They're computer-generated robots designed to make you feel inadequate about your body. Why is everyone suddenly afraid of vegetables? Why are influencers celebrating their hair falling out in clumps? And why are we calling starvation "wellness" again? After decades of helping women transform their health, I am breaking my silence on the disturbing "ick" I'm feeling about today's diet culture. From AI-generated fake influencers to the terrifying return of "skinny is back," this episode is exposing the dangerous trends that made me cancel my annual January Total Body Thrive Live Fat Loss Group Launch for the first time ever. What pushed me over the edge? Why am I calling out the carnivore craze, the protein obsession, and the normalization of eating disorders disguised as "discipline"? And what does the revival of nicotine patches for weight loss say about how far we've fallen?! This unfiltered episode will make you question everything you're seeing online and might just explain why you've been feeling so confused and frustrated with conflicting health advice.
