Are you on a diet? Have you got a shelf full of books to help you shed the pounds and get that summer beach bod or are you considering a weight loss jab such as Ozempic or Mounjaro? When the world seems to focus on the need to have a fit and firm body, what is this doing to people’s self-esteem and body image?
With me on this episode are Dr Joanna Silver, a leading psychologist specialising in eating disorders, body image & mental health; and Matt White, author of The Snack Monkey: How to Stop Eating the Whole Packet.
