Christina Safran, co-founder and CEO of Equip Health, shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with an eating disorder at a young age and struggling with it throughout her adolescence. She emphasizes the importance of evidence-based treatment, specifically family-based treatment (FBT), which has been found to be the most effective for kids, adolescents, and young adults with eating disorders. FBT involves taking a holistic approach and leveraging the support of family members in structuring the home environment for pro-health behaviors. Christina's own recovery and experience with the lack of accessibility in the field led her to create solutions to make quality treatment more accessible.
