Patient Education Videos
This video series helps you learn more about binge eating disorders and how the virtual IOP program works. Hear from a program alum about her experience with BED and our treatment program. We also encourage you to watch our Weight Stigma Unlearning series to learn about weight stigma and anti-fat bias. By identifying WHERE and HOW weight stigma and anti-fat bias is learned and reinforced, we can begin to do the work of unlearning concepts that perpetuate harmful narratives that are inherently rooted in racism, harms the larger body/fat community and stigmatize us all.
