Why the “Fathead” Happens — Philion Explains Steroids, GH & Facial Changes
Update: 2025-11-27
Description
A concise breakdown of the “fathead” epidemic in bodybuilding and what’s really reshaping faces today. In this 3-minute summary of the original 23-minute Philion episode, host Philion unpacks four drivers behind the moon-faced look—absolute facial fat gain, extracellular water retention, facial muscle hypertrophy (masseter growth), and acromegaloid changes from high-dose growth hormone and insulin. You’ll learn the difference between intracellular vs. extracellular water, why body-fat percentage can deceive, which changes are reversible (fat, water, muscle) and which may be permanent (acromegaly-like bone/soft-tissue growth), plus the broader cultural shift toward extreme hormone use. Essential listening for athletes, bodybuilders, coaches, and anyone curious about steroids, water retention, facial anatomy, and long-term health risks. Philion also calls for more endocrinology research into this growing phenomenon. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
