Islam, Ramadan, and Eating Disorders
Dua Aldasouqi, MA, RDN, LD
Fasting is an integral part of many faith groups and is often coupled with times of feasting and joy. These can present unique challenges for individuals within these faith groups that may have or are susceptible to disordered eating at any level. In this webinar, Dua will explore this within the Muslim faith and Muslim communities.
