Social media wellness trends have taken a sharp turn back toward 90s thin culture, and the team is not holding back. In this edition of what drives us bananas, Reilly, Jenna, and Lilly unpack the latest online fixations that are quietly pushing athletes straight into disordered territory.
The dietitians dive headfirst into the rise of ‘SkinnyTok’ and why modern thin culture has simply rebranded old school restriction under the guise of high protein fitness goals. What is the real danger behind the viral obsession with ‘protein maxing,’ and where is the line between supporting muscle mass and hiding an unhealthy fixation on a single macronutrient?
The trio then takes on the intense pressure to drastically alter your appearance for major life milestones, specifically calling out the toxic "shredding for the wedding" narrative facing upcoming 2026 and 2027 brides. Why do we treat once in a lifetime celebrations as an excuse to crash diet, and what does this extreme aesthetic pressure do to your hormonal health and relationship with food long after the event is over? Tune in for a hilarious, cathartic, and reality checking conversation on how to spot these sneaky culture traps.
