Did you know that muscle dysmorphia, also known as “bigorexia,” can go unnoticed when symptoms resemble behaviors society praises? “When exercise starts to take over your life rather than support it, that’s a warning sign,” UCSF's Dr. @jasonmnagata.bsky.social tells @cnn.com. ucsfh.org/4pqFpV5
No matter how he ate or exercised, he never felt muscular enough. Then he hit rock bottom | CNN
Call it muscle dysmorphia or bigorexia, but body image issues aren’t always just about getting smaller. Experts explain why wanting to be bulkier can be a problem.
