Frustrated by the lack of choices and representation, Bruce Sturgell created Chubstr to chronicle his awesome mens' plus-size looks and where to find them. In doing so, he became a voice for others who were struggling to see men with bodies reflective of their own, creating a map of accessible fashion for all. Today, Chubstr highlights other stylish plus-size men and continues to shine a light on brands creating stylish, accessible clothing for bigger bodies with masculine tastes.Find us online!https://chubstr.com/https://www.instagram.com/chubstr/https://chubbydiaries.com/https://www.instagram.com/chubbydiaries__/https://www.facebook.com/Chubbydiariestravelhttps://www.pinterest.com/chubbydiaries/_created/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEAMJe2-AwcKjE_iq1HMhzwWe'd like to offer a special thanks to Roy, our audio editor, for helping make this episode possible!

Professor Paul Dolan looks at how we have becoming increasingly polarised in what we do to our bodies. Some of us getting fitter whilst most are getting fatter. The polarisation extends from our own behaviour to the judgements we make. We celebrate the fit and chastise the fat.Paul speaks to two very different people to find out how they live their lives and how they are judged. Nick Butter is an endurance runner who has run a marathon in every single country in the world. Bruce Sturgell is a plus size model who set up a website for large men. Who is happier? Paul also speaks to Jet Sanders, a behavioural scientist from the LSE, about why we judge. As always, he's joined by his friend Rory Sutherland, vice chair of the advertising agency Ogilvy.

Do you feel represented in the media? Did you know that almost 80% of teen girls display body dissatisfaction by the age of 17, and about 25% of teen boys display the same? This week we’re tackling the topics of body image and representation. Join our host and founder, Sophie Beren, as she welcomes Katie Sturino and Bruce Strugell to the podcast. Together Sturino and Sturgell dive deep into what it’s like living in a world where representation for their bodies was virtually non-existent before they began their advocacy work. Katie and Bruce let us in on how they have utilized their skills and knowledge to start their own inclusive communities with Megababe and Chubstr. Later in the show, Sophie speaks with with expert Dr. Phillippa Diedrichs, a passionate research psychologist and professor, working towards creating environments that support others and accept diversity in appearances. Read more about our guests here and follow our guests on social media to continue the conversation about body image & representation: Katie Sturino a tried and true New Yorker, podcaster, influencer, blogger, and entrepreneur who founded Megababe beauty.

Bruce Sturgell hails from Portland, Oregon, and is the founder Chubstr, an online community that offers tips and styling advice for big and tall men. Sturgell started the site in 2010 out of frustration of not being able to find stylish clothing that fit his body type.

Bruce will continue fighting for more size inclusivity in the men’s fashion industry, so make sure to listen to Bruce’s podcast, Heavy Conversation and follow Chubstr on social media.

Diedrichs has been researching the topic of body image ever since a class presentation in the 8th grade and has officially been researching the topic since 2006. Phillippa has also consulted on the popular Cartoon Network show Steven Universe which focuses primarily on positive body image and representation for a young audience.

Today, with our third podcast on Body Positivity - Monkey and the Professor sit around the campfire, drinking a few beers and discussing body positivity with Bruce Sturgell of Chubstr.com… only there was no beer and no campfire… but there definitely was conversation. Bruce Sturgell is an amazing man. Bruce has cared much for fashion, which might seem peculiar because he founded Chubstr, a fashion and lifestyle website for larger men. But if you're talking style – namely personal style – Bruce is totally on board! Monkey, the Professor, and Bruce discuss fashion, body image specific to men or male-identified individuals, and the state of the barnyard. For those who do not know - this was a topic of fashion - near and dear to the Professor who is a self-professed clothing fashionista!

There's a man in Portland, Oregon that's pushing aside fear and doing things he would of never done in the past. Bruce Sturgell is the founder of Chubstr, a fashion and lifestyle website for big and tall men. That sounds simple enough. But there's more to the story. The company is helping a community of people around the world, belong. It's become a celebrated resource for plus size men, something lacking in many retailers. It's also become a source of subversive activism, growing the body positivity movement. Back to Bruce, an admittedly homebody sort of guy, who wouldn't normally be 'out there' — he's been empowered to move past shyness and nerves, because to grow his business, he has to be at the front, visible, and pushing his boundaries. And he's so thankful for the opportunity. It's also what he wants for everyone else. It's okay to be you, take chances, and try things regardless if the world is telling bigger people that they don't deserve it. So here I am in Portland, meeting Bruce (just the nicest guy!) to learn about why he started the Chubstr. We also get into understanding body positivity and the value and advice of figuring out what you love to do. And maybe just like me, you'll see this story as a wonderful example of someone using their power for good, to change the world for the better, because we all belong.

Are you struggling with your relationship with food and your body, but are finding it difficult to find the right resources to help you heal? Do you identify as a man and feel lost or like an outsider in the food and body peace world? Have you made peace with food, but are still struggling to make peace with your body? Listen now for some advice on how to begin tackling these issues. Subscribe and leave a review here in just seconds. Key Points: You are not alone, but we can appreciate that you still FEEL alone! SHAME is a big part of eating disorders, and there is an extra layer of shame for men. Andrew Walen joins for more insight into the male experience with eating disorders, body image struggles, and food peace concerns. Resources for men who struggle with body image is severely lacking! The male ideal: 50% of men wish they were bigger and 50% of men wish they were smaller... there is also a lot of focus on musculature, especially in the chest region (very different than the female ideal!). The physical ideal is also influenced by our ideas of "manliness." Men must be tough, strong, and nothing like women (stereotypically feminine traits such as soft or weak). Eating disorders within the male population are stigmatized because they imply that the person suffering from the eating disorder is weak... which is feminine and therefore "bad." Right now, the biggest thing is NORMALIZING the male eating disorder. According to some research, about 85% of people who struggle with body image issues and eating disorders are heterosexual males. We live in a society that drives us to self-hate because we are told we don't measure up, and people of all ages and of all genders are constantly comparing themselves to those around them. We all struggle with wanting to be appreciated and accepted by those around us! It's important that men dealing with body image issues have the inner courage to speak out and begin to share their stories of struggle and success so that the experience is normalized and more research money can come in to help people suffering!! Residential treatment facilities for men suffering from eating disorders is sorely lacking... only one current center in the country offers in-patient residential treatment for males! How do eating disorders look different in men? How do men talk about their bodies? Focus on muscularity, strength, and dominance Co-morbidity of substance abuse, specifically alcohol Language around the body is less specific and less emotionally intense than a woman's language around the body Coping skills are super important! This can include learning how to sit with discomfort and learning how to communicate emotions. Men are less likely to seek out treatment, more likely to wait longer before undergoing treatment, and more likely to rush through treatment and, as a result, relapse. This inevitably makes the fatality rates for males with eating disorders, specifically anorexia, higher than that of women with eating disorders. Resources can help normalize the experience of men with eating disorders and body image concerns!! Show Notes: Link to subscribe to the weekly FREE Food Peace Newsletter.
