Welcome to Break Binge Eating!
Break Binge Eating is a comprehensive website dedicated to providing all the scientific information you need in relation to eating disorders, including their nature, causes, consequences, statistics, and treatments.
The information is designed to be applicable to anyone, ranging from those who simply want to learn more about eating disorders to those who are in need of evidence-based, easy-to-implement, self-help strategies.
Why I Started Break Binge Eating?
The chances are that we all know someone who has had an eating disorder.
It may be yourself, a family member, or even a close friend.
Part of my reason for providing free, important, and easy-to-read information on eating disorders was to help the community understand what people with eating disorders go through, how they can be helped, and what you can do to support them.
There are also many people who are urgently looking for strategies to help them overcome eating disorder symptoms and body image concerns. By providing these evidence-based self-help strategies, it is my hope that the millions of people worldwide who do not have access to specialized professional support have access to some form of evidence-based care.
About Me
I’m Dr. Jake Linardon, a Senior Research Fellow at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia.
My research focuses on better understanding, treating and preventing eating disorders, and I’m particularly interested in understanding how modern information technology can be used to help those most in need.
I’m passionate about helping people with eating disorders, and my ultimate goal is to find more novel, efficient, and cost-effective ways to treat them.
My research has been published in world-leading psychiatry and clinical psychology journals and I have worked with some of the most esteemed eating disorder clinicians and researchers.
I am also one of the editorial board members for the International Journal of Eating Disorders, Body Image and the Journal of Eating Disorders.
In 2021, Expertscape rated me in the top 1% of researchers worldwide specializing in eating disorders over the past 10 years.
