Eating Disorders w/ Katie and LMFT Christina Zandi – CHSBT – 039

Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness. Many of us are familiar with anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating, but sometimes it’s difficult to recognize (let alone help) students, friends, and family members with these disorders. Maybe we struggle with recognizing it in ourselves. Chris had a chance to sit down with Katie Seals and LMFT Christina Zandi to glean professional and personal wisdom on how to recognize, support, and love people who struggle with disordered eating. They also explore the connections between eating disorders and body image. Through Katie’s story and Christina’s clinical expertise, they provide helpful perspective and advice that everyone should hear.

Why We Confess

My friend Jen asked me, “So, what’s the deal with this podcast? What are you doing?” She is definitely not the only person who has asked me this question. In fact, when we started, Chris and I had to ask ourselves why would producing such a podcast even be worthwhile? The original impetus was to produce something for people like us, people who find themselves in the interesting world of Christian education with teenagers. Essentially what we realized is that Christian school teachers and students needed a space where they could explore their own theology, grow in the way they frame their discussions with students, and have a couple of voices out there talking about the things they encounter in their world.

In the United States alone, there are about 14,000 Christian Schools (Catholic or Protestant) connected to different private school associations. These schools account for over 3 million students and about 250,000 teachers. We wanted to make space at the theological discussion table for those who grow up, teach, and raise children in this unique educational faith context. While the topics we discuss will definitely apply to those who never attended or taught at a Christian school, our primary lens through which we choose and approach topics will be through the Christian school lens.

Shalom,
