Feed your brain: Eating disorders

Eating disorders are much more than anorexia and bulimia. Many people — including men, older adults and people living with obesity — struggle with their relationship with food in ways that can be harmful to their health. In some cases, treatments such as GLP-1 medications may exacerbate or uncover an underlying eating disorder.

In this episode of On Nutrition, pediatrician and eating disorder specialist Dr. Angela Mattke discusses the different types of eating disorders, how to find support and treatment, and the groundbreaking research that has shaped much of what we know about starvation and nutrition.
