Paige Gordon

Paige Gordon is a writer, advocate, and women’s commissioner whose work lives at the intersection of memoir and systemic disruption. After a twenty-year battle with bulimia, she experienced an unexpected and life-altering remission of symptoms after starting a GLP-1 RA medication, a discovery that led her to confront the medical field’s long-standing neglect of eating disorder research.
Drawing on her lived experience, Paige now champions large-scale, biologically informed studies that reframe eating disorders as neurobiological conditions rather than moral failures. She serves on the Santa Cruz County Women’s Commission, where she advocates for healthcare equity and gender-informed policy reform.
Her debut memoir, Searching for Full: How GLP-1s Changed My Eating Disordered Life, is a darkly funny, unflinchingly honest exploration of shame, survival, and the radical act of telling the truth.
Paige lives in California with her partner, two children, and a codependent Saintberdoodle named Marble. When she’s not writing or pushing for systemic change, she can usually be found roller skating along the coast, playing at the beach, or sitting quietly somewhere trying to make sense of all of it.
