Bro Science and Diet Culture in the Male Community with Chris Irish

May 31, 2022• byleahk

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
