YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJOE’s intrepid national reporter Tom Usher joins Ava to discuss the rising trend of male steroid use in the UK, the pressures behind it, and what it says about modern masculinity. You can watch his documentary on the subject here:
Why are more and more men turning to steroids and extreme diets? Is it about impressing women, chasing the 'perfect' body, or is something deeper going on? Tom draws from personal experience and recent research, shedding light on how body image issues, once considered a 'female' concern, have quietly become a silent epidemic amongst men.
From “no carbs before Marbs” culture to obsessive calorie counting and performance-enhancing drug use, Tom dives into the toxic expectations surrounding male fitness, mental health, and masculinity. Tom shares his own struggles with body dysmorphia, exposing how fitness influencers, unrealistic physique standards, and peer comparison have pushed men toward disordered eating and unhealthy gym habits.
