#085 - Dr. Katharine Phillips - The Hidden Epidemic Of Body Dysmorphia In Men

from Soulture · host Tim Doyle

Dr. Katharine Phillips unpacks the hidden epidemic of body dysmorphic disorder, from muscle dysmorphia in young men to the mental, emotional, and spiritual toll of chasing physical perfection. We explore the dangers of anabolic steroids, distorted self-image, the illusion of control — and why real healing starts with reclaiming your identity beyond your appearance. This is a conversation about perception, pressure, and the path to wholeness.Timestamps:00:00 The Adonis Complex12:55 The Path Of Dr. Phillips' Work18:35 Body Dysmorphia As A Spectrum23:07 Understanding Muscle Dysmorphia26:44 The Illusion Of Control34:20 Same Actions, Different Mindset37:31 Body Dysmorphia & Body Positivity 42:53 Evolutionary Desires For Getting Bigger 47:11 Dysmorphia vs. Dysphoria 51:08 Psychological Impact Of Steroids57:42 Messing With Mother Nature1:04:24 Importance Of Storytelling1:07:08 Connect With Dr. Katharine PhillipsSend us Fan MailThank you so much for listening.
