The Founder of MyoMinds and a PhD candidate,Today’s Guest describes himself as Inquisitive, Open, Obsessive, and Empathic. 

As a PhD candidate, George is investigating eating, exercise, and body image psychopathology in men, and how to improve men's access to care for those concerns. He provides consultation work and/or training for healthcare services and charities, schools, universities and other research institutes.

He’s become a leading authority in body image psychopathology and consulted on the new Netflix series “Everything now”, has appeared on ABC news, has been in Men’s Health in the US and UK, and has been and expert participant in multiple panels and discussions on the subject matter.  

He started MyoMinds, A mental health organization that focuses on research and raising awareness of the mental health concerns of  anyone who exercises including eating disorders, body/muscle dysmorphia, exercise addiction, and sub-clinical experiences.

Expect to learn about George’s personal journey and struggles with some of these issues and how he has used his experiences to focus his research forward his recovery.    Hear about prioritizing your true drivers and values in life, how to build a life pyramid in lieu of a pillar, how self-perception can be influenced by industry, social media, and even seemingly harmless compliments and comments in day to day conversation and much much more.  

I learned a ton about myself and how to engage some of my own challenges in this episode, while having a bit of fun learning about George and some of his fun anecdotes along the way.
