Kristina Saffran

As a teenager growing up outside New York City, Kristina founded Project Heal—now the largest grassroots eating disorder nonprofit in the U.S. She earned a psychology degree from Harvard and then, after overcoming her own health challenges, founded Equip to improve care for people with eating disorders. Equip has grown to be America’s largest provider of virtual, evidence-based eating disorder treatments. The company connects patients and their families with therapists, dietitians, and physicians—providers trained to treat not only all eating disorder diagnoses, but also co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, and OCD—and offers a wide range of support groups.
