In this podcast Tabitha talks to B, a guy who totally didn’t have anorexia … but probably did! B thought of himself as a normal guy, doing normal things: obsessively tracking calories, running absurd distances, and hiding in closets to avoid being invited to lunch. After an incident involving a blog post, evolutionary biology, and a semi-anonymous e-mail exchange, he did the normal thing: he researched and wrote a guide on anorexia recovery, and then started following it.

Hi Tabitha, I don’t know where you find all these brilliant people, but this is great thanks
You can’t hear your voice in the interview ?
Excellent interview Tabitha…Fascinating reflections/observations from “B”…and yourself. Bravo. Proof positive that past and current anorexic sufferers are some of the most brilliant, insightful human beings!
I really appreciate that you interview people with a wider range of gender identities than are portrayed in most resources for eating disorder recovery. For guys (like me) recovering from an eating disorder, this is really helpful and refreshing. I’m tired of only seeing content that says “You’re beautiful inside and out” and I couldn’t care less about “swimsuit season.” What do you think can be down to break down stereotypes about who gets anorexia?
