This week on Wellbeing we are presenting a double episode on Anorexia. We recently finished doing a 13-part series on anorexia and this episode is the all of those parts condensed into a short documentary. Anorexia is a condition whereby people restrict their intake of food in order to achieve weight loss. As we dive into in this series, we discover anorexia is much deeper than just weight loss. It has deep psychological underpinnings and environmental factors that can lead to it developing. We will hear from leading experts in the anorexia field: we hear the academic perspective, we will also hear from those with condition, the family members of those with condition and also hear about the recovery process. 

In this episode we hear from Dr Judith Brisman, Prof. Isabel Krug, Cherry Boone, Kelsey Osgood, Britney Burgunder, Christine Jap, David Chanwer, and Carolyn Costin.

Tune in next week when we talk about Bonita Noriss about her journey with bulimia.

We would love to hear from you! If you would like to suggest topics, give us feedback, or just say hi, you can contact us on [email protected]
