Understanding Disordered Eating: Eating Disorder Recovery and Body Image Healing

98. Body Stuff with Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani, MD, CEDS-S


Listen Later

Let’s talk body stuff. 

So much of what happens to someone’s body when they engage in eating disorder behavior is individualized. It’s based on genetics, as well as other factors that we don't quite understand. The complexities of these effects are multifaceted, and to some extent, the specific causes may not matter. 

In this episode, I’m joined by Jennifer Gaudiani. Jennifer L. Gaudiani, MD, CEDS-S, FAED, is the Founder and Medical Director of the Gaudiani Clinic. Board Certified in Internal Medicine, she completed her undergraduate degree at Harvard, medical school at Boston University School of Medicine, and her internal medicine residency and chief residency at Yale. Dr. Gaudiani served as the Medical Director at the ACUTE Center for Eating Disorders prior to founding the Gaudiani Clinic, which is a Denver-based outpatient medical clinic dedicated to people with eating disorders and disordered eating. The Gaudiani Clinic provides weight-inclusive and fat-positive medical care and embraces treating people of all shapes, sizes, ages, and genders. The Gaudiani Clinic is licensed to practice in 47 US states via telemedicine and offers international professional consultation and education.

Dr. Gaudiani has lectured nationally and internationally and is widely published in the scientific literature as well as on blogs. She is a Fellow of the Academy for Eating Disorders, and is a former member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Eating Disorders and the Academy for Eating Disorders Medical Care Standards Committee. Dr. Gaudiani’s first book, Sick Enough: A Guide to the Medical Complications of Eating Disorders (Routledge, 2018) is available on Amazon.
