• The Rise of “SkinnyTok” and the Return of Dangerous Diet Culture - 1197

  You’ve seen it on your feed. Size 0 is trending again. Ozempic is the new green juice. And TikTok’s “wellness” content? It’s looking a lot like 2003 diet culture with a Gen Z filter. In this episode, Chalene Johnson is  breaking down the rise of “SkinnyTok,” the quiet (but aggressive) comeback of thin worship, and how it’s messing with our heads—especially if you’re a midlife woman trying to love your body and feel strong again. We’ll talk about:     •    Why these trends are not new—and why they’re so dangerous     •    What’s really happening with body image on social media     •    How to filter out the noise and focus on what actually works (without wrecking your hormones)     •    My honest thoughts on Ozempic, rapid weight loss, and what to watch for   If you’ve ever felt like your worth is shrinking with your waistline, this one’s for you. It’s time we stopped letting teenage trends run our health.   🎯Try Patreon for 7 Days FREE for all of the other FUN content not suited for the regular show!!  👉 http://chalene.com/more   💪🏼Join the all-new Phase It!!
