Tammy Beasley, MS, RDN, CEDS-C

National Director of Nutrition Programming

With over 35 years of experience as a registered dietitian, Tammy Beasley has dedicated her career to advancing the recovery from eating disorders. She was the first registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) to earn the Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) credential through the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP) in 1993. She later served as certification director from 2013 to 2017, helping to secure CEDS approval for dietitians.

Beasley co-authored the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ Standards of Practice for Registered Dietitians treating eating disorders and has developed innovative nutrition programs nationwide. She also mentors clinicians, serves as a media resource, and operates a private practice supporting individuals and organizations.

Beasley’s core principle guides her work: “Do no shame.” She is passionate about helping clients and providers embrace the possibility of full recovery with compassion, dignity, and evidence-based care.

Dylan Carson

Director of Nutrition

Dylan Carson is a registered dietitian with four years of experience specializing in helping those with eating disorders. He earned a BS in Exercise Physiology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2018 and later earned his Master’s in Nutrition in 2021. Carson began his career as a registered dietitian working with individuals with eating disorders at Alsana’s Residential Treatment in Birmingham, AL. This is where his passion for eating disorders and helping individuals recover from eating disorders began.

In January of 2023, Carson joined Alsana’s virtual PHP/IOP and joined Enhance Nutrition Associates, working with clients in outpatient settings with a wide range of nutrition needs, including sports nutrition, diabetes management, disordered eating, and, of course, eating disorder recovery.

In 2025, Carson started his own private practice and is excited to be a part of the Magnolia Creek team as Director of Nutrition. He’s looking forward to continuing his passion for working with people with eating disorders by supporting the dietitians and staff at Magnolia Creek!
