Doris Smeltzer, author of “Andrea’s Voice: Silenced by Bulimia,” hosts Savor Yourself ... Beyond Skin Deep, an Internet radio show premiering on VoiceAmerica  Jan. 21.

According to a press release, Savor Yourself addresses the issues of a “one-size fits all world” through personal story and interviews with researchers, therapists and experts in the field of eating disorders, nutrition, and body image .
This host’s 19-year-old daughter, Andrea, died of bulimia. Smeltzer said,  “You would not be listening to me today if it were not for all that I have learned because of Andrea … hence it is only right that she play a vital role in this show.”

Smeltzer explains how Andrea, who died eight years ago, even helped determine the title of the show, through one of the poems she wrote near the end of her life.
The first guest on Savor Yourself is Mary Ellen Clausen, executive director of Ophelia’s Place, an eating disorder resource center in Liverpool, N.Y. Clausen, an innovative leader in eating disorder prevention, education and advocacy,  shares the story of her two daughters’ struggle with eating disordered behaviors.

Savor Yourself…Beyond Skin Deep can be heard Mondays at 1 p.m. on the Internet Radio Link at AndreasVoice.org or VoiceAmerica.com beginning Jan. 21.  The show is rebroadcast 12 hours later (at 1 a.m. on Tuesdays) and each show is archived within 24 hours for on-demand listening.
