Ellen Jennings from Bodywhys

19th December 2025

Children and teenagers today are growing up under unprecedented pressure to look a certain way — from social media and advertising to peer comparison and unrealistic beauty standards. 

For many young people, that pressure can turn into anxiety, low self-esteem, and serious body image issues. Joining us now is Ellen Jennings, Head of Communications and Policy at Bodywhys, the national eating disorder association, to help us understand what’s driving this problem and how we can better protect young people.
