Shoulders Down

đź’Ş Bro Science & Diet Culture in the Male Community with Chris Irish


Listen Later

This week we are joined by Chris Irish, a fellow anti-diet dietitian. In this episode, we discuss:

  • Chris’s story with his relationship with food and body
  • Chris’s unlikely journey into the dietetics career path
  • How studying to become a dietitian changed Chris’s relationship with food
  • Common “bro science” myths and the danger of taking advice from  other people's anecdotal experiences 
  • Why so many men are obsessed with protein
  • The unique ways in which body image struggles manifest amongst the male community  and how Chris helps clients through these struggles
  • Why college creates the “perfect storm” for disordered eating behaviors  

Before diving into this week's guest interview, I answer a listener question on how to navigate diet culture comments coming from loved ones. Click here to download the FREE resource I mention while answering the listener question.
