Description: In a culture that can be diet focused and hold biases on food, weight, and exercise, it can be easy to ignore eating disorders. This week, Life Support speaks with Lyn McArthur about eating disorders, what the signs may be, and how to effectively help and treat those with eating disorders in this first part of 2. Come back in 2 weeks for part 2 of this important conversation.
