Dr. Risa Fridy is an adolescent and young adult medicine physician who practices in a solo, private medical practice in New York City. Dr. Fridy founded Tribeca Adolescent & Young Adult Medicine, where she provides adolescent and young adult patients with personalized, highly-attentive, and comprehensive medical, as well as emotional, care – the optimal strategy to prevent and/or overcome an eating disorder.
In today’s episode, Dr. Risa Fridy and I discuss the medical complications related to eating disorders. We mainly focus on restrictive eating disorders and purging behaviors and their impact on the body. We also cover how doctors monitor these risks so you’ll know what they’re doing next time you visit the doc. My hope is that this information will empower you to find the right doctor and take significant steps toward recovery.
