SkinnyTok, Ozempic & the Return of Ultra-Thin Culture | with host Emily Duncan
SkinnyTok is here, GLP-1s are everywhere, and those of us who grew up in the original Y2K era know how this story ends. In this episode of Embody Radio, I'm going back to when I was 8: the year my ballet teacher wrote across my report card that I'd never be a professional dancer because I didn't have "a dancer's body," to unpack not so much why ultra-thin culture keeps finding its way back into the mainstream, but how this round hits different than the OG Y2K so many of us came from.
I get into why body trends are bottomless by design (there's no finish line, because the pursuit is the point, not the arrival) and why chasing thinness (or ANY body trend) was never really about the body. It was about a version of confidence that no trend can actually sell you. If you've ever wondered whether you should try a GLP-1 you don't medically need, or felt a pang watching everyone get smaller again, this one's for you.
