icon mic

January 23, 2023

At least one in ten people will be diagnosed with an eating disorder in their lifetime. Despite how common they are, most of us have misconceptions about who suffers from an eating disorder and what they look like. On this episode of the Business Group on Health podcast, Rebecca Eyre, Chief Executive Officer of Project HEAL, corrects those myths, and provides facts about the increasing prevalence of eating disorders and their effects. We also discuss issues of equity in diagnosis and treatment and how employers can create a workplace that is eating disorder informed.
