MyoMinds Stories Ep.5 - Ethan Feinstein

Published on: 16th September, 2024

Disclaimer - In this episode we talk about disordered eating, exercise, and body image concerns.

This episode is the fifth episode of our new series that we are calling "MyoMinds Stories" (as an ode to the Stories on our website). These episodes focus on our guest's story, how they want to tell it and what led them to the point where they wanted to tell it here on the pod!

In this episode, George is joined by Ethan Feinstein. Ethan has lived experience with an eating disorder and is proud to continue to share his experiences and journey in navigating recovery from his eating disorder. He hopes that he can raise awareness and emphasize that eating disorders do not discriminate against sex, age, or background. Ethan resides in Brooklyn, NY, and works in the beauty industry.

Ethan shares his story with his experience of an eating disorder, the trials of recovery, and the difficulties of often being the only male person in eating disorder services.
