About Mind Your Fitness

What does the word fitness mean to you? For many years we've seen the word "fit" used to describe the thin, athletic ideals paired with enhanced physical performance. When in reality true metrics of fitness have nothing to do with appearance. As certified sports dietitians, lovers of exercise, and diet-haters, we're on a mission to help people realize that fitness, health, and peak performance isn't one size fits all. If you're a high-level athlete, weekend warrior, coach, or everyday fitness fanatic and have ever come face-to-face with diet culture or unrealistic body ideals, this podcast is for you. We're here to set the record straight on what it takes to be "fit" and reclaim the word fitness once and for all, all while helping you optimize your health, performance, and confidence in your body! Collectively we have over 25 years experience as dietitians and have helped thousands of athletes and active individuals bring their performance to the next level while also prioritizing a healthy relationship with food and their bodies. In this podcast, we'll cover topics on anything from non-diet nutrition, sports nutrition, intuitive eating, health at every size, relative energy deficiency in sport, eating disorders, and so much more.

   Body Image and Eating Concerns in Men w/ Aaron Flores

   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.
