How do we help kids and teens when social media is fueling a resurgence of body image issues and eating disorders? In this special conversation, Lia's daughter, Julia Parzyck shares her personal and professional journey navigating the tumultuous landscape of body acceptance in a world obsessed with appearance. The episode explores the influence of social media platforms, like TikTok and Instagram, and the impact they have on pediatric mental health and body positivity. Listeners will discover practical parenting strategies rooted in empathy, compassion, and my own past mistakes. Body acceptance is an ongoing journey, not a destination. Are we ready to support the next generation in building resilience against the ever-present pressures of body image issues?[00:01 - 06:22] The Shifting Landscape of Body Image and Social MediaExplores how diet culture and body expectations have worsened for teenagers in the age of TikTok and “skinny talk,” surpassing early 2000s pressures.The proliferation of pro-eating disorder content, now openly accessible through social media, and how it's masked as harmless tips.Contrasts curated body-positive environments with the harsher realities faced by today's youth on unchecked platforms.Highlights the rise of the “skinny talk” hashtag/movement and its troubling normalization of disordered behaviors and comparison.[06:23 - 11:39]Owning Softness: From Childhood Stories to Social AdvocacyJulia redefines “softness” as a source of strength, both in body and emotions, coining the phrase “soft body baddie” for her community.Childhood anecdotes—ranging from fashion flair to forming the hilariously named "labia band"—remind listeners of the roots of self-expression.Explores how embracing personal quirks and struggles, like anxiety and neurodivergence, leads to greater empathy in work with children and coaching.Reflects on how family dynamics and navigating outspoken personalities shape resilience, communication, and mutual growth.[11:40 -19:47]Healing, Boundaries, and Building a Modern IdentityDiscusses the transformative impact of family therapy, learning emotional independence, and accepting that parents can't always “fix” pain.Julia's journey through heartbreak (a called-off wedding) reveals the non-linear, ongoing process of healing and redefining self-worth.Explores the leap of faith required to pursue a career in body-positive coaching and online content, with all its uncertainties.Highlights the value of embracing risk, letting go of the need to “do it all over,” and recognizing how adversity can fuel growth and new purpose.[19:48 - 42:06] Compassion, Societal Pressures, and Looking ForwardShares insights on how political landscapes influence fashion, body ideals, and the subtle ways women are controlled through image and expectation.Resist setting rigid future goals, focus instead on finding joy, balance, and meaning in work and life, post-trauma.Stresses that body image work is lifelong, and that society will likely never “fix” its obsessions—progress is about grace, not perfection.Leaves listeners with the message that taking up space, nurturing empathy, and living for personal fulfillment, not external approval, is an act of quiet revolution.[29:23 - 35:21] Dr. G's TakeAwaysConnect with Julia Parzyck Instagram: Fit Fat and All That Here are some more episodes...

As summer approaches, so does lies around body image, comparison, and our sense of worth. In this conversation, we get honest about the pressure women face during this time of year and how easy it is to let the world's false expectations lead to self obsession, insecurity, and even idolatry of our bodies. Through our personal journey, we unpack how to shift from fixation to freedom and steward our bodies with purpose, not shame, this summer!

Journalist Virginia Sole-Smith joins us to discuss how GLP-1 hype has changed the conversation about diet culture, the importance of body autonomy, how “bro” diet culture became public policy, how she handles haters, the “fed is best” approach to parenting, and lots more. Behind the paywall, she shares her experience of weighing herself for the first time in years, what it's been like to date for the first time in a larger body, how she's changed her relationship to cardio, and more. This episode is cross-posted from our other podcast, Rethinking Wellness. As a journalist, Virginia Sole-Smith has reported from kitchen tables, graduated from beauty school, and gone swimming in a mermaid's tail. Virginia's latest book, Fat Talk: Parenting in the Age of Diet Culture, is a New York Times bestseller that investigates how the "war on childhood obesity" has caused kids to absorb a daily onslaught of body shame from peers, school, diet culture, and families—and offers research-based strategies to help parents name and navigate the anti-fat bias that infiltrates our schools, doctor's offices and dinner tables. Virginia began her career in women's magazines, alternatively challenging beauty standards and gender norms, and upholding diet culture through her health, nutrition and fitness reporting. This work led to her first book, The Eating Instinct: Food Culture, Body Image and Guilt in America, in which Virginia explored how we can reconnect to our bodies in a culture that's constantly giving us so many mixed messages about both those things. Virginia's work appears in the New York Times Magazine, Scientific American, and many other publications. She writes the newsletter Burnt Toast, where she explores anti-fat bias, diet culture, parenting and health, and also hosts the Burnt Toast Podcast. Virginia lives in New York's Hudson Valley with her two kids, two cats, a dog, and way too many houseplants.  Check out Christy's three books, Anti-Diet, The Wellness Trap, and The Emotional Eating, Chronic Dieting, Binge Eating & Body Image Workbook for a deeper dive into the topics covered on the pod.

In this episode, Elizabeth Mintun is joined by Carley Weissert, a self-love and body image coach for women, who helps her clients create peace with their bodies, find freedom with food, and dismantle the rules and beliefs that keep them stuck in cycles of shame, perfectionism, and restriction.Carley shares her own transformational journey, from years of disordered eating and self-criticism to hitting her rock bottom. Through candid storytelling, she walks us through the moment she got “sick of herself” and how working with a coach opened the door to body peace and self-trust. Carley's honesty, warmth, and lived experience make this episode a must-listen for anyone who's ever struggled with their relationship to food, their body, or the internalized need to be "perfect."Key TakeawaysInner-child and - especially - inner teen work can uncover hidden beliefs that could be significantly contributing to body image issues. Self-compassion, including common humanity (the idea that we're not alone) is a key component of healing body image struggles. Shame keeps us silent, and bringing our shame into the light is one of the first steps to healing.

This was one of my favourite podcasts that I've appeared on.   It was with my friend Anthony Walsh from his studio in Dublin.   We go long here (nearly two hours) and touch on so many different topics. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it.    You can follow Anthony's Roadmap Cycling show here:   https://open.spotify.com/show/2oCs3N4ahypwzzUrFqgUmC   Prefer to watch your podcasts? The full video is on my YouTube channel Brian Keane Fitness ____________________________________________   What happens when the identity that once drove you starts holding you back? In this honest and wide-ranging conversation, Anthony reconnects with Brian Keane—author, speaker, and ultra-endurance coach—to explore the line between discipline and dysfunction. They dive into self-doubt, social pressure, and the reality of rebuilding when your goals shift. Brian shares what a decade in fitness has taught him, how he's reframed his training around purpose, and why foundational movement always wins out over trends. From Ozempic to testosterone, strength periodization to mindset shifts, nothing's off the table. If you're feeling stuck, questioning your routine, or just curious about what sustainable growth really looks like—this episode is for you.  

In this episode of Mind Your Fitness, we are joined by Aaron Flores, a registered dietitian and host of the podcast Men Unscripted, for a compelling conversation on the intersections of eating disorders, diet culture, and the male experience. Aaron shares his journey as a dietitian healing his own relationship with food/body and how unlearning traditional nutrition training helped him adopt a weight-inclusive, intuitive eating approach to support other men. He joins us to unpack how modern masculinity, performance culture, and diet trends intersect in harmful ways. From teen boys chasing gym gains to tech bros obsessed with fasting and supplements, this episode challenges how we define "health" for men. The conversation also dives into under-discussed topics like low testosterone from restrictive eating, how male libido can signal nutritional imbalance, and the gaps in identifying and supporting those men struggling with body image and/or disordered eating concerns. A must-listen for clinicians, parents, and anyone supporting men on their wellness journey. Aaron Flores is Los Angeles-based registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN), Certified Body Trust® Provider, and one of the few men very active in the space of intuitive eating. Aaron is a true trailblazer with his podcast Men Unscripted, where he holds conversations that give insight into the struggles that men experience when it comes to their body, food, and fitness. He has been featured in the New York Times, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, and on the 10% Happier Podcast.

Today we are talking about something that I know so many of us struggle with—whether we say it out loud or not. And that is: how we feel about ourselves when we see a photo of ourselves that we don't love. Maybe it's a group picture someone tags you in. Maybe it's a candid shot your partner took. Maybe it's even a selfie you took yourself—and instead of seeing the fun memory, the beautiful moment, or the experience you were having, your brain zooms in on that one thing you hate about how you look. “Ugh, my arms look huge.” “Why do I look so puffy?” “I didn't realize my legs looked like that.” If you've ever had a moment where a photo stole your joy… this episode is for you.   What I discuss:  What a “self-discrepancy moment” is Some factors that can significantly change how you look in pictures What to do when the self-discrepancy moment hits 6 actionable steps to positively react   And if you loved today's episode, I know you'll also love… Episode 338: To the Woman Obsessing About What Her Body Looks Like…https://www.juliealedbetter.com/embrace-your-real/to-the-woman-obsessing-about-what-her-body-looks-like    If you want more from me, be sure to check out...

If perfectionism is your favorite weakness, this one's for you. Dr. Ellen Hendriksen, clinical psychologist and author of How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists, joins Vic to unpack the roots of perfectionism, how it shows up in everyday life, and why so many of us feel like we have to earn our worth. They explore the difference between healthy ambition and toxic self-criticism, how to find that middle ground where you're still growing without burning out, and what it really means to practice self-compassion. Vic opens up about her own struggles with perfectionism—from how playing D1 volleyball enhanced her inner critic to why she regrets overplanning Max's 30th birthday—and shares the tools she's learning to prioritize presence over performance. Whether you overthink, overachieve, or feel like you're never quite doing enough, this conversation will help you let go of the pressure and embrace the messiness of being human.Website: ellenhendriksen.comInstagram: @ellen_hendriksenBook: How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists by Dr. Ellen Hendriksen// SPONSORS // Quince: Treat your closet to a little summer glow-up with Quince.

If we were starting our health and fitness journeys over today, these are the 5 critical lessons we would apply from day one.

We cover: ✔️ The importance of tracking your workouts and data—stop wandering through the gym without a plan ✔️ Why spending more time at maintenance calories (instead of constant dieting or bulking) is the real key to sustainable progress ✔️ How to avoid wasting money on unnecessary supplements and which ones are actually worth it ✔️ The power of having a clear vision and purpose behind your fitness goals to stay motivated long-term ✔️ Why daily movement outside of workouts is a game-changer for overall health and fat loss This is the advice we wish someone gave us at the start.
