The interview, featured in the journal Psychedelics, offers an intimate look into Dr. Knatz Peck’s journey from personal struggle with an eating disorder to becoming a leading innovator in the field.
Dr. Knatz Peck’s research uniquely bridges clinical practice with cutting-edge interventions, focusing on the development of novel treatments for anorexia nervosa (AN).
