In this episode, we're speaking to actress Diana Bermudez about body image and eating disorders.
Around 1.25 million people in the UK suffer with an eating disorder; it's not an issue that seems to be going anywhere.
This is obviously a very sensitive subject matter, and not one Diana or I took lightly as both of us are eating disorder survivors.
Here, we discuss what it's like to suffer with an eating disorder and how to re-connect with your body after. For Diana, she has the added pressure of working as an actress in an industry where looks are everything. Her most recent appearance was as the spectacular Yatzil in the Marvel series 'Moonlight'.
Diana is Colombian, and we delve into how body shape (specifically for women) is a prominent factor in self worth in Colombian and Latino culture.
This is the first time Diana has spoken about her body image and eating disorder experience, so I'm truly honoured to have been able to facilitate it.
