EP 75: The Truth About Eating Disorders

Every 52 minutes, someone dies as a direct result of an eating disorder in the U.S. -- making them one of the deadliest yet most overlooked mental challenges in our country. Plus, the fact that over 30 million Americans are affected by this silent crisis drives home the fact of why it's so important that we talk about this difficult topic. Nicole chatted with Johanna Kandel who is the Founder and CEO of The National Alliance for Eating Disorders. Not only has Johanna recovered from a decade-long battle with an eating disorder, but she has made it her mission to provide nationwide education, resources, and support groups to those in need through her non-profit. If you're a parent or guardian, it is so important that you hear this information, so you can be equipped with the knowledge of what early warning signs may look like if someone is struggling.
