“Bigorexia” Pushed On Social Media 06/27/2025

“Bigorexia” Pushed On Social Media Young men wanting to be muscle influencers but using performance enhancement drugs say they are suffering from “bigorexia” or muscle dysmorphia. Is social media to blame? According to a recent study from the Center for Countering Digital Hate, there have been 420 million views of videos on Tik Tok pushing steroids to teens. Some experts say that trend is creating young men to develop "bigorexia," or muscle dysmorphia. Senior anchor for News on Merit Street investigates on how easy it is for teens to order illegal performance enhancement drugs online. Ryan says he was able to get these drugs online when he started bodybuilding to follow in his father, Shawn’s, footsteps. He started posting his journey online and developed a huge following. At just 16 years old, Ryan says his muscle gains plateaued. So he found another way to get to superhero status until he went blind. Plus, we meet Colton who says he’s using steroids now and looking to launch himself to internet stardom at whatever cost. But his fiancée Alex says she wants Colton to stop using steroids because it turns him into an angry person full of rage. And Callum Hood, head researcher at the Center for Countering Digital Hate, tells Dr. Phil about the study he led focusing on how Tik Tok videos promote steroid-like drugs. And Dr. Thomas O’Connor is a board-certified doctor of internal medicine and professor at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. He's also known as the “Anabolic Doc” who knows firsthand what it’s like to be addicted to performance enhancement drugs.

Political Violence: Justified or Just Wrong? 06/06/2025

Political Violence: Justified or Just Wrong? An in-depth discussion about why many Americans find using violence to solve political and societal issues justified. It's been reported that the United States is seeing a sustained surge of political violence, including physical violence and vandalism against political leaders, federal judges, public officials, and those with an opposing ideology. But what may be most surprising is that many Americans find using violence to solve political and societal issues understandable and justified. In fact, Dr. Phil will speak with, Daisy, who is someone who claims not only can political violence sometimes be necessary for change, it can also be a logical response when people feel powerless. Dr. Phil will also speak with Paige, a young student who claims the alleged assault she endured at the hands of another student on her college campus was politically motivated. Plus, Dr. Phil will speak Kathy, a 70-year-old woman, who says her life changed forever when she claims a teenage boy physically attacked her while at a peaceful demonstration last year. Find out why Kathy says that alleged physical attack has kept her from participating in any type of activism. Thank you to our sponsors!
