Welcome to another inspiring episode of the Nutrition and Life podcast! Today, host Lisa welcomes the multi-talented Laurin Conlin, pro physique coach, educator, and mental health advocate. Prepare for a conversation that goes far beyond body transformations as Laurin shares her unique approach to physique coaching, the integration of food freedom, and her mission to bridge the gap between physical fitness and mental well-being.

Laurin opens up about her journey from teenage weight training and overcoming an eating disorder to earning her IFBB Pro Card. She sheds light on how coaching evolved from a passion to a profession, the importance of ongoing education (including returning to school for counseling), and the nuanced differences between disordered eating and eating disorders. Expect real talk, nuanced advice, and actionable wisdom for both coaches and clients navigating food tracking, body image challenges, post-diet phases, and the vital role of empathy and human connection in coaching, especially in a world increasingly influenced by AI.

Settle in for a deep dive into mental health, maximizing post-diet recovery, and staying human in the digital age!
