Goal #4: Daily ED Education – Anorexia in Boys & Men with Ross Sonnenblick

Amy Goeckel

April’s recovery goal is to implement daily education about eating disorders into your routine, because the more you know, the more empowered you become. In this episode, we're joined by Ross Sonnenblick, a Clinical Psychology PhD student at Drexel University, who shares his personal journey with anorexia and his work at Drexel's WELL Center, where he studies Clinical Psychology with a focus on eating disorders, particularly in boys and men. We discuss:

  • Ross' personal experience with anorexia nervosa
  • What he’s studying at Drexel & his aspirations after graduating
  • Why eating disorders in men are so underrecognized + key statistics
  • Lesser-known, surprising facts about eating disorders
  • The role of goal-setting in recovery
  • His personal tools for healing & advice for listeners
