Eating Disorders in the GLP-1 Era with Johanna Kandel

1 in 9 Americans will have an eating disorder over the course of their lives, and eating disorders have the second highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder. Chelsea speaks with National Alliance for Eating Disorders founder and CEO Johanna Kandel about why rates are rising, especially among young people. They also talk about GLP-1 medications, explain how health influencer content can exacerbate orthorexia, and spell out what to do if you think someone you love needs help.
