Registered dietitian Aaron Flores joins us to discuss why Andrew Huberman and other biohacking wellness bros have such massive appeal, and how their rhetoric can lead to disordered eating and body-image distress. In a deeper dive for paid subscribers, we get into how to talk to partners or loved ones who’ve come under the sway of bro-wellness culture—and how to set boundaries when their diet/fitness talk challenges our recovery from disordered eating. We also get vulnerable about mortality, grief, and why it’s so hard to confront aging and death head-on, and Christy shares an unexpected response to a past interview on the pod.
