Best Podcast of 2021

This is the best podcast I have found this year.
Marcus has a refreshing an honest approach to disordered eating and nutrition. He marries science with a holistic understanding of the human psyche, and a genuine compassion for the individualities of our minds. This is no cookie cutter stuff you’ve heard before.
So many aha moments in these episodes already! You might want to grab a pen and notepad before you press play.

A brutally honest look at male body image and the effects on mental/physical wellbeing

The Author explores body image and the effects on mental/physical wellbeing from a male view point. Topics that are often not discussed and swept under the carpet, Marcus blows the conversation wide open in an insightful, personal and constructive way. This podcast will explain the journey and what tools he learnt to successfully navigate around anxiety, binge eating, obsessive exercise.

A must listen if any of these issues resonate with you, learn new coping mechanisms and tools to be the best version of yourself.
