In today's episode, we interview an eating disorder advocate for men, William Hornby. He has been creating insightful, informative, and often very endearing and funny content on TikTok and IG Reels that has been building awareness for men who are struggling with Eating Disorders. After not being able to find much support online for himself, through his recovery journey he has become who he wished he had when he was struggling the most!

Topics we cover:

• men and eating disorders
• asking for help and not downplaying what you are struggling with
• the gay community and sexuality
• finding worth in your appearance
• the pressure to look a certain way in performance industries like dancing, singing and acting
• how diet culture and eating disorder culture overlap
• the influence of misogyny, capitalism, and racism
• discrimination in recovery and health care treatment

AND SO MUCH MORE!
