The pressures for adolescents and young adults to maintain a certain standard of beauty in our culture is pervasive.  It comes from parents, peers, video of all sorts and social media.  And in the wake of the pandemic we find ourselves with a twin mental health crisis amid Face tuned photos, viral makeup tutorials, and misleading online nutritional advice.  It’s a complicated picture and no one has been trying to do more to provide help in navigating this territory than Dr. Charlotte Markey who has written books providing body image advice to boys and girls as they approach puberty. Her latest book, “Adultish: The Body Image Book for Life” recognizes that these same issues exist in a different form for those who now make many choices without the benefit of their parents.  We tackle a range of topics in the age of Ozempic as to how young adults and others can create a healthy relationship with their mind and body.  Please listen to the podcast, but, by all means, get this book as a practical guide to deal with this overarching issue in our culture.
