Traditional eating disorder (ED) treatment models have fallen short on including relationships to sport and movement into the therapeutic process. Opal Food and Body Wisdom treatment center in Seattle WA opened in 2012 to change that. To acknowledge that we, as humans, are embodied beings and that sport has potential to be so beneficial to us. Kara Bazzi, Opal co-founder, joins this Lane 9 podcast to talk about her experience as an accomplished D1 Collegiate runner who struggled with an eating disorder, and how she went on to build Opal with her co-founders, Julie Church RDN and Lexi Giblin PhD.
