings to support patients with body image concerns, disordered eating, chronic disease, metabolic health, and sports nutrition. RAVES stands for: Regularity – consistent eating patterns Adequacy – meeting energy and nutrient needs Variety – flexible, balanced food choices Eating socially – navigating real-world meals Spontaneity – adapting to unexpected situations In this episode, Ashlea and Shane discuss: • How diet culture and moralising food shape people's relationships with eating • The difference between calories and nutritional adequacy • How RAVES complements CBT-E, FBT, and plate-based approaches to disordered eating • The role of hunger, fullness, and interoception in clinical practice • Considerations for restrictive eating, neurodivergence, and GLP-1 medications • Using RAVES as a structured thinking tool for GPs, even without providing detailed nutrition plans Key takeaway: RAVES is not a diet - it's a practical, person-centred framework that balances structure, flexibility, and clinical nuance to support sustainable change across diverse contexts. 🔗 Learn more at raveseatingmodel.com ...
