Disordered eating and eating disorders have changed in terms of language, scope and target demographic. What used to be a common topic in library books and after school specials is now talked about less as other mental health topics take center stage. However, more than ever with social media, weight loss drugs and misinformation, disordered eating needs to be a trending topic. 

 Listen as this townie, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker talks about her personal story with eating disorders, how her experience makes her an expert ear when helping others, talking carefully to your kids about their own bodies, the chronic effects disordered eating can have on your body, reality vs. altered photos and finally how the popular Rx weight loss drugs play into diet culture. Kaitlyn is not only an expert, but she knows what it feels like to feel the emotional and physical pull from disordered eating. If you or someone you know is struggling with this disorder, she can help.
