Blending personal narrative and investigative reporting, Emmy
Award-winning journalist Cole Kazdin reveals that disordered eating
is an epidemic crisis killing millions of women. Women of all ages
struggle with disordered eating, preoccupation with food, and body
anxiety. Journalist Cole Kazdin was one such woman, and she set out
to see if the impossibility of her own full recovery from an eating
disorder was all in her head. Interviewing women across the country
as well as the world's most renowned researchers, she discovered
that most people with eating disorders never receive treatment--the
fact that she did made her one of the lucky ones. Kazdin takes us
to the doorstep of the diet industry and research community,
exposing the flawed systems that claim to be helping us, and
revealing disordered eating for the crisis that it is: a mental
illness with the second highest mortality rate (after
opioid-related deaths) that no one wants to talk about. Along the
way, she identifies new treatments not yet available to the general
public, grass roots movements to correct racial disparities in
care, and strategies for navigating true health while still living
in a dysfunctional world. What would it feel like to be free? To
feel gorgeous in your body, not ruminate about food, feel ease at
meals, exercise with no regard for calories-burned? To never making
a disparaging comment about your body again, even silently to
yourself. Who can help us with this? We can. What's Eating Us is an
urgent battle cry coupled with stories and strategies about what
works and how to finally heal--for real.
