DarshHOST
It literally shapes your reality.
DarshHOST
And I just want women to really understand this concept that I'm about to share with you because majority of women struggle with their body image.
DarshHOST
And it's just because of, you know, societal expectations and beauty standards.
DarshHOST
So today we're and how you can start to use this to your advantage when you understand what the truth really is.
DarshHOST
I have struggled with body image for so fucking long.
DarshHOST
Like since I was a kid growing up and my parents are Indian and, you know, in the Indian culture, just status and how you're perceived in the world really means a lot for some fucking reason, apart from education.
DarshHOST
And so I remember growing up, my parents would feed the fuck out of me and they would just nourish me with food.
Marlon MorganHOST
I mean, you know what? People, we've gotten all kinds of great feedback.
Marlon MorganHOST
People love it when I talk about my distorted body image.
Marlon MorganHOST
They just, they love remembering they're in a body and that they don't necessarily love theirs.
Marlon MorganHOST
So, you know, that's, in fact, that's most of our ratings come from my sensitivity to weight and my own weight.
Dakari BoddieHOST
It got to the point where...
Dakari BoddieHOST
Especially when he was talking about he was having issues with his body image and he openly acknowledged, yeah, I'm not consistent.
Dakari BoddieHOST
I was worried about his mental well-being.
Dakari BoddieHOST
I'm like, dude, I hope him, the kids, his lady are all right.
Hugh MulzacHOST
All that vintage shit you buy, just fucking wear a regular ass white tee and you'll be fine.
Hugh MulzacHOST
Here's
Dakari BoddieHOST
some other advice I'm going to give about his body image.
Dakari BoddieHOST
Stop giving a fuck.
Gillian BennettHOST
I'm here with Michelle Carroll, who is one of my lovely internet friends, who is just always a joy to talk to.
Gillian BennettHOST
And she also just happens to be a body image expert.
Gillian BennettHOST
And when I say expert, Like she's actually finishing her PhD.
Gillian BennettHOST
So kind of a big deal.
Gillian BennettHOST
Kind of a big deal, Michelle.
Gillian BennettHOST
And I wanted to bring Michelle onto the podcast to have a discussion around body image and the ethics of like around sort of like bounce back and documenting body changes, especially in the postpartum period.
Gillian BennettHOST
And I'm sure we're going to touch on other things as well in this conversation.
Gillian BennettHOST
But Michelle, if people for some crazy reason do not know you, Who are
EllaHOST
Absolutely.
ChristineHOST
And it is something which this time of life is, you know, Jan Hooper always says, menopause nutritionist always said it is the second peak of body dissatisfaction.
ChristineHOST
The first peak being puberty, which if you've got teenage kids, you may be aware of.
ChristineHOST
But the second peak is now because we are changing.

Samia MountsGUEST
And so that's just one really striking example, but you can see it everywhere.
Samia MountsGUEST
Like, I even have this.
Samia MountsGUEST
I, I did a lot of work in the last few years to heal my body image issues, and suddenly I'm attracted to a much wider variety of women's bodies.
JenHOST
Mm-hmm.
Charlotte MarkeyGUEST
And so sometimes, you know, you have to be kind of aware that the worry can just shift from one thing to another if you don't kinda get a hold on like, well, what's really going on here, right? Is this a, a sort of insecurity or am I trying to achieve some sort of goal that weight loss just is not going t- to bring?
Jenn Salib HuberHOST
And if we can talk a little bit about body dissatisfaction because what you described is absolutely what I see as well in my practice and in my work.
Jenn Salib HuberHOST
And I describe it to people as you can change what you're dissatisfied with and, but you'll have to keep doing that over and over again unless you can get to the root of where the body dissatisfaction is coming from and have some tools in your toolbox to manage when those feelings come up.
Jenn Salib HuberHOST
Otherwise, like you said, it's just gonna get transferred to something else.
Jenn Salib HuberHOST
And you did some interesting research that had, uh, I think, a fascinating finding about people who had lower rates of body dissatisfaction.
Jenn Salib HuberHOST
Can you talk about that a little bit?
Charlotte MarkeyGUEST
In the one study we published last year looking at people's interest in GLP-1s, so this wasn't users, right? Um, the number of users keeps going up, which is gonna make it much easier to study actual people who have used the drugs.
KatHOST
So I think I didn't personally experience anything through pregnancy.
KatHOST
pregnancy so much, but I've seen online that for a lot of women and a lot of the clients I've spoken to and even friends, second and third pregnancy can bring up even more so from if you did experience any kind of body dissatisfaction, body conscience during your pregnancy and your first, that the second and third can look a little different and can feel a little different.
KatHOST
And I think there's this overarching societal expectation you know, of that bounce back culture, which is bounce back quickly.
KatHOST
And we have a societal acceptance to a degree for a bump.

AimeeHOST
I
KatHOST
wonder if you felt like this in your experience, but it was like, I know that I can Like it wasn't even about aesthetics.
KatHOST
And I know that's kind of like the point of this whole conversation is a lot of, you know, body dissatisfaction absolutely fairly is for so many moms.
KatHOST
But I think there was that sense of it's so important to connect to things that do make you feel like yourself and to kind of feel anchored in that.
