  • Summary

  • Welcome to Dissolved by Dr Rosh, my new podcast where I’ll be inviting friends, celebrities, and CEOs to talk about how they’re using their influence and voice for good.

    As an experienced GP, cardiology, and aesthetics practitioner who has spent two decades working in medicine, I can promise you that this podcast will be the first of its kind.

    Covering everything from new-age beauty standards to social media and mental health, search Dissolved by Dr Rosh for insightful conversations, with influential people.

    In this episode, I talk with Madison Sarah, who is one of the top models in the UK and has a YouTube channel with a follower count of over 300,000.

    During our conversation, we chat about Madison’s unique upbringing as a Jehovah’s witness, and how religion still plays a central role in her life, though now it’s on her own terms. [2.06]

    Madison is open and honest when we talk about how social media has impacted her life and exposed her to the harsh realities of life that she was protected from in her youth. [08.11]

    She shares how a few years ago through the pressures and negativity of social media, she felt disconnected from herself and found herself in a cycle of focusing on her perceived flaws and her outer self. [13.21]

    Through journaling, and shining a light on her inner self, Madison has managed to cope with these pressures and change her way of thinking. [22.06]

    Her key piece of advice is to not let the judgments of others cloud your own. Only you know yourself. [28.15]

    I’m grateful to Madison for being so open and honest during our conversation.

    We all suffer from negative thoughts and often feel that we’re alone in this thinking.

    I want to share some negative thoughts so that when they come up you can call them out:

    Toxic focus on a small thing or on a perceived flawFalse beliefs. Looking at our bodies and judging what we see, creates these false beliefs. These intrusive thoughts can then dominate our thinking and can lead to negative actions.

    We need to be mindful of these and not suffer in secret. If this happens, we need to be able to acknowledge and move forward.

    We can do this by:

    Reframe what’s going on. Understand the negative thought patterns. How do we acknowledge and move on to positivity?Refocus our attention – for example, are you using social media to look at images of people that are most likely edited and being hard on yourself?Take some time away from social media to refocus on the positive.Reorder or realign. Look at potentially getting help through your GP or Psychologist.

    1/2% of the population suffers from Body Dysmorphia in the UK. You are not alone, there’s lots of help out there.
