A Gluten Free Podcast

Episode 191

On today's episode of gluten free thoughts I explore why men struggle to talk about their physical and mental health. For myself, being a male with coeliac disease I've been forced to discuss my own physical and mental health struggles. It's so important we break down the stigmas and barriers preventing men from coming forward to talk about their physical and mental health. How can we do this? We'll discuss some strategies in this episode.

What we'll chat about:

* Recap of Melanie Persson's episode last week

* The idea of not wanting to be excluded when in any minority group

* Why I want to talk about men's mental and physical health

* My own coeliac disease diagnosis story setting off a series of events that forced me to talk about my own physical and mental health

* The lack of men talking about coeliac disease and gut issues in general

* Men reaching out to me when I shared about my own coeliac disease journey

* Coeliac disease skewing much more to females versus males and why I think this is

* Why I struggled with talking about my own physical and mental health and how a coeliac disease diagnosis changed that

* Barriers in place for men to be able to feel open to discussing their physical and mental health

* Toxic masculinity, partying and not talking about physical and mental health amongst men

* Being perceived as 'weak' by talking about physical and mental health

* Why men believe being strong involves not being vulnerable and why we're worried about the aftermath

* Sonny Well's coeliac disease diagnosis

* How we can create safe spaces for men to talk about their physical and mental health

* The importance of listening to men when they're being open and vulnerable

* How men in our lives being open and honest about their physical and mental health not only helps the men themselves but all their friends, family and people in their lives

* Teaser of next week's episode
