EPISODE #8 -  EATING DISORDER COACH

Considering the various #careerchoices and student's inclination to pursue something different than #conventional career choices, We have started a series of "OFF-BEAT CAREER GUIDANCE TALKS".

Where we invite the leading #careerexperts of various domains, and we ask many #questions about their #journey and respective career.

Our intention is to help #aspiringstudents to know more about different career choices but also support them in their journey to make an #informeddecision.

This time, we have invited Ms. Kelsey Khan

She is originally from the #Netherlands, but I'm currently settled in Bangalore, India. She coaches teenagers and young women to overcome #Bingeeating and #Bulimia.  

For those of you who are not aware of this, Binge eating is a condition where sometimes you have uncontrolled eating sessions, and you could be eating in secret, or eating at night when no one is around. Bulimia is a condition that goes one step further, where you develop such a strong fear of gaining weight, that you make yourself vomit or use laxatives so that the food is out of your body.  

Binge eating and Bulimia are big growing problems in India with 10 lakh+ cases every year and absolute #ZERO awareness, and the age group that is affected the most by it is early teens to mid-twenties. And because no one understands this, these girls struggle all on their own with this, and even if they try talking, people don't see it as a problem and they just ask them to have some control.
