Men, Muscles, Exercise, & Eating Disorder Stigmas With George Mycock, MSc @myo_minds

George Mycock of @myo_minds is talking about his SECOND WAVE of research on men, eating disorders, exercise, and muscularity-oriented issues. In a lively discussion, George and I explore how many eating disorder treatment centers' websites and materials are geared toward women and girls, and how that might lead men and boys to feel hesitant to reach out for help, when they desperately need it. He shared how he is training treatment centers and psychiatrist alike on the insidious nature of muscularity-oriented issues and eating disorders in boys and men.
