This week, comedian, presenter and Off Menu co-host Ed Gamble joins us for a candid conversation about living with Type 1 diabetes, navigating body image, and learning to let go of the pressure to do health perfectly.
Diagnosed at 13, Ed has spent more than 25 years managing a chronic condition he describes as "like having another job" - constantly balancing blood sugar levels, food, exercise, stress and the unpredictability of everyday life. But our conversation goes far beyond diabetes. We discuss the emotional relationship many of us have with food, the rise of wellness culture and health tracking, male body image, social media pressures, and why perfection can be one of the biggest barriers to wellbeing.
