As CEO of the Body Equity Alliance, Turner leads efforts to engage in advocacy and activism, provide education, coaching, navigation and communications, advise best practices, and influence public policy on issues related to eating disorders, weight stigma and weight discrimination, and health equity.

Turner's dedication to public health began when she was part of a team working to ensure cancer patients had ongoing access to critical treatments. Driven by her own struggles and recovery, she founded the Binge Eating Disorder Association (BEDA) to address the unmet needs of people with the most prevalent eating disorder. After 10 years of pioneering work, BEDA merged with the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) in 2018 after noteworthy milestones that included working to add binge eating disorder (BED) to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual’s 5th Edition (DSM-5), developing a national awareness week addressing weight stigma and intersecting oppressions, creating industry-leading educational programming, and public policy work at the state and national levels. More work in the healthcare arena, education around moving past social determinants of health to health equity, and a dedication to healthcare as a human right has prepared her to help clients make important shifts in their own work.
