About NourishED Research Foundation (NRFi)

NourishED is a 501c3 organization that uses research to change the conversation around eating disorers. Did you know binge eating disorder impacts 1 in 3 adults, yet goes 95% undetected and 85-90% untreated? Goverment assistance, LGBTQ2+, and BIPOC communities have 2-3x greater risk and prevalence of binge eating disorder, but most go untreated (>50%) and are underrepresented in research (<10%). Treatments have low success (<45%), high recurrence (65%), and low use (<15%) due to a variety of structural and sociocultural barriers (stigma, costs, insurance, location, time). Risk factors include marginalization, descrimination, food insecurity, stigma, trauma, nutrition scarcity, predatory food systems, and structural issues. This is a multi-systems issue that requires a multi-systems approach. At NourishED, we address these issues in 4 ways: (1) We provide free/low-cost resources on physical and mental health & nutrition. (2) We offer trainings for providers on screening, detection, & care. (3) We use inclusive research to develop viable solutions. (4) We use social media to change the environments eating disorders occur in. Please join us in creating a better future!
