When you hear the words “eating disorder” most people get an image in their mind of what that means and what that “looks” like. Unfortunately, that can lead to many missed opportunities to help people. If we use different terminology, such as disordered eating or dysfunctional eating behaviors, we create broader language that speaks to a much broader spectrum of individuals who may have problematic eating behaviors. Eating Disorder Specialist Jessica Setnick breaks it all down in this powerful, informative episode.
Bio:
Jessica Setnick is a rare mix – an irreverent nutrition expert who
knows her stuff but doesn’t take herself too seriously. With a
light-hearted look at how we got into this mess, Setnick brings a
fresh, smart perspective to our relationships with food. In her
quest to create a world where no one is ashamed of their eating and
everyone has enough, Jessica blends her personal story of eating
disorder recovery with twenty plus years of working in the field to
cook up strategies that all of us can try. She writes, speaks and
interviews worldwide, all centered around the idea that everyone
who wants help should be able to get it. Her advocacy work knocking
down insurance barriers to treatment and systemic bias in
healthcare has made a difference, but she’s not done yet. Her
latest workbook is called Food Fairy Tales: Change The Stories You
