There is a big part of that (fear of becoming the minority) that has to do with thinness, and I don't think it gets talked about enough.
What happens when pop culture meets body image struggles? In this episode of 'Grey Maybe', host Jillian Schmitz sits down with producer Rodrick Barge to discuss the complex and often troubling world of body trends and diet culture. From the controversial weight loss drug Ozempic to the glitz and glamour of The Oscars, they dive into how these elements shape our perceptions and self-worth.
They also tackle the darker side of performance-enhancing drugs and the physical toll they take, all while addressing the pressures faced by people of different body types and races. Jillian and Rodrick's candid chat is filled with personal stories and thought-provoking reflections that shine a light on issues like body dysmorphia, eating disorders, and fat phobia. They stress the importance of self-care and being mindful of the societal messages we absorb.
