Slowed metabolism.These are just some of the medical complications that can show up with eating disorders and undernutrition — even when someone’s labs look “normal” and even when they don’t “look sick.”In this powerful episode of My Secret Life with an Eating Disorder, I speak with Dr. Jennifer L.
