In this episode, I had the true joy of speaking with Dr Gennifer Gaudiani, or doctor G. For those who might not know, Dr G offers expert medical care for eating disorders and is deeply passionate about supporting adolescents and adults who have a complicated relationship with food and their body. Dr G founded the Gaudiani Clinic in 2016, which offers unique, expert outpatient eating disorder treatment for disordered eating of all shapes and sizes. On top of this groundbreaking work, Dr G is the renowed author of SICK ENOUGH, a guide to the medical complications of eating disorders, which provides patients, families and treatment providers with easy to understand information on medical issues involved in an eating disorder.
Dr G is a wealth of information and is truly revolutionising the treatment of eating disorders.
In this episode:
