What happens when unrealistic ideals collide with real men’s lives?

In this powerful episode of Campus Chronicles, Brooke Young sits down with researcher and mental health advocate George Mycock, founder of Myominds, to explore the pressures shaping men’s relationships with their bodies, exercise, and mental health.

From the rise of AI-edited “perfect” physiques to the dangers of the manosphere, George shares a research-backed perspective on how young men can find identity and value beyond their appearance.

You will learn:

• How media and AI distort men’s perception of their bodies
• 
  
• What the manosphere reveals about modern masculinity
• How dissatisfaction and self-worth shape relationships
• The role women and partners can play in supporting men
• George’s three practical steps for building self-acceptance and balance

George Mycock is a lived experience PhD researcher at the University of Worcester, studying men's access to healthcare for eating, exercise, and body image psychopathology. George is also the founder of MyoMinds (and host of the MyoMinds Podcast), the mental health organisation that works to improve knowledge and awareness of exerciser mental health through research and education.
