  • The Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery with Mallary Tenore Tarpley
    Aug 5 2025

    Over 30 million people in the USA have a diagnosable eating disorder, with many going undiagnosed, and even more having distorted thoughts about food and body issues.

    Mallary Tenor Tarpley is the author of the new book "Slip: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery," (RELEASED TODAY!) where she shares information about the genetic influences on eating disorders, how our brain changes both while suffering from ED and while recovering, and the under-discussed grey area between being total symptomatic and in active recovery.

    This month we are highlighting Improving Lives, a wonderful nonprofit helping those in Nottingham, UK, to receive enhanced mental health services and case management. Go to www.improvinglivesnotts.org.uk
