CONTENT WARNING. The topic is eating disorders, and throughout the podcast, our guest will talk about their lived experiences, as well as signposting to charities for support. Please visit your healthcare provider if you are concerned about any issues relating to this topic. Undiagnosed autism and ADHD have played a part in Adam developing an eating disorder at secondary school. He battled through excruciating pain until the point of becoming hospitalised and, as a result, being left irreparably physically damaged. During the conversation, Adam shares his journey of recovery. He talks us through the different types of eating disorders and how they present. We also cover the dangers of diet culture, societal pressures, stigma and shame. Adam has a stoma as a result of severe intestinal issues and a prolapsed bowel, as well as musculoskeletal syndrome, all of which leave him with chronic pain and fatigue.
