Description

Women of all ages struggle with disordered eating, preoccupation with food, and body anxiety.

Journalist Cole Kazdin was one such woman, and she set out to discover why her own full recovery from an eating disorder felt so impossible.

Interviewing women across the country as well as the world’s most renowned researchers, she discovered that most people with eating disorders never receive treatment - the fact that she did made her one of the lucky ones. Kazdin takes us to the doorstep of the diet industry and research community, exposing the flawed systems that claim to be helping us, and revealing disordered eating for the crisis that it is: a mental illness with the second highest mortality rate (after opioid-related deaths) that no one wants to talk about.

Along the way, she identifies new treatments not yet available to the general public, grass roots movements to correct racial disparities in care, and strategies for navigating true health while still living in a dysfunctional world. What would it feel like to be free? To feel gorgeous in your body, not ruminate about food, feel ease at meals, exercise with no regard for calories-burned?

To never making a disparaging comment about your body again, even silently to yourself.

Who can help us with this? We can.
