Hi! Thank you so much for listening to my podcast, Curls and Courage!Most of you have a general idea on how passionate I am when it comes to achieving overall health and wellness. Being a fitness and nutrition coach, I work with a wide variety of individuals. However, I would say the majority of my clients are females.One of the main issues I see with my girls is patterns of disordered eating and/or eating disorders. Both are related and share similarities and differences. If you are someone who struggles with your relationship with food, know that you are not alone! Eating disorders, food addiction, and disordered eating patterns negatively affect millions of people worldwide! Any eating pattern that is out of the norm can be seriously problematic and damage not just your fitness goals, but also your mental health, physical health, and overall quality of life.After sharing my personal story on having a severe eating disorder years back, I discuss how I have been able to transform my relationship with food and overcome the mental roadblocks of this condition.In this episode you will learn:-What a healthy relationship with food is-How to assess your relationship with food-Restriction vs. moderation surrounding food-How to find balance with food and exercise-How to practice mindful consumption-Pros and cons of dieting, meal plans, and macro trackingThis is your reminder to see FOOD AS FUEL! I hope my story resonates with you and provides you with value, knowledge, and inspiration in your health and wellness journey!Please feel free on me a message on IG (@yoitskenslo/@fitness4fortitude) with any questions and inquiries!
