Rebecka Peebles, MD

AAN (‘Atypical Anorexia’) takes longer to get periods back, not clear with males. 

Goal weight is the place where body and brain are healthy – HEALTHY STATE 

HOW RIGID ARE COGNITIONS?? –It’s the last thing to get better. 

Physical and mental – if we have estimated weight goal and look ok physically but rigidity is still there, we still need to push. 

What do Leptin levels tell us? – or not.  

Weight suppression has a profound effect of the brain and behavior 

What if parents don’t suck?  Meet parents where they are, and be respectful of parents. 

As a field, remember our own humility. 

The doctor needs to be the consultant.
