In this powerful episode, we’re joined by Daniel Magson, CEO of First Steps ED. Daniel shares his lived experience with bulimia, including how he was dismissed by a GP at 17, told that “boys don’t get eating disorders,” and left to struggle in silence.

Years later, Daniel is using his experience to lead national change, proving how lived experience can shape more compassionate, accessible, and person-led support.

What we cover:

  • Bulimia stigma and being invalidated by doctors
  • Living in secrecy and the impact of shame
  • Sexuality and its intersection with eating disorder experiences
  • Inner child work and the power of therapy in healing
  • Daniel’s role as CEO and the mission of First Steps ED
  • The importance of storytelling and peer-led support

Timestamps:

05:30 – Living with bulimia as a teenage boy

12:00 – Being dismissed by a GP and hiding in secrecy

20:00 – Shame, identity, and the impact of silence

30:00 – Recovery, therapy, and connecting with his inner child

34:00 – First Steps ED and why lived experience matters
