98: A Male Perspective on Eating Disorders

We often think of eating disorders and other food issues as a young, white female issue and neglect the many, many men who struggle with various forms of disordered eating and eating disorders. In this episode, we talk with Andrew Walen, LCSW-C and author of the book Man Up to Eating Disorders about his personal experiences as well as his wisdom as an eating disorder therapist and owner of the Body Image Therapy Center. Men struggle too, and this episode aims to provide a tribe and community for men who suffer from eating disorders and disordered eating patterns.
