Are you an adult or teen struggling with self-image and overly concerned with food and weight? Are you frequently skipping meals or appear out of control with eating large amounts of food? 

Several million people suffer from eating disorders. Typically, these affect women between the ages of 12 and 35 but can go undetected in men and older adults. Disordered eating, which includes Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder can occur with other mental health issues including depression, anxiety, and self-esteem problems. Disordered eating can lead to severe health issues that affect bones, teeth, mouth, heart, digestive system and can be life-threatening.
