Stories of Illness, Hope and Recovery from Diverse Voices
This honest collection directly confronts stereotypes and misconceptions about what eating disorders look like and who they impact. Tapping into sources of expert knowledge throughout, the accounts showcase how you can begin to understand your own journey of body acceptance and recovery and support those struggling in silence.

Eating disorders know no boundaries. They don't discriminate.

Every story of living with an eating disorder is unique. Eating Disorders Don't Discriminate brings together thirty-one of them, each tackling the stereotypes and misconceptions about what eating disorders look like and who they impact.
Athletes, activists, directors, models, health professionals, and more share their experiences of eating disorders, including binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, ARFID and OSFED, and highlight the complexities of how race, gender, culture and social media can influence our experiences of body and food.
Compiled by Dr Chuks Nwuba, who has cared for some of the UK's most unwell eating disorder patients, and TikToker and eating disorder advocate Bailey Spinn, this stirring anthology is one of hope and encouragement for anyone who feels misunderstood and underrepresented.
