Central Coast Voices: Let's get real about eating disorders

Broadcast date: 3/1/2018

As part of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week we will be changing the conversation around food, body image and eating disorders. 30 million Americans will struggle with a full-blown eating disorder and millions more will battle food and body image issues that have untold negative impacts on their lives. Eating disorders can affect anyone, anywhere. And no one has to struggle alone.

Join Kris Kington Barker as she speaks with guests Marlena Tanner, a Certified eating disorder registered dietitian, and Program Director with Central Coast Treatment Center, Katie Boucher, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, program therapist and insurance review specialist with Central Coast Treatment Center and Rebecca Tom as they bust the harmful myths and stereotypes about what eating disorders look like and discuss how you can make a difference.

Central Coast Voices is sponsored by ACTION for Healthy Communities in collaboration with KCBX and made possible through underwriting by Joan Gellert-Sargen.

Kris Kington-Barker is co-host of Central Coast Voices, heard every Thursday on KCBX from 1:00—12:00 p.m. Kris has worked in healthcare fields ranging from mental health to hospital administration, and has served as a volunteer and board member for many Central Coast non-profit organizations.
