Episode description
We're talking about eating disorders again this week. Bulimia nervosa and a little bit specifically on bulimia in men.
We'll cover the history behind this eating disorder, what it is, what impact it has, signs, symptoms, what recovery is like and I also added some guidance on how to help someone else if you think they are dealing with bulimia or any eating disorder for that matter.
