Isabel Wilkerson reminds us: “We are warehousing the Crown Jewels of our society. The fear of aging is the fear of how society treats aging.” This panel explores the marginalization and invisibilization of Eating Disorders at midlife and beyond, across gender, race, and bodies unseen and untreated. Health disparities in BIPOC and aging populations are linked to underrepresentation of minorities in health care. Reviewing the Nine Truths of Eating Disorders at Midlife and Beyond (Margo Maine, 2018) illuminates pathways of healing in cultural relational context. We present systemic solutions to improve and increase treatment, including effective mentorship for BIPOC providers.
