Ep 020: Ryan Sheldon & Eating Disorder Awareness "You Can Eat With Us" with Libre Connections

Welcome back to Season 2 of the "You Can Eat With Us" Podcast!

We're right on the heels of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, and our first guest is an outspoken advocate for ED screening, treatment, and support in recovery. Join us for a conversation with Ryan Sheldon as we chat about his experience with binge eating disorder (BED).

A motivational speaker and brawn model, Ryan has been educating audiences about body image and BED since his own diagnosis in 2015. Passionate about raising awareness of binge eating and body image issues as an Ambassador for the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), he has shared his story with the Today Show, Huffington Post, and Teen Vogue, among other outlets. An LGBTQ+ man living in a larger body, Ryan also speaks to teens about masculinity, identity, and body confidence. He is currently working on a book about his and other men's experiences learning to eat mindfully and love themselves just as they are.
