I Think I Have an Eating Disorder

This week, Steven opens up like never before — sharing his deeply personal journey with food, diets, exercise culture, and body dysmorphia. For the first time, he reflects on the realization that his long-held patterns and thoughts around eating may actually mirror the behaviors of an eating disorder.

Steven unpacks the “ah-ha” moment that pushed him to finally seek help and traces back to where it all began. He also discusses the unique pressures around body image within the gay community, and the constant stress that comes with trying to meet unrealistic standards. He explores how we can start changing the way we speak to ourselves — shifting self-talk into something more compassionate, and learning how to rewire our brains to build a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food, fitness, and our bodies.

Trigger warning: This episode includes open discussions about eating disorders and body image.
