50. Sexual Attraction to Men Is A Risk Factor for Eating Disorders?


Listen Later

Have you even felt like you wouldn't struggle with your body image as much if men simply weren't in the picture? We've all been there. I'm sure we've all experienced the pressures of wanting to look our best for that guy we have a crush on. Well, science has officially come out with a study to show that you're not alone in feeling this way. This week we're taking a dive into a fascinating research article that draws a connection between attraction to men and increased rates of eating disorders. I'm here to walk you through this spicy article and talk about what this means for you and your ED if you happen to love men.

We go over:

  • The deets of the study that is trying to prove the connection between being attracted to men & EDs
  • The results from the study and whether they found this to be conclusive (or not)
  • Mallory getting vulnerable and sharing an experience (that she's never shared before) on this topic
  • What to take away from this study
  •
