From Silent Struggles to Hope: CEO Daniel Magson Shares His Story on Full of Beans Podcast

We’re proud to share that First Steps ED CEO, Daniel Magson, recently joined the Full of Beans podcast to speak candidly about his personal journey with bulimia, and how it led him to become a passionate advocate for eating disorder recovery and support.

In this powerful episode, titled “From Silent Struggles with Bulimia to Supporting Others” , Daniel opens up about the barriers he faced accessing treatment as a young man, the stigma around male eating disorders, and how his lived experience now drives his leadership at First Steps ED.

Daniel said:

“I didn’t see anyone who looked like me speaking about bulimia. That silence kept me unwell for longer.”

Listeners will gain honest insights into:

  • The importance of early intervention and inclusive support.
  • How Daniel’s experience shaped his mission at First Steps ED.
  • Why community-based and peer-led services are vital for recovery.

We encourage everyone to listen to the episode and share it with someone who might need to hear it. Daniel’s story is a reminder that recovery is possible – and that nobody should face an eating disorder alone.
