Jenni Schaefer is an internationally known author and speaker whose work has helped change the face of recovery from eating disorders. Her breakthrough bestseller, “Life Without Ed: How One Woman Declared Independence from Her Eating Disorder and How You Can Too” (McGraw-Hill, 2003), popularized an approach that enables men and women to personify their illness (Jenni called hers "Ed," short for "Eating Disorder") and "divorce" themselves from it.
