"Ben"

Season 2 Episode 6

Men Unscripted is a podcast where men join host Aaron Flores to share their experiences of living in their bodies and their relationships with food. All conversations are anonymous, and each participant uses an alias in the hopes that their anonymity will allow them to be as vulnerable as possible. Ben’s story is one that is so common with folks to experience eating disorders. His eating disorder took off after he dove headfirst into diet culture and started to focus on his body size. He discusses how the privilege of having a smaller body translates to a more intense focus on food. He also discusses how COVID-19 has impacted his experience. Lastly, he shares what helped him find some healing and the perspective he has gained since achieving recovery.
