    *Trigger Warning* This episode includes discussions of suicidal thoughts and internalized fatphobia. If these topics are difficult or unsafe for you to hear at this time, please consider skipping this episode or listening with support. Summary In one of the most vulnerable Men Unscripted conversations yet, Luke opens up about a lifetime of struggling with body image, weight stigma, and self-acceptance. From being teased as a child to the complex intersection of gender, sexuality, and size, Luke shares what it feels like to live in a body that has always been labeled "different." Through moments of humor, honesty, and deep reflection, we talk about how culture teaches us to hate our bodies, how grief shows up in recovery, and what it means to keep going even when the inner critic is loud. Luke's story reminds us that healing isn't about perfection — it's about learning to see yourself with compassion, even when it feels impossible. Key Themes The roots of body shame and early childhood messaging Internalized fat-phobia and learning to unlearn it The emotional toll of diet culture and yo-yo dieting Living with a genetic disorder and navigating masculinity The role of therapy and self-compassion in recovery How creativity, comedy, and community offer moments of connection Resources If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts or an eating disorder, please reach out for help. 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline – Call or text 988 (US) NEDA Helpline – Call or text (800) 931-2237   Links Good Mythical Morning House of the Dragon Uncripted Journey Substack  Your Body Unscripted Online Course 1:1 Coaching with Aaron Men's Group Info Men Unscripted Playlist on Spotify

    Season 3 Episode 10 - "Max"

    Summary In this episode, Aaron Flores interviews Max, a 45-year-old man living in the Midwest, about his struggles with food and body image. Max shares his experiences growing up in a household focused on dieting and the impact it had on his relationship with food. He also discusses the trauma he experienced as a child and how it contributed to his use of food as a coping mechanism. Max highlights the challenges of being a man and discussing these issues, as well as the importance of finding support and engaging in self-care activities like hiking. Keywords body image, food, dieting, trauma, coping mechanism, privilege, masculinity, support, self-care, hiking Takeaways Growing up in a household focused on dieting can have a significant impact on a person's relationship with food and body image. Experiencing trauma as a child can contribute to the development of disordered eating behaviors and the use of food as a coping mechanism. Men often face challenges in discussing their struggles with food and body image due to societal expectations of masculinity. Finding support through therapy, personal trainers, and online communities can be helpful in navigating these issues. Engaging in self-care activities, such as hiking, can provide a sense of peace and healing.
