054: Ditching Diet Culture with Angela Beaulieu

Give 'Em The Bird

Angela Beaulieu is an ACE CPT and Pn1 Nutrition Coach who has been in the health and wellness industry for over 10 years. She is also certified in Spinning, TRX, and is a lululemon Legacy Ambassador. Angela spent over a decade hating the body she was in and was fearful of food. Ditching toxic diet/fitness culture beliefs and letting go of “perfection” saved her life (and her marriage). After coming to grips with her disordered eating and body dysmorphia she decided to make her mess her mission: to help other women ditch the toxic diet mentality and truly believe their worth is more than any number. Her fitness and health coaching programs empower women to breakthrough limiting beliefs, learn to trust their badass bodies, and stop fearing food so they can start living life to the fullest. Angela believes: There is no one way to eat or move All bodies are worth loving When your mind is right- everything else follows If you're not having fun then something is wrong In this episode, Angela shares her experience with disorder eating and body dysmorphia which leads to us discussing how ED's don't have a look. Ang tells us how her definition of health has changed over the years and then discusses the four things she says keep women stuck in diet culture (comparison, fear of weight gain, unrealistic ideals, and not knowing what to do). We talk about how transformational making peace with food is, rant about our shared disdain for words like 'willpower' and 'discipline,' and Angela wraps up the episode by sharing a beautiful analogy for black and white thinking.
