• Acute hunger (famine) designates undernourishment over a definable period. It is the most extreme form of hunger and arises frequently in connection with crises like droughts due to El Niño, wars and disasters. It often affects people who are already suffering from chronic hunger. That applies to almost eight percent of all hungry people. https://www.welthungerhilfe.org/hunger#:~:text=Chronic%20hunger%20designates%20a%20state,by%20far%20the%20most%20widespread.
• Binge eating is when you eat a large amount of food in a short amount of time and feel you can’t control what or how much you are eating. If you binge eat regularly—at least once a week for 3 months—you may have binge eating disorder. https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/weight-management/binge-eating-disorder/definition-facts
• Chronic hunger designates a state of long-term undernourishment. The body absorbs less food than it needs. Although the media mostly report on acute hunger crises, globally, chronic hunger is by far the most widespread. It usually arises in connection with poverty. Chronically hungry people do not have sufficient money for healthy nutrition, clean water or health care. https://www.welthungerhilfe.org/hunger#:~:text=Chronic%20hunger%20designates%20a%20state,by%20far%20the%20most%20widespread.
• Disordered eating is used to describe a range of irregular eating behaviors that may or may not warrant a diagnosis of a specific eating disorder. Eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, or AN, or bulimia nervosa, or BN, are diagnosed according to specific and narrow criteria. This excludes a majority of people suffering with disordered eating. https://www.eatright.org/health/health-conditions/eating-disorders/what-is-disordered-eating
• Eating disorders are behavioral conditions characterized by severe and persistent disturbance in eating behaviors and associated distressing thoughts and emotions. They can be very serious conditions affecting physical, psychological and social function. Types of eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, avoidant restrictive food intake disorder, other specified feeding and eating disorder, pica and rumination disorder. https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/eating-disorders/what-are-eating-disorders
• Food hoarding describes the tendency to collect, store, or steal food. When possible, food hoarders often gather more food than they or their families reasonably need, and these individuals also sometimes have difficulty throwing away expired foods or spoiled items. https://www.eatingdisorderhope.com/blog/starvation-trauma-and-food-hoarding#:~:text=What%20is%20Food%20Hoarding%3F,expired%20foods%20or%20spoiled%20items.
• Food insecurity – https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nutrition-assistance/food-security-in-the-u-s/definitions-of-food-security/
  • Low food security (old label = Food insecurity without hunger): reports of reduced quality, variety, or desirability of diet. Little or no indication of reduced food intake.
  • Very low food security (old label = Food insecurity with hunger): reports of multiple indications of disrupted eating patterns and reduced food intake.
• Food security – https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nutrition-assistance/food-security-in-the-u-s/definitions-of-food-security/
  • High food security (old label = Food security): no reported indications of food-access problems or limitations.
  • Marginal food security (old label = Food security): one or two reported indications—typically of anxiety over food sufficiency or shortage of food in the house. Little or no indication of changes in diets or food intake.
• Hidden hunger is a form of chronic hunger. Due to an unbalanced diet, important nutrients are lacking, such as iron, iodine, zinc or vitamin A. At first glance, the consequences are not necessarily very visible, but over the long-term these nutrient deficiencies lead to serious diseases. In particular, children are unable to develop correctly, neither mentally nor physically. The risk of death is high. Hidden hunger not only harms individuals, but can inhibit the overall development of an affected region, as the efficiency and health of people decreases. https://www.welthungerhilfe.org/hunger#:~:text=Chronic%20hunger%20designates%20a%20state,by%20far%20the%20most%20widespread.
• Homeostatic eating is eating in response to a perceived energy need by the brain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp2p4TdLn_8 
  
• Hunger is an individual-level physiological condition that may result from food insecurity. https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nutrition-assistance/food-security-in-the-u-s/definitions-of-food-security/
• Non-homeostatic eating is very simply is eating for reasons other than energy needs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp2p4TdLn_8

• Lexend Fonts: In 1999, as an educational therapist, Dr. Bonnie Shaver-Troup, working with clients, began observing that reading issues masked the individual’s true capability and intelligence. In 2000, Bonnie theorized that reading performance would improve through use of:
  • A sans-serif font to reduce cognitive noise
  • Expanded scaling to improve potential for character recognition
  • Hyper-expansion of character spacing, which creates a greater lag time and reduces potential crowding and masking effects

These changes led to the development of seven specially-designed fonts, which create an immediate improvement in reading performance. https://www.lexend.com/

  • After earning her doctoral degree from Long Island University’s Post Campus and completing an internship at The Karen Horney Clinic, Dr. Alexis Conason completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the New York Obesity Nutrition Research Center at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital (now Mount Sinai Morningside) in affiliation with Columbia University. In this capacity, Dr. Conason worked closely with the Center for Bariatric Surgery at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital as part of the treatment team conducting preoperative psychological evaluations, designing treatment plans, and leading support groups. While she initially entered into this position with the intention of gleaning knowledge to help others lose weight, she shifted to a weight-inclusive, Health At Every Size stance after being presented with a great deal of evidence that intentional weight loss doesn’t work and is harmful. Dr. Conaon’s research focused on psychological outcomes following bariatric weight loss surgery (WLS). Her groundbreaking dissertation research on substance use following WLS was one of the first studies to document an increased risk of alcohol use following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery; now a widely-recognized phenomenon. Her research was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Surgery and has been cited hundreds of times in peer reviewed articles. https://drconason.com/
