A Thing Most Men Won’t Talk About | Aaron Flores

Apr 25, 2022

Why is it that many men seem unenthusiastic about discussing body image issues?

We take a deep dive into this topic with Aaron Flores, a Los Angeles-based registered dietician and nutritionist, and one of the few men very active in the space of intuitive eating. Aaron talks about how capitalism ties our weight to our worthiness, and his notion that “our body is not a project.”

In this episode we also discuss:

What intuitive eating is
How men experience body image issues, and why they often don’t talk about it
The relationship between diet culture and capitalism
What “health at every size” means and why it’s sometimes controversial
Guidelines for parents
The role of self-compassion when it comes to food
