Men Unscripted is a podcast where men share their body story. The key thing is that each participant is using an alias, so they will remain anonymous, so the conversations are vulnerable and honest. In this episode, William joins the show to share his story. He experienced weight stigma at an early age, and it contributed to his diving into diet culture. Dieting and the praise for being thin impacted the development of his eating disorder. William shares how his eating disorder went undiagnosed for years because most people do not know what Orthorexia is. He also shared what it's like for men to seek treatment, especially during COVID. Lastly, he talks about how his experience with self-compassion opened the door to his healing.
