Podcast appearances and mentions of danny bowman

In episode 266 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked back in with two of our favourite guests, Danny Bowman and George Mycock. Danny and George both work in the mental health space around eating disorders, specifically Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). Danny has come on twice, in JCIP #70 and JCIP #209 respectively. He is currently in the final stages of completing a PHD at the University of Liverpool. He also previously stood as the Conservative Parliamentary candidate for Liverpool Garston in the 2024 General Election, is the Head of Communications at The Conservative Mental Health Group and a Fellow at The Royal Society of Arts. George is the Founder of MyoMinds, a platform which aims to bring awareness of a form of BDD called Muscle Dysmorphia (MD), demystify mental health for exercisers and athletes and to create an understanding future for the exercising community. He is also currently studying for a PHD at the University of Worcester, study muscularity oriented psychosocial issues in men. We wanted to get them both back on to have a different type of episode and one which we hope can be a blueprint for how to address an ED, treat it and recover from it. We also sprinkle in some ideas about how we can improve the conversation and the system to support those living with EDs. We will navigate this episode through three stages of an eating disorder: what it is and what it looks like, the treatment path and the recovery stage. There are not enough positive recovery stories out there and Danny and George are shining lights in how one can navigate these stages and help others at the end of it.

In episode 228 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with George Mycock. George is the Founder of MyoMinds and a mental health advocate for awareness of Muscle Dysmorphia (MD). MyoMinds mission is to demystify mental health for exercisers and athletes and to create an understanding future for the exercising community. Through research, public talks and their podcast, they work with universities, schools and other public institutions to change the conversation around Muscle Dysmorphia. In this episode we discuss George's experience of Muscle Dysmorphia, which some listeners may know by the term ‘bigorexia'. Muscle Dysmorphia is a form of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), which is defined by: “Being preoccupied by worries that one's body is “too small” or “not muscular enough” despite having a normal build, or in many cases, an objectively extremely “buff” physique.” It can cause the person to create obsessive rituals, behaviours and a mindset that can cause serious psychological distress. In its most extreme form, it can also put that person in extreme danger physically and mentally. George began experiencing MD after he suffered a spinal injury when he was 13 whilst he was playing rugby, a sport he loved and which he had built his identity around. He was told never to play rugby again and was signed off school for a year. After he returned, he suffered an identity crisis and began exercising and bodybuilding heavily in order to rebuild his identity. Unfortunately, through this, he developed MD (which hasn't been officially diagnosed) and eventually got to the point where he became suicidal and was only saved because by a coincidental miracle. One of his best friends happened to visit his house and she supported him, listened to him and encouraged him to seek professional support. He did that, worked through the issues the MD had given him and has now changed his life, founded MyoMinds and has done some brilliant advocacy work. This includes participating in a LadBible roundtable on Eating Disorders, which included friend of the pod Danny Bowman, Miles Nazaire's Channel 4 documentary on muscle dysmorphia and many other pieces of work. In this episode we discuss his mental health journey, from avid rugby player, to obsessive bodybuilder and now mental health advocate, how he built his self-esteem pyramid through therapy, what ‘vulnerable narcissism' is and how we can spot the signs that someone may be experiencing muscle dysmorphia.

In episode 209 of The Just Checking In Podcast, we checked back in with mental health advocate Danny Bowman. Danny is currently a PHD student and researcher at the University of Liverpool, Research Lead and Head of Communications at The Conservative Mental Health Group and a Fellow at The Royal Society of Arts. We first checked in with Danny in JCIP #70 where we discussed his Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), the distress and eventual suicidality that brought him and how he managed to recover from it. In this episode we check back in about his mental health journey, including: a discussion around his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) which he was diagnosed with prior to developing the BDD, his recovery journey and how he tries to manage advocacy work, his PHD studies and general life alongside his mental health. We also discuss the recent LadBible roundtable on Body Dysmorphia which he took part in, the issues he discussed and taking part in the Great North Run to raise money for mental health charity 'Rethink Mental Illness'.

In episode 2 we discuss the annual 8am Norae-bang / Soju bus from Cheongju to Busan, trying to wear normal hiking boots while skiing and Korean music festivals. We also talk being a nuisance on the beach, Jeju-Do as a national source of pride and the inbuilt speaker system / nuclear announcement telecom in apartment buildings. Again, something for everyone. Get on it.

With Josh away on holiday this week, we welcome a big Cheongju personality to the pod in the shape of Danny Bowman. In episode 1 we cover Danny making one of the most pivotal decisions of his life whilst sitting on the throne, his first week spent shacked up in a love motel and equatorial lizards. We also discuss the Korean phenomenon of ‘powering through', having no worries as a foreigner in Korea and Danny's love of a (literal) bell as a discipline method. Again, something for everyone. Get on it.

Recently, I sat down with Suzanne Samaka (founder of #HonestyAboutEditing campaign), Danny Bowman (mental health advocate) and Daniel Magson (chair of Anorexia and Bulimia Care) to discuss body imaging, how images are edited online and in the printed press, and eating disorders.

Danny Bowman - a mental health campaigner - engages in a variety of feel-good activities that help him unwind.

In the seventieth episode of The Just Checking In Podcast, we checked in with mental health advocate and campaigner, Danny Bowman. Danny is the Campaign Head for mental health policy at think-tank Parliament Street and the Vice-Chair of male eating disorder charity, Male Voice ED. Danny has been on a rollercoaster journey with his mental health but is testament to how anyone, with the right support and with the right amount of bravery, courage and determination can overcome the toughest of mental health challenges. Self-confidence, anxiety, the perils of social media and a body disorder that Danny lives with known as Body Dysmorphic Disorder or BDD are on the menu for today's show.
