Episode 73: Road Trip... Destination SanFran! - "All Bodies Are Good Bodies"

Toni and Jenny take a small but mighty trip up the peninsula to SanFrancisco for a myth-busting game of Fact or Crap with Marcella Cox, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in treating eating disorders. Marcella is the Founder of Kindful Body, a collaboration of seasoned eating disorder professionals who provide online therapy and nutrition counseling throughout California. She is also Co-founder and Executive Director of the IFS Telehealth Collective, a multi-state mental health group practice dedicated to providing high quality-Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy. Marcella shed some much-needed light on the area of eating disorders and how this disease is so often missed, especially in marginalized communities. She shared multiple eye-opening statistics on top of her own personal, extremely vulnerable story. This is an episode that will touch everyone because after listening to the conversation it will become very clear that eating disorders and diet culture affect all of us.
