Hi Navigators! We're excited to welcome back to the podcast Andrew Walen, a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, mental health advocate, author, and public speaker. Andrew is an expert in the field of treating males with eating disorders, and recently opened a private practice called D.U.D.E. Mental Health, focused on supporting men break down the barriers which make seeking treatment scary. In this conversation, he discusses the latest research on muscle dysmorphia, the increase in performance enhancing drugs as a means to manipulate body aesthetic, how social media may influence perspective on body and self, and what surprised him the most about facilitating an all-male support group. We were grateful to have his expertise, insights, and vulnerability on the podcast. Enjoy the listen!
