When I sat down for coffee with Carolyn Soto Jackson, little did I realize that she had been through a serious and potentially life-threatening eating disorder. But it was one of the things that she said to me during our chat that really stuck with me: "My nutritionist literally saved my life."
That's why I want to share Carolyn's vulnerable and inspiring story of how she first began with disordered eating and critical self- judgement, as well as the intervention that ultimately ended with her being posed with a question: will she eat or will she be force fed through a tube?
Disordered eating may be something that you are dealing with or have dealt with in the past. Please know that you do not have to go through this alone. Here are some resources that can help:
National Eating Disorders Association: a non-profit that has free and low cost support options, as well as a screening questionnaire, similar to what Carolyn describes in this interview.

Eating Disorder Hope: includes resources for those who have a loved one with an eating disorder
https://www.eatingdisorderhope.com/
National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD): a non profit with a helpline, support groups and recovery mentors.

And of course, I am always here for you. Feel free to reach out to me to chat about how you can move forward with a loving relationship with food and your body:
