“Bigorexia” Pushed On Social Media

“Bigorexia” Pushed On Social Media

Young men wanting to be muscle influencers but using performance enhancement drugs say they are suffering from “bigorexia” or muscle dysmorphia. Is social media to blame?   

According to a recent study from the Center for Countering Digital Hate, there have been 420 million views of videos on Tik Tok pushing steroids to teens. Some experts say that trend is creating young men to develop "bigorexia," or muscle dysmorphia. Senior anchor for News on Merit Street investigates on how easy it is for teens to order illegal performance enhancement drugs online. Ryan says he was able to get these drugs online when he started bodybuilding to follow in his father, Shawn’s, footsteps. He started posting his journey online and developed a huge following. At just 16 years old, Ryan says his muscle gains plateaued. So he found another way to get to superhero status until he went blind. Plus, we meet Colton who says he’s using steroids now and looking to launch himself to internet stardom at whatever cost. But his fiancée Alex says she wants Colton to stop using steroids because it turns him into an angry person full of rage. And Callum Hood, head researcher at the Center for Countering Digital Hate, tells Dr. Phil about the study he led focusing on how Tik Tok videos promote steroid-like drugs. And Dr. Thomas O’Connor is a board-certified doctor of internal medicine and professor at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. He's also known as the “Anabolic Doc” who knows firsthand what it’s like to be addicted to performance enhancement drugs.

Should Kids Be Prescribed Weight Loss Shots?

Should Kids Be Prescribed Weight Loss Shots?

Two moms say the GLP-1 shot changed their lives—and now they want the same for their kids. Suzie and Deana credit the drug with helping them lose weight after years of failed diets. Now, they’re ready for their teens—14-year-old Jeremiah and 16-year-old Demi—to start the same treatment. But should kids really be on a weight loss drug? Dr. Phil challenges the idea with gynecologist Dr. Jaime Seeman, who says the risks are too high. Body positivity advocate Virgie Tovar joins to warn that these drugs could set teens up for body image issues and eating disorders. Is this a step toward health—or a dangerous shortcut?   Subscribe | Rate | Review | Share: YouTube: https://bit.ly/3H3lJ8n Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4jVk6rX Spotify: https://bit.ly/4n6PCVZ Website: https://www.drphilpodcast.com

Wounded But Not Broken: Warriors Who Refused to Let Go

Wounded But Not Broken: Warriors Who Refused to Let Go

When Mark "Oz" Geist returned from the 2012 Benghazi attack with 26 shrapnel wounds, the battle was far from over. Dr. Phil speaks with Mark and his wife Krystal to unpack the physical and emotional toll of surviving what should’ve killed him—and the silence that followed. From the rooftop firefight that killed three of his teammates to the years of being told not to speak, the Geists share how they turned isolation into action, founding the "Shadow Warriors Project" and “Her Warrior Heart,” the only nonprofits serving private military contractors and their spouses.  This episode exposes the forgotten side of military service: the spouses on suicide watch, the PTSD that doesn't qualify for care, and the dogs that do what the system won't—heal trauma.
