Published on: 2nd March, 2021

Please remember that no episode of the MyoMinds podcast can be used as a replacement for medical advice and/or care.

This episode is a special edition for Eating Disorder Awareness Week 2021. I am joined by author, award winning mental health campaigner and public speaker Hope Virgo as well as specialist CAMHS nurse, with 25 years of experience in eating disorder services, Mark Taylor.

We talk about all things eating disorder: personal experiences, the positives and negatives of services for people with eating disorders, the issues with government movements towards obesity, what to do if you want help for an eating disorder and what people who work in exercise/sport can do to help people with eating disorders.

This really is an episode for anybody and everybody who is interested in eating disorders.
