Melrose Heals: A conversation about eating disorders

A podcast designed to explore, discuss and understand eating disorders

Eating disorders can thrive in secrecy and shame. But by having honest conversations about eating disorders and mental health, it’s possible to create opportunities for healing. That’s why we’ve created the Melrose Heals podcast.

During each episode, Karen L. Nelson, a licensed clinical psychologist at Melrose Center, hosts discussions about the topics important to people and families impacted by eating disorders. We hope you’ll listen and start healing.
