They say never meet your heroes, but they never had the pleasure of having Dr Charlotte Markey on the podcast. With over 20 years experience studying body image and eating behavious, over 100+ citations and 4 body image books published, Dr Markey is an absolute fountain of knowledge.

I was incredibly privileged to ask her about body image, where the research is going and what we can do to improve body image in ourselves and our children.

Dr. Charlotte Markey, Ph.D, is a psychology professor and Director of the Health Sciences program at Rutgers University, New Jersey.

You can pre-order the second edition of her book Body Image for Girls here.

I’ve been known to start every sentence with “I’m doing a PhD in body image”, which is true. But I haven’t always explained WHY I’m doing a PhD…

I mean, that’s a loaded question.

Is it so I can humble brag about barely making minimum wage whilst thinking I might be the stupidest person alive?

Is it so I can say ‘just what the doctor ordered’, when my ASOS package gets delivered?

It is because I have an unrelenting desire to achieve and prove my worth, and only by making it to the perceived pinnacle of academia will I convince myself that maybe I am a person of value? WHO KNOWS…

I mean the answer to all of those questions is a resounding “yes!”, but the real answer, the real catalyst for me studying relationship with food and body image in the fitness industry is a lot more simple…

And for once it’s not about me!
