Jenni Schaefer is an internationally known author and speaker whose work has helped change the face of recovery from eating disorders.
Her breakthrough bestseller, Life Without Ed, introduced “Ed” (aka “eating disorder”) as a language for patients to name their struggles, separate from their symptoms—changing their relationships with food and their bodies. Her next books include Goodbye Ed, Hello Me: Recover from Your Eating Disorder and Fall in Love With Life and Almost Anorexic, a collaboration with Harvard Medical School aimed at helping the millions who struggle with eating, exercise, and body image, yet fall short of meeting an official eating-disorder diagnosis.
Jenni has appeared on shows like “Today,” “Dr. Oz,” and “Dr. Phil,” as well as in publications ranging from Cosmopolitan to The New York Times. A Senior Fellow with Meadows Behavioral Healthcare, she lives in Austin, Texas, where she can often be found biking, gardening, or hugging her ancient oak trees, literally—as a way to ground.
