Summary
Nine out of ten people with eating disorders never receive specialty care. They're sitting right next to you, walking wounded in a diet culture designed to keep them that way. Eating disorder dietitian Jessica Setnick has spent 28 years uncovering the intergenerational food stories, unconscious childhood rules, and emotional programming that drive disordered eating long before anyone thinks to ask for help. From the language to use when a friend is struggling to the childhood circle exercise that reveals exactly why you eat the way you do, this conversation brings eating issues out of the shadows and into the light , where healing can actually begin.
