People with eating disorders can come in all weights, sexes, and ages
They don’t cause their own eating disorder; it’s caused by accidental starvation of the brain by going on diets or over-exercising
The treatment involves four things: 
- Engage the patient
- Re-nourish their body so they are medically not at risk
- Re-nourish their brain to get them out of obsessive starve thinking and back to flexible insightful thinking 
- Link them with psychotherapy that’s evidence-based and provide lots of education and common goals
