A Sound Mind, A Sound Body: Eating Disorders Awareness & Prevention

Did you know that eating disorders have the highest premature mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder? Or that in the United State, eating disorders are more common than Alzheimer’s disease, even in spite of the fact that eating disorders are tremendously under-reported and under-treated? The truth is that the majority of people don’t and this is not going to change until the overall lack of awareness and the associated stigma of eating disorders decreases.

Hello, my name is Chelsey Cogil. I have grown up in a family where eating disorders run common, so I know first hand how eating disorders have a negative impact on family. I also know how eating disorders percolate from families into the community. This is why I have created this website, in trying to do my part to spread eating disorders awareness, prevention, and advocacy.

I hope that you enjoy the following information. Please contact me with any comments or ideas!
