My only hope is that this is the first brave conversation of many. As Mardi Gras approached, we took a deep dive into the disproportionate rates of Disordered Eating and Body Dysmorphia in the LGBTQIA+ community. It was with this that Chris, one of our Compeat Dietitians, reached out wanting to chat more about this.

As a gay male in a physique focused sport (diving, and previously gymnastics), Chris has lived through a lot when it comes to food and body weight pressures. However, it was the pressure and expectation felt within the gay community to 'look' a certain way for acceptance that shocked him most.

This chat is raw and it is filled with vulnerability that you can sense throughout. For good reason, this topic never gets airtime and we feel it is the time to start the conversation.

There is so much within this topic and we are just getting started!
