Disordered Eating In Athletes with Dr Georgie Buckley

Dr Georgie Buckley is an accredited Dietitian from Melbourne who has extensive experience working with eating disorder population groups and in sports nutrition. Georgie is particularly passionate about eating disorder prevention and inclusive healthcare, specifically in healthcare settings where weight stigma and oppressive power imbalances are involved. In 2021 Georgie completed her PhD at Swinburne University of Technology where she explored the conceptualisation of disordered eating in current and former athletes and advocated for the awareness of eating disorders in sporting cultures. Her practice is grounded in feminist and social justice approaches to healthcare.
