1 APR 2024 · In today’s episode I talk with https://markey.camden.rutgers.edu/ about body image pressures impacting us and the next generation. Dr. Markey is a body image expert, professor of psychology and director of the Health Sciences Center at Rutgers University-Camden. She has authored several books, including https://www.amazon.com/Body-Image-Book-Girls-Yourself/dp/1108718779/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=%22The+Body+Image+Book+for+Girls%22+Charlotte+Markey&qid=1575121491&sr=8-2,https://www.amazon.com/Being-You-Body-Image-Book/dp/1108949371/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=being+you+body+image+boys+markey&qid=1634296755&sr=8-1, and the forthcoming https://www.amazon.com/Adultish-Body-Image-Book-Life/dp/100922896X
Dr. Markey also writes monthly for U.S. News and World Report, Psychology Today, as well as other publications, focusing on individuals’ eating behaviors, body image, and health. She has also been featured in and interviewed by The New York Times, The Economist, The Today Show, ABC News, Time Magazine, and Men's Health, among others.
In our time together, we talk about recent trends related to social media use and body image, how to build body confidence in ourselves and the next generation, as well as what’s behind the increasing rates of body dissatisfaction and eating disorders among males. Dr. Markey’s wisdom is a needed voice in our increasingly image-focused society. May we become thoughtful observers of these trends, so we can opt out of the messages and beliefs that don’t bring life.
