Speaking of Psychology · Social media, looksmaxxing, and why men struggle with body image, with Roberto Olivardia, PhD · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

So I get it because we don't want to pathologize the individual.

We want to pathologize the behaviors and those kinds of things are the things that are getting them into trouble.

But it's helpful to...

to hear how we all kind of have these kinds of strange relationships sometimes with our bodies.

And some people don't.

Some people are sort of neutral about it.

But even having those conversations without necessarily pointing out things.

And then if there are certain behaviors for parents to share, like I've noticed, because it's one thing to say, I think you have a problem with X, Y, and Z.

Especially your adolescents are going to be like, well, they're not going to hear that.

But if you say, you know, I noticed you're not going out as much as you used to with your friends and you're a very social person.

Like, what's up with that?

Like, if you're sharing an observation that's concrete.

you know, then I noticed like, what are all the, there's these 20 supplements that you're taking, like, what, what is all of this?

And, you know, we have to make sure that this is healthy.

Like, let's run this by your primary care physician, because oftentimes the battles may be like, oh no, you're not going to take X, Y, and Z. And the person's like, well, this is, you know, healthy.

And I say to parents, like, just take it out of your hands and say, well, if it's healthy, let's run them by your PCP.

And, you know, that way it's not this sort of,

parental sort of, you know, kind of struggle as much as I just want you to be healthy.

And the truth is, and again, some of these supplements are fine.

Some of them are totally ineffective and some are harmful.
