Jenni Schaefer

Jenni Schaefer is an internationally known author and speaker whose work has helped change the face of recovery from eating disorders. Her breakthrough best-seller, "Life Without Ed: How One Woman Declared Independence from Her Eating Disorder and How You Can Too" (McGraw-Hill), 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. Her latest book, "Good-Bye Ed, Hello Me: Recover from Your Eating Disorder and Fall in Love with Life" (McGraw-Hill), takes the journey a step farther, from recovery to liberation. Jenni is a regular guest on national radio and television shows including "Dr. Phil" and "Entertainment Tonight," a contributor to mainstream magazines and collections like the "Chicken Soup" series, and a popular speaker at schools, conferences, and other venues. She is also a consultant with Center For Change in Orem, Utah, and a member of the Ambassador Council of the National Eating Disorders Association. Her work has been recognized in publications including "Cosmopolitan," the "Chicago Tribune," "The New York Times" and "Woman's World." A singer/songwriter living in Austin, Texas, Jenni uses both music and humor in her outreach efforts to help those touched by eating disorders. She is, she says, "single in the city," enjoying a life she considers a gift to be treasured. For more information, visit jennischaefer.com.
