Authors Catherine Brown and Christina Tinker join Kristin to have a unique conversation about eating disorders.
The statistics regarding eating disorders are staggering. 30 million people in the U.S. alone suffer from eating disorders And every 62 minutes, a person dies as a direct result of an eating disorder. In fact, there is a higher mortality rate from eating disorders than from any other mental illness.
Catherine Brown and Christina Tinker are among the 60% of people who have recovered from eating disorders. To help others who struggle, they have co-edited and contributed to a compilation of essays by women and men who have recovered from different types of eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder.
Their book Hope for Recovery: Stories of Healing From Eating Disorders shares the real struggles of people from all walks of life and the journey of the authors. Like substance use disorders, recovery is a life-long process taken one day, even one moment, at a time.
