Summary
On today's show, I had the honor of interviewing someone very near and dear to my heart. Grant Dziak is not only the love of my life, but he's also a brilliant man with incredible perspective and life lessons to offer anyone out there. Today we had (part one of) a very interesting discussion, where we zeroed in on:
-body image and eating disorders from the male perspective,
-the common insecurity among all humans,
-the pressure of trying to "look the part" as a man in sports (in this case, college football),
-diet mistakes he made when trying to lose weight to go play football at Ohio State,
-men and expressing emotions,
-finding courage and greatness in being yourself,
-how we can support the men in our lives and break down our own grip on stereotypical masculinity,
-LOTS more.

Today's episode of EMBody Radio is brought to you by Four Sigmatic. Four Sigmatic provides the best in adaptogenic/therapeutic mushroom products. You've seen me post about this stuff on Instagram and IG stories all the time, and I wanted to take a sec to tell you a little more about them today. I started using them because I love adaptogens, and many of their mushroom products are just that – adaptogens. Adaptogens basically help you respond better to physical and emotional stress. I run a business, run multiple social media platforms that tie into my business, I'm a student, and I have a life outside of all that that I'm trying to live, so stress management is key. Mushrooms can also be used to help everything from your gut health to your skin.
My favorites are the Lion's Mane Mushroom Elixir and the Mushroom Hot Cacao with Reishi... Be sure to listen to the whole episode to learn why ;). If you want to try Four Sigmatic products, use the code "EMDUNC" to get 15% off your order at foursigmatic.com/emdunc.
