About this listen

This episode began with the premise of tackling body image and scrutinising social media's effect on our mental health, but I went down a rabbit hole of alarming statistics that indicate we are getting fatter, sicker and more detached every decade. At the moment, 67% of Australian adults are considered overweight or obese and we have a huge reliance on the medical industry more than ever before. Australian's spent $1.9 billion dollars on health and wellness in 2022 and yet our weight is still increasing. My question became - "what is going on here?"
