Pia Miranda and Dr Preeya Alexander sit across from each other in a warmly lit studio. They have large microphones stretched out on stands in front of them.

A super appears on screen over a shot of Preeya that reads: Can boys have bad body image?

Preeya:
Boys, males are not immune to this. Certainly boys and males can really develop body dissatisfaction. This comparison factor, when you're seeing particularly this 'body ideal' that's being sold.

Pia:
Oh, the big muscly dudes, man.

Preeya:
Correct.

Pia:
Like that's not attainable.

Preeya:
Correct!

Pia:
If you wanna like have a life.

Preeya:
That's not attainable and it's certainly not the ideal because the ideal body doesn't exist. So the signs are people suddenly trying to tailor [their] body, kind of being quite regimented, compensatory behaviours, going to the gym more. That's probably the time to have the discussion. But I would head to Butterfly 'cause they've got amazing stuff on this.
