MSNBC's Morning Joe Co-host Opens Up About Disordered Eating

Mika Brzezinski’s Book About Her Disordered Eating

Co-host of MSNBC’s weekday morning talk show Morning Joe Mika Brzezinski opens up about her struggles with disordered eating on Katie and in her new book, Obsessed: America’s Food Addiction-and My Own.

In the book, Brzezinski discusses her addiction to certain food substances and decades of disordered eating – bingeing, then running excessively to burn off the calories, while also discussing America’s obesity epidemic.

After years of denial and secrecy, she finally decided to admit and confront her struggles while talking to a friend about her friend’s obesity. While talking with her friend, Mika realized that though they were different body sizes, her and her friend were struggling with similar feelings and issues.

And because Mika was doing research and talking about America’s obesity crisis on Morning Joe, she learned that along with millions of other Americans, she had been addicted to salt, sugar and fat and began to take notice of the overwhelming amounts of these substances in restaurants and fast food joints.

And part of confronting her own issues–and the therapeutic healing–came in the form of her writing this book.  Because she is in the public eye, she wanted people to know where she was coming from. Mika says that she is sharing her story and struggles so others can relate and hopefully find the treatment and healing they need.
