Interview with Charlotte Markey, Ph.D., author of Being You: The Body Image Book for Boys

Build Up Boys’ August interview features the wonderfully humble, genuinely kind, and super smart Dr. Charlotte Markey. We discuss boys, body image, and how boys often suffer from disordered eating quietly and unnoticed. Some are even celebrated for it. Charlotte Markey, Ph.D., is a world-leading expert in body image research, having studied all things body image, eating behavior, and weight management for her entire adult life (about 25 years!). She is passionate about understanding what makes us feel good about our bodies and helping people to develop a healthy body image. Charlotte loves to share her body image wisdom with others and is an experienced book author, blogger, and professor at Rutgers University, Camden. She currently lives in Pennsylvania with her son, Charlie, daughter, Grace, husband, Dan, and their dog, Lexi. For fun, she likes to run, travel and read, but often spends her free time nagging her kids to brush their teeth or remove the cups and dishes from their rooms.
