Hi! I’m glad you’re here! I’m Ginny Jones, an eating disorder expert and parent coach for parents who have kids with eating disorders. This newsletter provides practical tips for parents who have kids with eating disorders. Get ideas, support, and resources to help you navigate recovery.

I’ve been sending this newsletter for several years, but I’m moving it over to Substack on June 20, 2023. It goes out twice per month.

About me

Hi, I’m Ginny, the founder of More-Love.org and a Parent Coach. I’m on a mission to help parents understand eating disorders and care for kids with eating disorders. I draw on academic research, interviews with treatment professionals, and conversations with parents and people who have eating disorders. My approach integrates the complex interaction of biology, psychology, and society.

I’m particularly interested in the developing field of neurobiology, which gives us more information than we’ve ever had before about the brain-body connection. It reveals that the most confusing human behaviors are driven below the level of consciousness. I hope the days of blaming people for their symptoms will be in the past soon, because symptoms are signals. When we understand and work with them rather than fight them, we can make a difference.

Major influences on my work include Dr. Dan Siegel and Dr. Mona Delahooke, who beautifully explain how neurobiology influences behavior and how parents can respond.

I also write Recovery, a newsletter for deeply-feeling people in recovery from diet culture, negative body image, and eating disorders.
