My Books
My writing sits at the intersection of lived experience and clinical practice. Each book is written to address gaps I have seen repeatedly in both healthcare and culture, especially where LGBTQ+ lives are concerned.
These books explore queer health, body image, and healing with honesty and depth, without judgement or simplification. They are written for people who want understanding rather than fixes, and context rather than prescriptions.
Letting Go of Perfect: A Gay Man’s Guide to Healing from Body Dysmorphia
OUT NOW
Body dysmorphia is rarely spoken about openly, particularly among gay men. Letting Go of Perfect is my most personal work to date, combining lived experience with professional insight to explore how body image, shame, and control develop, and what it takes to loosen their hold.
This book is for anyone who has felt trapped by comparison, performance, or the pressure to be a certain version of themselves. It offers a grounded and compassionate exploration of how healing becomes possible when we stop trying to perfect the body and begin to understand what it has been protecting us from.
You can order Letting Go of Perfect here.
Naked Nutrition
Currently in revision – new edition coming August 2026 as The Queer Guide to Nutrition & Lifestyle
Naked Nutrition was one of the first comprehensive guides to diet and lifestyle written specifically for the LGBTQ+ community. It emerged from clinical practice and the repeated absence of health advice that reflected queer lives, bodies, and realities.
The revised edition, The Queer Guide to Nutrition & Lifestyle, expands and updates this work to reflect current research, broader lived experience, and the evolving landscape of LGBTQ+ health.
The book explores topics including:
Nutrition for weight change and body composition
HIV and long-term health
Sex, libido, and relationships
Transgender health and hormone-related considerations
Mental health, body image, and disordered eating
Addiction, party culture, and recovery
Fertility, family building, and parenting
Since its original publication, Naked Nutrition has helped open conversations often overlooked in mainstream health guidance. This new edition deepens that work, offering a more nuanced, inclusive, and evidence-informed approach to queer health and wellbeing.
