Malak Saddy is back giving us a behind-the-scenes view of how religious practices intersect with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image.
We're talking about how religious practices like fasting can be helpful or harmful when you're working on healing your relationship with food and your body.
Malak shares her experience as a Lebanese Muslim American and debunks some of the common misconceptions about the Muslim faith and Islamic Culture.
Having trouble with unwanted comments about your body, style, or food choices?
