In this episode, Hannah discusses the research base into Body Image with senior research fellow at Centre for Appearance Research, Dr Helena Lewis-Smith. They delve into how body image may be a catalyst in the onset of mental health problems - making it a public health issue - how this may have been impacted by the pandemic, why someone may suffer with body image concerns, and tips for those that do. CAR is the world’s largest research group focusing on the role of appearance and body image in people’s lives, and you can find more info here, as well as following Helena’s work here. Trigger warning: this episode refers to eating disorders and specific behaviours of someone suffering with one.
