This is a reposting of an episode I recorded with Cristina Castagnini for her Behind the Bite Podcast.

Cristina Castagnini, Ph.D., CEDS, is a licensed psychologist and is recognized as a Certified Eating

Disorder Specialist by the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP). She

graduated with honors, earning her bachelor’s degree in psychology from The University of California,

Santa Cruz, her Master’s Degree in clinical psychology (with an emphasis in Marriage and Family

Therapy) from Pepperdine University and her doctoral degree in counseling psychology at the University

of Southern California.

For over the past 20 years, Dr. Castagnini has been treating patients with a variety of mental health

diagnoses, supervising postdoctoral residents, and continuing to grow her private practice. After

overcoming her own struggles with having an eating disorder, it was always her dream to focus solely on

helping women overcome their struggles with food and body image and to achieve a balanced life.

She feels fortunate that she is now able to do just that, as in October of 2019, after 15 years as the lead

adult eating disorder specialist at Kaiser Permanente, Dr. Castagnini left to open the doors to her private

practice full time in the San Francisco Bay Area.

She aims to find the work-life balance being a single mom to two awesome teenagers, but knows first-

hand there is just no way to do it all.
