Buck Runyan is the executive director for Remuda Ranch at the Meadows eating disorders critical care units and in-patient, residential programs. His presentation is an overview of what eating disorders are and, more importantly, what they are NOT. It covers the components of addiction, personality and temperament and focuses on how to talk about eating disorders in a way that encourages healing and recovery.

Prior to joining Remuda Ranch he had a private practice in Southern California treating clients with eating disorders, self-injurious behavior and bariatric surgery.
