Did you know 28.8 million people in the United States will struggle with an eating disorder at some point in their lives? Or that eating disorders have the 2nd highest mortality rate of any mental illness, yet receive minimal funding? So why aren’t we talking about eating disorders?
STIGMA is the answer. Let’s combat this stigma and instead “Get in the Know” about eating disorders. This episode serves to provide awareness, education, and resources about eating disorders. Additionally, myths about eating disorders are addressed and compassionate validation is provided for those who may be struggling with an eating disorder or know someone who is struggling with their relationship with food or their body image.
