We’re so thrilled to announce Ragen Chastain, MEd as the keynote speaker for the EDAM 2026 Conference! 👏

Ragen will be presenting on Body Image and Eating Disorders in the “Age of Ozempic”, a timely and much-needed conversation about diet culture, weight stigma, GLP-1 medications, and the real implications for eating disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery.

Ragen is a speaker, writer, researcher, Board Certified Patient Advocate, and leading voice in weight science, weight stigma, health, and healthcare. Her work brings together rigorous science, clear communication, and deep compassion in a way that challenges harmful narratives and expands how we think about care.

She’ll also be joining us for a Q&A, panel discussion, and meet-and-greet/networking.

You don’t have to earn nourishment.
