Clinical director Nicole Siegfried will be a featured guest on the premiere of "The Mind of the Matter" on Voice America web-based radio next week.
In an episode titled "The Secret Life of Eating Disorders," Dr Siegfried will be speaking with host Susan Hickman about Magnolia Creek, struggles with eating disorders, aspects of the treatment program, our research studies, and important factors in recovery.
From their website:
The statistics on eating disorders are staggering, including the fact that eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness. The National Eating Disorder Association states that an estimated 10 million females and 1 million males suffer from Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia Nervosa, while millions more suffer from Binge Eating Disorder. Although some protective factors have been noted for certain groups, no society studied appears to be immune to developing the disorder. The alarming news is that the last two decades have witnessed an unprecedented growth in the disorder, with newly diagnosed cases reaching into early childhood. Despite these daunting findings, eating disorders continue to be under-funded in research, receive grossly inadequate insurance coverage and the societal pressure to be thin continues unabated. To learn more about the symptoms and treatment of eating disorders,
please invite others and tune into the show. Together we can make a difference.
The show is scheduled to air on the Variety channel of Voice America on Thursday, November 3 and Thursday, November 10 at 6:00 am PST (8:00 am CST) and again at 6:00 pm (8:00 pm CST). The show will be archived as well and be made available as a free download from iTunes.
