When we think about body image problems, eating disorders, and food management issues, our minds typically, turn to matters concerning women. My guest, Dan Lewin, is an accomplished dietitian and founder of The Men's Health Dietitian, an amazing service, dedicated to supporting men with food, eating and body image concerns. He's speaking with me, about these often hidden and alarmingly dismissed men’s issues, disclosing his own long and difficult journey to self acceptance and better health. Dan will also share some insights and tools around his helping philosophy which is grounded in a weight neutral non-diet approach, supporting men to develop a positive relationship with food and body. Remember, "It's OK to not be OK".

Susan Cooper, General Manager of Entertainment Assist joined me to talk about their dedication to raising awareness around mental health in the Australian entertainment industry.

Entertainment Assist are a national health promotion charity that strives for much needed change, commissioning research, advocating for workplace and educational transformation and identifying support pathways for those in distress.
