Jessica Setnick has worked in the eating disorder field for nearly 25 years, as well as her own eating disorder recovery. She envisions a world where no one is ashamed to talk about their eating issues, and everyone who wants it has access to help. She works toward these goals by educating health professionals and the public, especially through her training workshop, Eating Disorders Boot Camp, and her Eating Disorders Pocket Guides. She started a professional organization for eating disorder dietitians through which she advocates for legislation to improve access to care. 

Anyway, about the title. I know what you’re thinking, “Um, eating disorders are definitely a problem,” and you’re not incorrect. This chat will highlight why eating disorders have come about because they were solutions to a larger problem. Solving that problem will enable you to get rid of ED for good. Solving just the problem of ED will leave you with the roots untouched. That’s when your body, psyche, whatever will find another solution to the larger problem.

Also, we talk about how anger can get the best of us and how we can approach conflict in a way that helps us learn more. Obviously not easy 🙄.
