    Orthorexia and Blood Glucose Tracking - Craig Lee

    Disclaimer - In this episode we talk about disordered relationships with eating, exercise and body image, including a lot of tracking behaviours. In this episode of the MyoMinds Podcast, George is talking with Craig Lee. Craig is a Counsellor and Psychotherapist in private practice, specialising in eating disorders and body image issues. He has 18 years’ of experience working across behaviour change and mental health services in the NHS, private healthcare, and charity sectors. Having recovered from an eating disorder and body dysmorphia himself, Craig is committed to delivering compassionate, effective, individualised treatment. His approach is underpinned by seeing recovery as being about so much more than just symptom reduction, with a focus in helping his clients to live a life of meaning and purpose. Craig and George spoke all about Orthorexia, and how the fitness community unnecessarily focuses on 'optimisation'. We also share a love for the philosopher Viktor Frankl so we nerd out about him and the importance of 'meaning'. Devil's Advocate Question: For those who want to optimise their fitness and health goals, blood glucose and diet monitoring sounds like the right option. Don’t you think you are just demonising something that is helping people become their ‘best self’?

    Appearance Matters Conference 2024 - Poster Podcast

    Hello all! I have something a bit different to the usual podcasts today. I am at the Appearance Matters Conference 2024 (June 11-13) presenting a poster about my first PhD study titled: Men's Formal Help-Seeking for Eating and/or Body Image Pathology: A Systematic Review of Barriers and Facilitators. - (Catchy, right?) A link to this podcast is in a QR code on the poster so we should be joined by some academics from the conference (welcome!) who can learn a bit more about the study here if they didn't get the chance to ask me at the conference or just wanted to hear more. I have also done my best to make this interesting for the regular MyoMinds listeners so I hope you enjoy too! Here are some timestamps for those interested in particular sections: Rational, aims, and defining terms: 03:15 Methods: 10:03 Results: 14:47 Findings and Recommendations: 23:03 Outro with thanks: 33:21 I would love to hear your thoughts on the study and any questions about it!

    The Flourishing Athlete - Matt Davis

    Disclaimer - In this episode we talk about disordered eating, exercise, and body image issues. We also talk about general mental health struggles.

Matt is a Registered Associate Nutritionist and the creator of The Flourishing Athlete; aiming to help athletes and fitness enthusiasts develop a positive relationship with food, body and self. Matt has struggled with his relationship with food and body image in the past and is passionate about helping athletes approach food and their body in a healthy way which supports performance, fitness and wellbeing. Having played elite level sport, been a fitness enthusiast and worked as a personal trainer and nutritionist, Matt promotes a predominantly non-diet, body neutral approach towards sports nutrition, fitness and performance. He believes that this education and support is needed in the sport and fitness space to reduce the prevalence of disordered eating, body image concerns and other risk factors for poor mental wellbeing in this population. Listen to the episode to hear us discuss: What the Flourishing Athlete is.Why Matt decided to set it up.Some of Matt's history with disordered eating, exercise and body image issues.How identity plays a role in the negative sides of fitness.
