Social Media and Mental Health: Erin Green and Michael Gray Share Their Journey

I think when we're so, we have this barrage of inauthenticity. And it's hard to find those people sometimes, because the algorithms that we have for social media perpetuate what you view. There are conflicts of interest where a lot of the experts that they interview have already made their millions because they get that, and I fully acknowledge that this is.
Social media is a big part of our lives, but have you ever stopped to think about how it affects your mental health? In this episode of 'Middleish', hosts Erin Green and Michael Gray dive into the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of social media. They share their personal stories about navigating this digital world, from the joys of connecting with friends to the pitfalls of endless comparisons.
Erin and Michael aren't just talking heads; they live these challenges every day. Erin, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and former professional triathlete, talks about rediscovering joy in movement without the pressure of social media perfection. Michael, a personal trainer and nutritional coach, opens up about balancing his online presence with real-life responsibilities as a father of two. The episode is packed with practical tips for setting healthier boundaries with technology.
You'll hear about following body-positive accounts, setting time limits, and choosing authenticity over curated perfection. They also tackle the tricky topic of social media's impact on teenagers and the often conflicting interests in the fitness and diet industry. By the end of the episode, you'll feel equipped to make social media work for you, not against you. Tune in to hear Erin and Michael's candid insights and start building a healthier relationship with your digital life.
