PhD Candidate, Nutritionist and Eating Disorder Advocate
Jennifer Hamer
Jennifer Hamer is a current PhD candidate at Griffith University in the field of Eating Disorders in athletes. Prior to this she completed her master’s degree in Eating Disorders and Clinical Nutrition. Jennifer’s passion for this area is driven by her own harrowing journey of a 17-year battle with an eating disorder, which robbed her of a career as a professional athlete and almost took her life. Yet Jennifer decided to make the bravest and courageous decision and chose recovery. Jennifer does not see this experience as something to be sad about, she sees it as something to be grateful for because it enlightened her to seek her truth, her purpose, which is to now inspire, educate and provide hope to those who may be suffering from eating disorders, disordered eating or issues around body image. Jennifer is a passionate eating disorder ambassador and advocate, inspiring others to break free from their eating disorder, creating a storm to break down diet culture and to help women see themselves for who they truly are, not what they have been led to believe. Jennifer uses both her personal experience and expertise as an academic to support you on your own journey to recovery.

Do I need to consult a healthcare practitioner before enrolling?
If you have a diagnosed eating disorder or you think you may be suffering from an eating disorder, it is important that you talk to your GP as there are many physical complications that can arise from purging, losing weight very quickly or being at an unhealthy low weight. Please seek professional support and speak with your treatment team about whether the course is appropriate for you during this part of your recovery journey.
