TikTok claims to have banned “SkinnyTok,” but disordered eating content continues to thrive under rebranded hashtags, edited images, and wellness culture language. In this eye-opening episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, Dr. Marianne Miller is joined by eating disorder prevention advocate and educator Jen Tomei (@askjenup) to unpack the rise of SkinnyTok and its harmful influence on teens and adults alike. Jen, founder of the Jenup Community in the UK, shares firsthand experiences of discovering disturbing content on TikTok—even after reporting and flagging videos, the algorithm continued pushing them. Together, she and Dr. Marianne draw chilling parallels to the pro-ana forums of the early 2000s, and explore how new forms of tech—including AI-edited bodies—are further distorting body image online. They also examine how neurodivergent teens, who are often more vulnerable to extreme thinking and sensory overload, may be especially impacted by these trends. Plus, they critique the rise of weight loss drugs like Ozempic and their potential to normalize restriction—even in pediatric settings. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: Why SkinnyTok still exists despite being technically banned How TikTok's algorithm can push disordered content—even without user interaction What “pro-ana” and “thinspo” culture looks like in 2025 The physiological damage caused by overexercise and undereating How social media is shaping disordered eating culture in schools globally The link between ADHD, cortisol, and disordered eating behaviors How weight loss drugs like Ozempic may impact teens' mental and physical health Why media literacy and early intervention in schools are urgently needed CONTENT CAUTIONS: This episode includes discussion of disordered eating, anorexia, pro-eating disorder content, social media harm, and weight loss medications including Ozempic and Zepbound. MEET OUR GUEST: Jen Tomei is the founder of Jenup.com, a UK-based organization providing school workshops on eating disorder prevention, body image, and self-esteem. A survivor of an eating disorder and a late-diagnosed ADHD adult, Jen brings both lived experience and professional insight into the complex intersection of neurodivergence, mental health, and diet culture.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Josh Patten, a seasoned leader with a diverse background, including a long tenure at Aetna and a deep experience in crisis leadership. We dive into the tension that many leaders face—the difference between leading authentically and being influenced by external expectations. Josh shares his struggles with leadership, the pressure to perform, and how he's navigating the gap between his core values and the demands of his role.The Tension of LeadershipJosh opens up about the struggles of leadership, particularly in high-pressure situations like layoffs and turnarounds. As someone who's often been in a crisis leadership role, Josh reflects on how he's consistently been able to lead others, but in doing so, he has lost track of leading himself. His candidness about feeling disconnected from his values provides a real, relatable moment for anyone in a leadership role who's ever felt the weight of leading others at the cost of themselves.The Disconnect Between Who We Are and What We DoJosh talks about the disconnect he feels between his core self—someone who thrives in vision, creativity, and inspiration—and the daily demands of his leadership position. Even though Josh is where he wanted to be five years ago, he finds himself exhausted and unfulfilled because of the gap between who he is and what he does every day. This reflects a struggle that many leaders face—being stuck in a position where they're thriving externally but feeling drained and unfulfilled internally.Struggling with the Need for MoreEven though Josh acknowledges the successes he's achieved, he constantly wrestles with the idea of wanting more. More impact. More growth. More engagement. He talks about the tension between feeling content with what he has and recognizing there is more he could do. This conflict of always striving for more while trying to appreciate the present moment is something that many leaders struggle with.Leadership and Personal GrowthJosh shares an important lesson: leadership isn't just about managing systems and teams—it's about knowing who you are and where you want to go. Being clear on your values and communicating those values to your team is essential for authentic leadership. Josh's personal story illustrates how his self-awareness and emotional intelligence have guided his journey, but also how challenging it can be to lead from a place of authenticity when there's external pressure to conform.The Struggle to Stay True to YourselfAs Josh reflects on the personal and professional tensions in his life, he shares that part of his struggle comes from wanting to be both a high-energy visionary and a calm, centred leader. This duality often leaves him feeling inadequate, as he tries to fit himself into roles that he believes others need him to fill. However, Josh ultimately realises that the key to overcoming this tension is not trying to change who he is, but to embrace his true self and lead authentically, even when it feels uncomfortable.The Importance of Healthy ConflictThroughout the conversation, Josh emphasises the importance of healthy conflict and being willing to rock the boat. He shares that his most effective leadership moments come when he leans into his natural ability to challenge the status quo. However, he also realises that, in corporate settings, this kind of leadership is often misunderstood as combative. The key takeaway here is that healthy conflict, when done with clarity and respect, can drive clarity and success within a team.Leading from Your Own ValuesIn the end, Josh and I reflect on how the best leaders are those who know their own values and are unafraid to lead from that place of authenticity. Josh's journey serves as a reminder that leaders need to focus not just on their external accomplishments, but also on how they show up authentically, making decisions aligned with their core values. Leadership isn't about being someone else—it's about owning who you are and leading others to do the same.Challenge for LeadersJosh's story is a powerful reminder for leaders to ask themselves: Am I leading authentically, or am I trying to fit into someone else's mould of what leadership should look like? Leaders must lean into their own strengths and values and trust that doing so will help create the type of leadership that attracts the right people and creates lasting impact.Resources Mentioned:Follow Josh on Instagram: @JoshPattenCoachJoin my free Leadership Training: Join me for a leadership session this month.

What does stress actually do to our bodies and brains—and how does that intersect with queerness and eating disorders? In this conversation, I'm joined by therapist and educator Winter Groeschl (they/them), who brings both clinical insight and lived experience to the complex realities of being queer in a world that often pathologizes our identities. We explore how chronic stress—especially from anti-LGBTQIA+ environments—can shape nervous system responses, affect eating patterns, and lead to trauma adaptations that are so often misdiagnosed or misunderstood. Winter also shares their thoughts on what truly affirming care looks like and how providers can stop doing harm to queer humans in treatment. Whether you're a queer person navigating recovery, or a clinician looking to offer more inclusive care, this episode offers both validation and practical takeaways.

This week I'm sitting down with Joy Allen-Altimare, the Chief Marketing Officer at Saucony. Such an interesting time to have this conversation with everything that's going on both for the brand as they really are in this fun-to-watch reinvigoration phase, as well as what's going on here in the U.S. with the tariffs.

We talk about what it looks like for her to lift up other women both in and out of the office, and what we can expect from Saucony as a brand as we look ahead into the rest of 2025 and 2026.
