Have you ever questioned how your upbringing has influenced your relationship with food and your body? Join us as we break down the barriers of diet culture and body image with our fearless guest, Gillian, from the Bite Size Nutrition podcast. Gillian, a beacon of body positivity, shares her empowering journey of transitioning from diet trends to prioritizing her health. We delve deep into our own past experiences with food, the influence of childhood, and societal pressure on our body image, and the challenge of discarding these damaging narratives.
Gillian and I discuss the profound impact that societal messages about food and our bodies have had on our adult lives and choices. From examining the story behind our food behaviors to understanding our metabolic health, this conversation is a potent blend of self-reflection and science. We also touch on the tremendous benefits of physical activities such as powerlifting in fostering a healthier body image. There's an enlightening dialogue about setting laser-focused goals, normalizing hard work, and how our core values can revolutionize our body image.
Finally, we turn our attention to the art of balanced nutrition. With Gillian's expertise, we delve into the importance of self-compassion, trust, and balance in our relationship with food, and how they can become powerful weapons against diet culture. If you've ever struggled with body image or self-confidence, this episode will resonate deeply with you. Tune in to change the way you perceive food, your body, and in turn, yourself.
