One of the biggest obstacles to treating #eatingdisorders (as experts on our #RINSEREPEAT ep revealed) is that medical pros don't know how to properly identify the signs. It's actually shocking. The Anna Westin Legacy Act changes that. Take action: https://t.co/i7bghaWkGJ

Today's #PostReports hits on something we explored in our third-ever episode (!) about @LifespanOfAFact: the media's role in truth-telling, the importance of language, & media bias. Take a listen (https://t.co/qDUxWjdDWG) & then go back & listen to our ep: https://t.co/j2TpimZzu4
