One way to support those struggling with Bulimia and other eating disorders, is to start listening to their perspective, thus encouraging an open dialogue free from the stigmas often associated with mental illness.

If you feel inclined to make a monetary donation, we suggest The Looking Glass Foundation in Vancouver, BC. The Looking Glass “is a caring community of prevention and support for those suffering from anorexia, bulimia, and other eating disorders — and those who love them.

Kye Plant has 1 hour conversations with a different person every episode about taboo and stigmatized subjects (mental health [OCD, Bipolar, ADHD, BPD, Depression, Anxiety] PTSD, illness, gender, sexuality, etc) in order to make listeners feel LESS WEIRD and less alone.

Janet breaks down misconceptions about bulimia.  She also talks about body positive instagram accounts, fatphobia, body-shaming, diet culture, breaking down “good” and “bad” food, the concept of ‘health’, adults as role models for children, 12-step programs, recovery and SO much more!
