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.

The moment I stopped running from myself | Chapter 6
We’re told to “just love ourselves” like it’s easy.
Write your gratitude list. Manifest. Be positive.
But what about the days you don’t even like yourself?
This chapter is about that part.
The quiet, messy, deeply human work of learning how to be gentle with yourself again.
Not rushing. Not forcing.
Just slowing down enough to actually feel what's already here ✨🤍
learning to be softer with myself
learning to feel instead of run
this is where the real healing begins 🤍
