Body Image and Eating Concerns in Men w/ Aaron Flores
Friday, 16 May, 2025
In this episode of Mind Your Fitness, we are joined by Aaron Flores, a registered dietitian and host of the podcast Men Unscripted, for a compelling conversation on the intersections of eating disorders, diet culture, and the male experience. Aaron shares his journey as a dietitian healing his own relationship with food/body and how unlearning traditional nutrition training helped him adopt a weight-inclusive, intuitive eating approach to support other men. He joins us to unpack how modern masculinity, performance culture, and diet trends intersect in harmful ways. From teen boys chasing gym gains to tech bros obsessed with fasting and supplements, this episode challenges how we define "health" for men. The conversation also dives into under-discussed topics like low testosterone from restrictive eating, how male libido can signal nutritional imbalance, and the gaps in identifying and supporting those men struggling with body image and/or disordered eating concerns. A must-listen for clinicians, parents, and anyone supporting men on their wellness journey. Aaron Flores is Los Angeles-based registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN), Certified Body Trust® Provider, and one of the few men very active in the space of intuitive eating. Aaron is a true trailblazer with his podcast Men Unscripted, where he holds conversations that give insight into the struggles that men experience when it comes to their body, food, and fitness. He has been featured in the New York Times, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, and on the 10% Happier Podcast.
