Eating Disorders | LeechFest Ep 35 Part 1

We're back! We're starting this year strong with a two-parter, about eating disorders no less. In the first section, we go over a few common eating disorder types, epidemiology and potential causes, both genetic and psychosocial. Mia then takes a look at eating disorders in early history, and we talk about how 'disordered eating' is dependent on the current view on 'normal eating' as well as the role that food played in the lives of people of different social classes and of different religious beliefs.

Om Podcasten

Hey! We're Salem (Raluca in the early episodes) and Mia, and we're a medical scientist and a historian who put their brains together to create this medical history podcast! We make content about anything we find interesting that is at the intersection between medicine/ medical science and history, with a queer and/ or social justice flair.Support the show: patreon.com/LeechFestPodcast
