Have you ever felt tangled in the web of body image and weight loss? If so, you're not alone. Join me as I sit down with my esteemed friend, Jen, a certified run coach, clinical sports dietitian and an accomplished endurance athlete, who has navigated through her own struggles with eating disorders and body image issues. Hear Jen's heartfelt story about her battle with anorexia, orthorexia, and her journey towards self-acceptance. 

Our candid conversation covers a vast array of topics including societal health standards, our unhealthy obsession with weight loss, and the complex dynamics of body image during different life stages such as pregnancy. We delve into the world of running and explore its impact on body image, discussing the harmful misconception that 'lighter is faster.' Jen also shares her valuable insights on breaking free from restrictive behaviors, the importance of focusing on overall quality of life and the dangers of ignoring our body's hunger cues.

As we wrap up our conversation, prepare to be inspired as we walk through the journey of body acceptance and the importance of listening to our body's signals. Tune in to hear how Jen redefined her relationship with food and her body, and how you too, can learn to embrace self-acceptance. Learn from Jen's incredible story and find the strength to overcome your own body image struggles, because you are more than your reflection in the mirror. So, are you ready to join us on this transformative journey?
