Programs - Body Image


Mirror, Mirror on the Wall by Jodi Poretskin

Our individual body images are fine-tuned by the media images we ingest on a daily basis from the first minute we sit in front of a television set.  People always called Jodi Poretskin "pretty."  Yet, Jodi didn't see, "pretty," and began a 17 year struggle with anorexia and compulsive exercise.  Jodi's program takes her audience from her intimate struggles with the mirror and scale to an examination of our broader cultural looking glass. 

Jodi's graduate work in Psychology in combination with her degree in Sports Medicine adds knowledge and expertise to her program.  She believes that her drive to advocate, even when she was ill, helped her to see that recovery was possible.  Now, in full recovery, Jodi wants to help young women and men realize that, although body image is a pressing issue in society, you don't have to let it press you into any particular mold.
