Podcast
We chatted with Cole Kazdin, author and journalist of the groundbreaking book What’s Eating Us. She shared her journey with eating disorders and why she decided to write the book, blending personal narrative with investigative reporting. We discussed the concept of being “cured” from eating disorders, growing up in diet culture, and intuitive eating. Cole also talked about how we can give ourselves grace in our relationship with food and eating – listen here!
