This month we chat to Dr George Mycock from MyoMinds who has a personal interest in how eating disorders affect men.

Join us for this free, 30-minute lunchtime webinar where members of the tastelife team are joined by Dr George Mycock from MyoMinds who will share his own experience of an eating disorder and how he recovered.

In this 30-minute lunchtime webinar, we’ll explore questions such as:

• Do eating disorders affect men differently from women?
• What might an eating disorder look like in a teenage boy or man?
• Why can eating disorders in men be difficult to recognise?
• How can masculinity, body image and exercise influence eating disorders?
• Why might men be reluctant to seek help?
• And what can we learn from George’s own experience of having an eating disorder?

George is a researcher who works across the university of Exeter and university of Worcester. George’s research spans eating, exercise, and body image concerns, and general mental health concerns. He has a particular interest in men’s eating disorders, with his own lived experience. He has spoken about these topics on BBC news, Sky news, and Ladbible, and has featured in numerous magazines and newspapers.

We look forward to welcoming you for what promises to be an informative and thought-provoking conversation.

This podcast-style webinar is suitable for anyone aged 16+.

There will be an opportunity to ask questions via chat once the discussion has finished at around 1pm.
