Welcome to today's episode, where we dive deep into the body positivity movement and its unintended toxic side effects.

I'm Max Lowery. Together with Shane Copeland, we'll explore the origins of body positivity, its well-meaning intentions, and how it has, in some ways, gone astray.

We'll start by discussing my viral Instagram post, which has sparked significant conversation and controversy.

Join us as we unpack the movement's history, from its 1960s roots in the fat acceptance movement to its evolution with social media's rise.

We'll discuss the importance of combating fat shaming and promoting mental health while acknowledging the real challenges and misconceptions around weight loss.

We understand how challenging weight loss can be and why the conversation often swings to extremes.

Shane and I will share our experiences, debunk myths, and provide practical advice on finding a middle ground emphasising self-care and balanced health.

This episode is for anyone who's struggled with weight loss, felt pressured by societal standards, or is curious about the current body positivity discourse.

Tune in to understand why rejecting extremes, focusing on root causes, and embracing a holistic approach to health can lead to long-term success and true self-love.

Don't miss it—your perspective on body positivity might just change forever.
