Episode 7 - Body Image and Avoiding Weight Loss Fads

Jovin Harper & Serene Husseini Season 1 Episode 7

Join us as we delve into a discussion on body image - how negative body image affects us personally, and how we manage it. We also talk about the Instagram echo chamber, the importance of our circle, and reflect on the idea of "toxic positivity".
With summer approaching, we warn about weight loss fads, and highlight the prevalence of misinformation, and immorality in the diet industry.
