              • Do men struggle with food and body image? with Aaron Flores RDN

                We often hear clients ask "do you have any good accounts for men who struggle with food?" In today's episode Registered Dietitian Nutritionists Dalina Soto and Melissa Landry interview fellow Dietitian Aaron Flores, RDN for his perspective on "bro culture", the danger of assuming all men's experiences with body image are the same (they're not), and how diet culture hurts all genders.

                In today’s episode we discuss:

                • do men worry about dieting and body image as much as women? what unique pressures are men facing from diet culture?
                • how do we help boys and men experience positive body image? Is it different from other gender expressions?
                • partner dynamics across all genders: what do you do if your partner doesn't get why your ditching diets? what if one person wants weight loss surgery and the other believes in intuitive eating? How can you be more sensitive to your partner's experience around food and body image, especially if you are in a smaller body than they are and don't face the same societal pressure to lose weight?

                      • How toxic positivity does more harm than good with Mimi Cole

                        Toxic positivity, or stifling negative emotions for the sake of "good vibes only" often does more harm than good. Instead, we show you how to use negative emotions for what they are: signals pointing to your needs and wants.
