Why is it trending?
Health podcasts connect Instagram with promotion, misinformation, and appearance standards
On Decoded, Elisabeth McKay criticized Instagram influencers for presenting cosmetic procedures and an artificial appearance standard as natural.[1]
On Something You Should Know, Andrew Gold argued that Instagram and social media encourage people to present themselves favorably, contributing to shame about supposedly abnormal lives.[2]
On The Dylan Gemelli Podcast, Lucas Aoun said he has discussed ashwagandha on Instagram while warning that it can cause anhedonia and excessive cortisol reduction.[3]
Several hosts used Instagram mainly as a way to follow or contact them, including Mary Claire Haver, Andrew Huberman, and John Miles.[4][5][6]
The shows therefore differ between treating Instagram as a source of health or appearance concerns and using it as a channel for podcast-related information and contact.[1][7][8]
