In this episode of Behind the Stars, we’re joined by Malissa Fedele — Clinical Nutritionist, performer, and advocate for holistic health — widely known as The Mood Boosting Nutritionist. With her signature passion for helping people thrive, Malissa takes us through the fascinating world where food, performance, and mental wellbeing collide.
Together, we explore how the right nutrition can fuel the body for long rehearsals, intense training schedules, and peak stage performance, while also supporting a strong mindset and emotional resilience. Malissa breaks down practical strategies for performers of all ages to eat in a way that enhances energy, focus, and recovery — without falling into restrictive or harmful habits.
We also dive into deeper conversations around body image, the pressures of social media, and the influence of modern diet culture on young people. Malissa sheds light on the dangers of “quick fix” trends and so-called miracle weight-loss products, offering instead empowering advice on how to help the next generation build balanced, confident, and positive relationships with food.
Whether you’re a dancer, a parent, a teacher, or anyone curious about the powerful link between what we eat and how we feel, this episode is packed with knowledge and inspiration to fuel both body and mind.
