For National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, we’re sharing what we’re learning from our ongoing studies in the EAT Lab about preventing and treating eating disorders! Today’s insight comes from our GLP-1 Study!

In our GLP-1 study, we found that the prevalence of lifetime use was 2.5x higher among people with eating disorders compared to the general adult population. About 1 in 10 of people with eating disorders reported lifetime misuse of a GLP-1 drug, which included tampering with the syringe, microdosing, accelerating their doses, and sharing with friends or family. These results indicate an emergent pattern of contraindicated GLP-1 use in a high-risk population.

We asked our participants what areas of their lives are most impacted by having an eating disorder. These were some of the words that came up most frequently.

For National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, we’re sharing what we’re learning from our ongoing studies in the EAT Lab about preventing and treating eating disorders! Today’s insight comes from our Tracking Restriction, Affect and Cognitions (TRAC) Study!

We’ve learned that compulsive exercise could be driven by the nervous system trying to regulate itself, not just by psychology alone. This suggests that we may need to address the intersection between physiological and psychological factors to better prevent and treat eating disorders!

For National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, we’re sharing what we’re learning from our ongoing studies in the EAT Lab about preventing and treating eating disorders! Today’s insight comes from our personalized eating disorder treatment study (PIONEER)!

Results from our pioneer study have shown that prior to treatment, anti-fat discrimination was the most salient discriminatory experience in a majority White sample. We also found that body dissatisfaction was associated with experiences of weight stigma and ableism.
