I started consulting with the eating disorders program at The Ranch in February of this year. I am very excited about my work here. I am an eating disorder specialist who uses integrative medicine to treat anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and compulsive overeating. The Ranch has welcomed this approach as it includes both conventional therapies as well as the use of dietary supplements and other alternative therapies. The women's programs at The Ranch treat many co-occurring disorders and I enjoy the challenge of working with these complex patients and the very professional staff who manage them.A physician, author, and nationally recognized speaker, Dr. Carolyn Ross is a graduate of the University of Michigan School and an alumnus of Dr. Andrew Weil's Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. She holds a masters degree in public health with an emphasis on international health. She has more than 20 years experience as a practicing physician specializing in womens health and integrative medicine. She served as the Head of the Eating Disorder Program and Head of Integrative Therapies at Sierra Tucson, an internationally respected treatment center in Arizona. Dr. Ross understands the powerful role that a mind/ body/ spirit approach plays in healing, particularly in her area of expertise - eating disorders. Her first book, "Miracles in Healing" recounts her journey of self healing while offering a mesmerizing exploration of alternative and complementary healing modalities. Her second book, due out next year, guides professional in an integrative medicine approach to the treatment of eating disorders based on the highly successful program Dr. Ross has developed at Sierra Tucson.
