A big congratulations and thank you to for his investigative piece in on the realities people frequently face when insurance companies authorize care for eating disorders.

When Eli reached out to our team more than a year ago about this story, we were able to share some of the challenges we've encountered as providers seeking authorization across all levels of care for people with eating disorders, as well as the difficult situations many of our patients have faced.

The reality is that mental healthcare is healthcare. Eating disorders can be highly lethal illnesses, and there are far too many factors working against insured individuals and their treatment teams when it comes to accessing early, appropriate, and adequate support.

We hope this piece sparks meaningful change and helps create a better environment for individuals affected by eating disorders and the providers working tirelessly to care for them.

We're thrilled the podcast "Humans of Eating Disorders" is back with more episodes, and extra happy to share that Dr. Gaudiani was Kate () and Pamela's (Pamela Eva Recovery ) guest on their most recent episode. Kate and Pamela do a beautiful job sharing their experiences as coaches (and as a coach/therapist — go Kate!) along with their lived experiences, all while challenging stereotypes and stigma. This conversation was right up our alley, and we hope you enjoy it! Thanks for having Dr. G as a guest, Kate and Pamela!

We’re catching up on some exciting book-sharing news! In addition to releasing her own book (2nd edition of Sick Enough!) this year, Dr. Gaudiani has also contributed to and/or reviewed several other wonderful titles.

First up: A Women’s Guide to Menopause, Body Image, and Emotional Well-being at Midlife by Signe Darpinian, AKA

As Signe shares in her book, a study by Samuels et al. (2019) found that “73% of midlife women experience dissatisfaction with their weight, which is a significant risk factor for the development of an eating disorder.” As an eating disorders therapist, Signe approaches midlife changes with care and compassion, while inviting experts from a variety of fields, including Dr. G, who contributed a vignette titled "Four Keys to Health and Vitality in Midlife and Beyond", to share their expertise.

Many providers, including physicians, receive little to no training on midlife hormone changes, and we’re honored to be part of this much-needed wave of education and awareness.

Congratulations, Signe! We’re honored to support women through their midlife hormone changes alongside you! 💚

We’ve been encouraged to see more awareness around Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) on social media lately, and we wanted to share some information we’ve seen make a meaningful difference for many of the patients we work with.

MCAS is a complex systemic condition that can show up in many different ways, with triggers ranging from alcohol, heat, and certain foods to mold, stress, and more. While we often treat individuals with MCAS who have no history of an eating disorder, we also frequently see patients in eating disorder treatment whose MCAS had previously gone undiagnosed.

The relationship between MCAS and eating disorders can be deeply interconnected. Eating disorders and undernutrition place significant stress on the body, which may trigger or intensify MCAS symptoms. At the same time, MCAS symptoms can lead to fear and avoidance of certain foods, especially when eating has been associated with discomfort or negative reactions. Over time, that avoidance can contribute to undernutrition or the development of disordered eating patterns.

This is why we believe:
• Everyone receiving eating disorder care should be thoughtfully screened for MCAS
• Individuals with MCAS should be monitored for signs of undernutrition and eating disorders

Greater awareness can lead to earlier identification, more compassionate care, and better outcomes for patients navigating both conditions.
