Weekend brunch: not just a meal, but a moment of self-care. 💛 Nourishing our bodies and minds is an act of kindness to ourselves. Here’s to enjoying food without guilt and embracing the joy in each bite! #SelfCare #MindfulEating #EatingDisorders
And for the 1% who DO access it, current treatments are only effective about 50% of the time...

It's #eatingdisordersawarenessweek. Latest figures from NHS Digital indicate around ONE PERCENT of adults in the UK who need treatment currently access it.
Where is the campaign saying "anyone can get an eating disorder, but 99% of adults can't get specialist help?"

I'm not engaging much with eating disorders awareness week this year.
The way I want to raise awareness is to raise the alarms, raise a storm, raise a riot of public outrage about the immense injustices that silently ruin lives.
✨#HappyNewYear from snowy Norway!✨
I’ve been grateful to spend the holidays with family, but I know this time of year can be especially difficult for those affected by #EatingDisorders. In 2025, let’s work towards better treatments, greater understanding, and renewed hope. 💙
Why should we explore biological treatments for #EatingDisorders? This article written by my brilliant #Research Assistant Ella for the @Bfoundation explains why they're a missing part of the puzzle in addressing these complex illnesses.

Happy B-Day @eatlovelive 🎂 Last night's celebration reminded me of the powerful impact that compassionate care can bring to #EatingDisorder #recovery. What a privilege to join this amazing team in recognising another year of life-changing work #RecoveryIsPossible #BreakTheStigma

If you withdraw treatment from a patient with AN because it makes them anxious, do you understand AN at all?

Had a chat with someone recently about this. Their son, who has chronic pain following a head injury, was diagnosed with SWJ. They were told he had a type of brain energy deficit…

We are currently investigating the effects of #ZINC on symptoms of #AnorexiaNervosa (including atypical & in partial remission). If you or a loved one is interested in participating in our Melbourne-based #ClinicalTrial, please get in touch with us at [email protected]. @MonashUni
The second time in 2 weeks that zinc has come up. Funnily enough, it was one of the first things I read about when AN struck and I was looking for answers. Think Zinc: Micronutrient Supplementation for the Treatment of Anorexia Nervosa psychiatrictimes.com/view/th…

Mean age of death was 24.5 years old. A loss of 60 years of life. We can and should do better.

Researchers from @MonashUni Li-THRED are testing potential medication treatments for anorexia nervosa (AN). If you're located in VIC & currently experiencing AN, find out if you're eligible by filling out the EOI below or email [email protected] ⤵️

This is why our current hormone & medication trials include atypical #anorexia & those with AN who have managed to weight restore. BMI is not a good indicator of severity which I'm reminded of every single day seeing incredibly unwell people who are technically a "healthy weight"

I’m sure when my daughter was ill she felt that her ED was a huge part of her identity and she didn’t know who she’d be without it. This is so common.
But I can tell you: the fact that she had an ED is probably the least interesting thing about her.
Dr. Eva Cecilie Gregertsen retweeted
In the second in our series on novel treatments, we talk to consultant psychiatrist Dr Leo Chen about an exciting new trial looking at transcranial magnetic stimulation for anorexia nervosa.
