TW: eating disorders. We will not be discussing specific numbers or behaviors in detail. We will be sharing personal experiences with our own eating disorders. We want you to remain as safe as possible and if you are sensitive to this topic, we advise skipping this episode. We want everyone to remain healthy and protect their recovery as much as possible.
On this episode of Imperfect Humans, hosts Kelsee and Melissa start to bring awareness to eating disorders and their prevalence. February 21st-27th marks #NEDAWeek (National Eating Disorders Awareness Week) with the theme this year being See the Change, Be the Change - the conversation centers around how the view and treatment of eating disorders has changed over the past 2 decades AND bringing recognition to how far we still have to go in supporting and treating those with eating disorders.
