Ep 281 A Real, Honest Talk About Men, Body Pressure, and the Path to Recovery With Eric Pothen
Episode 281
Thursday, 9 April, 2026
In this powerful episode, Dr. Cristina Castagnini sits down with Eric Pothen to shine a light on the often-invisible struggle of eating disorders in men. For too long, societal stigmas and the "wellness" industry have allowed disordered behaviors in men to slip through the cracks, masked as fitness goals or masculine ideals. Eric shares his personal journey from struggling with an eating disorder to becoming a recovery coach, offering professional insight into the dangerous normalization of compulsive exercise and the "lean muscular ideal." Whether you are a man questioning your relationship with fitness or a loved one seeking to understand these complex dynamics, this conversation provides the validation and tools needed to challenge the "sick enough" myth and embrace a life of authentic recovery.
