EP 23: Facts, Truths & All the Stats - Why Eating Disorders Need to Be Talked About + A Gift for You!


Listen Later

It’s National Eating Disorder Awareness week! It’s time to share hope for recovery & it’s time to uplift & encourage all of you who may be battling this awful disease.  


In today’s episode I share all the facts, truths & stats surrounding disordered eating & the impact of eating disorders on our society. I also share a special free gift just for listening to today’s show & spreading the word by sharing this episode with a friend or loved one. 

Researchers believe:

  • 8 million Americans have an eating disorder – seven million women and one million men
  • One in 200 American women suffers from anorexia
  • Two to three in 100 American women suffers from bulimia
  • Nearly half of all Americans personally know someone with an eating disorder (Note: One in five Americans suffers from mental illnesses.
  • According to Johns Hopkins, NEDA, ANAD & others, eating disorders are on the rise since Covid & they have no gender, ethnic, or socioeconomic prerequisite across those who struggle.

    it’s important that you know today that eating disorders aren’t a choice, behavior problem, or lack of willpower. An eating disorder is an illness with biological & genetic roots that are influenced by culture, belief & IMO unfortunately social media! 

    If you didn’t know already, eating disorders have the highest mortality rate than any other mental health illness?! But why aren’t they talked about more?! I share all of this and then some in episode 23!

    & while these statistics may be hard to hear, today’s message is to give you hope & to celebrate with you as you embark in your recovery journey.

    sweet friend, your future looks so very bright, you just have to WANT to make a change ✨

    Recovery is possible for you girl!

    I know because I’ve been right where you are. & now it’s my life’s mission to help others find the exact freedom that I have found, leveraging the exact principles I used to transform my body & my mind & break the chains that anorexia had over my life.
