Understanding Male Eating Disorders

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Sam Cares, a licensed psychologist at Rogers Behavioral Health, about the dangers of eating disorders in men, a topic that’s often misunderstood or overlooked. Dr. Cares explains how male eating disorders can differ from those in women, especially in terms of diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment approaches. We also discuss the impact of stigma, masculinity, and mental health awareness on men’s willingness to seek help. Whether you're a parent, educator, clinician, or someone navigating recovery, this conversation offers expert insight and practical guidance.
