Summary

A lot of us struggle with our relationship to food. We may be overly restrictive. We may use food to cope with difficult emotions or stress. But for some of us, the struggle goes beyond this, and becomes a dangerous mental illness. Today, we revisit one of our most important episodes exploring eating disorders and disordered eating. How do we know if we have an eating disorder? Who can eating disorders affect? And what does a healthy relationship with food look like? Today, we speak to Professor Jennifer Thomas from Massachusetts General Hospital and and Professor Kristin Javaras from Harvard Medical School.
