In this interview my guest Dr. Cristina Castagnini talks about how her own struggles with an eating disorder at an early age,  inspired her to help and counsel others. We talk about being physically hungry, or emotionally hungry, and how those things are showing up in our lives now.  Fortunately, Cristina shares with us the things we can control, and how they support healthy eating.

Cristina Castagnini, Ph.D., CEDS, is a licensed psychologist and is recognized as a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist by the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP).

After overcoming her own struggles with having an eating disorder, it was always her dream to focus solely on helping women overcome their struggles with food and body image and to achieve a balanced life.

For over the past 20 years, Dr. Castagnini has been treating patients with a variety of mental health diagnoses, supervising postdoctoral residents, and continuing to grow her private practice. 

She feels fortunate that she is now able to do just that, as the lead adult eating disorder specialist at Kaiser Permanente in Pleasanton, CA, Dr. Castagnini left to open the doors to her private practice full time in San Ramon, CA.  

She aims to find the work-life balance being a single mom to two awesome kids, ages 11 and 13, but knows first-hand there is just no way to do it all.
