Eating disorders can affect anybody. Around 30 million people in the United States have an eating disorder with anorexia being associated with one of the highest mortality rates of psychiatric disorders. Several celebrities including Demi Lovato, Paula Abdul, Russell Brand, Lady Gaga, Alanis Morissette, Princess Diana, Elton John, & Jane Fonda, have used their platform to let others with eating disorders know they’re not alone and to encourage them to seek help. On today's show, we're expanding this effort to provide some education on signs of eating disorders, how to get support for yourself or others who may have an eating disorder, and how eating disorders evolved from both our nature and nurture.
