Shan Guisinger, Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist based in Missoula, MT, specializing in the understanding and treatment of eating disorders and obesity. Challenging traditional views, Dr. Guisinger argues that these problems should be analyzed within the context of evolutionary history and behavioral ecology, as many eating and weight issues today have their roots in adaptations to survive famine.
With a focus on complex biological mechanisms rather than individual choice, Dr. Guisinger aims to provide better understanding and treatment for eating disorders and obesity, which have significant impacts on disability and mortality worldwide. By challenging societal norms and biases, Dr. Guisinger believes that increasing health and happiness in relation to eating problems is possible.
