Life is WAY too short to be at war with yourself every single day. In today’s episode, Lily and I discuss how to truly treat your body with kindness, how to overcome your food fears, and how food is actually more than fuel. We also discuss if tracking macros is really necessary for you. Lily shares her experience with many of these topics and how she has overcome these unhealthy mindsets and found a new sense of freedom. I am confident that so many of us can resonate with her as she demonstrates balance in such a special way!

Lily is finishing her senior year at Ohio State University and plans to attend law school in the fall. She has been a certified fitness instructor through Ohio State for 3 years and has been working virtually this last year throughout the pandemic. Although Lily is super passionate about fitness and overall wellness, it actually has nothing to do with her studies or career path. After a long battle with disordered eating and a bad relationship with the gym, she finally found a balance in her life and hopes to help other people achieve that as well. She now loves practicing all forms of movement from weight lifting to yoga, to running, to plyometrics, and has become a total foodie after conquering her food fears. She is a firm believer that you can be a healthy individual while enjoying life and pursuing the other things you love.

What are diet culture's toxic traits? What is life without a challenge? These are just a couple of the questions that Chey and I discuss in today's episode. Chey also shares her story about her eating disorder and how she is working towards recovery. In that, we talk about why getting professional help is essential and is NOT something to be ashamed of.

Chey is a 3rd year nursing student in Canada and is currently working in the health care field through the pandemic. She did 2 years of university before starting her nursing program, which is when she got sick with an eating disorder. Over the last 4 years, she has been to treatment once and since been figuring out the world of recovery with the endless support of her friends. Chey believes that full recovery is possible, and her mission is to document her experiences and educate as many people as possible about the harmful nature of eating disorders, disordered eating, and diet culture. She believes that together we can help society reach a place of acceptance within the mental health field, and make strides towards a better future!
