    We’re Losing Ourselves: Phones, Weight-Loss Drugs & The New Mental Health Epidemic | Max Pemberton

    What is really happening to our minds? In this gripping episode of Getting There, Brianna sits down with Dr. Max Pemberton — NHS doctor, psychiatrist, journalist and one of the most outspoken voices in British medicine — to expose the brutal truth about our attention crisis, body image culture, and the explosive rise of weight-loss drugs. Max shares what he has seen firsthand across eating-disorder units, obesity clinics, and psychiatric wards — from patients eating 100 bags of Wotsits a day after bariatric surgery to teenagers comparing themselves to anatomically impossible bodies on Instagram . Together, they unpack: 🔹 Why we can no longer think, focus or be alone with ourselves 🔹 How social media is rewiring our brains — and our children’s 🔹 The dark truth about weight-loss injections and why most people are using them dangerously 🔹 Why obesity is rarely just about food — but about emotional pain 🔹 How society has lost touch with reality, our bodies and what “being human” even means 🔹 The psychology behind bingeing, body dysmorphia & perfection culture This episode cuts through the noise, the labels and the shame — to ask one question: 👉 What is happening to our minds? And can we pull ourselves back? If you care about mental health, social media, food, children, or the future, this is a conversation you cannot afford to miss. ##gettingtherepodcast #mentalhealth #socialmediaaddiction #bodyimage #weightlossdrugs #ozempic #eatingdisordersupport Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
