Episode Kate Ferdinand on Body Dysmorphia and the Pressure to Be Slim
Kate Ferdinand joins Just As Well, the Women’s Health Podcast for an honest conversation about body image, mental health and the growing pressure to be slim.
.
Kate opens up about living with body dysmorphia, the impact of social media and online trolling, and why she’s pushing back against the idea that smaller is always better. She shares how strength training and routine support her mental wellbeing, why muscle matters for long-term health, and how she tries to model a healthier relationship with food and exercise for her children.
.
The conversation also explores parenting in the digital age — from setting boundaries around TikTok and Snapchat to phone-free bedtimes — as well as life in Dubai and modern wellness culture
.
A reassuring episode about wellbeing without perfection — and why sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is strip it all back.
