This episode is an interview with [Dr. Emily Pisetsky](https://www.psychiatry.umn.edu/bio/psychiatry/emily-pisetsky), an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and licensed psychologist. First, Dr. Pisetsky shared how she became interested in clinical psychology and the pathway she took toward studying and treating eating disorders. Next, we talked about research on body image and eating disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Dr. Pisetsky shared useful tips for curating social media feeds to maximize mental health. In addition, Dr. Pisetsky discussed prevention and treatment approaches for mental health concerns during and after pregnancy (including the importance of social support). Dr. Pisetsky has made important contributions to the field of eating disorders through both research and clinical work, and I highly recommend keeping up with her through her&nbsp;[Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=MFEDa-QAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao) and&nbsp;[Twitter](https://twitter.com/episetsky)&nbsp;accounts!
