As the idealized male physique continues to be hyped in
movies, on TV, in magazines, and on billboards, a rapidly growing number of men are
becoming obsessed with appearance. Each year alone, they spend billions on gym memberships
and home exercise equipment—and women are no longer alone in battling anorexia and
body dysmorphic disorder. This topical program explores some of the issues facing young
men today as they struggle to define themselves amidst the flood of media-generated images
of male physical perfection. Experts including Divya Kakaiya, the visionary founder and
clinical director of the Healthy Within treatment center; Leigh Cohn, co-author of the
seminal Making Weight: Men’s Conflicts with Food, Weight, Shape, and Appearance; and
UCLA Healthcare sports medicine physician Gary Green as well as a number of young patients
grapple with problems such as steroid abuse, eating disorders, exercise addiction, and
phony food supplements. A Cambridge Educational Production.
