As if that is something to be ashamed of, as if that’s a shameful way to live your life. It was seen as a women’s problem.” -David Proctor --“Are we waiting for someone to die before we act on this? Eating disorder research is woefully underfunded compared to other public health problems. We need to step up the research, we need to get more papers into the literature….we cannot continue to let it be something that people whisper about it.” -Paula Quatromoni  Follow Social Sport:  Website  Instagram Facebook Twitter  *The RED-S/eating disorder series is sponsored by FEM Protein Powder.
