Full eating disorder recovery is possible! Even in the midst of an eating disorder, God is the God of hope, healing, and restoration. Be encouraged today as FINDINGbalance Executive Director, Chrissy Kirkman, chats with Dr. Alisa Shanks, a clinical psychologist and FINDINGbalance board chair.

A marinade infuses flavor. Unfortunately, we live in a diet culture infused with toxic messages about size, shape, body image, worth, value, what is and isn’t “okay” to eat, how our bodies are “supposed” to look, and other lies from the enemy. Be filled with hope as Dr. Shanks exposes cultural lies and replaces them with sound, biblical truth.
