TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of bodies, eating disorders, and skinniness, listen at your own discretion.

This episode is designed to call out the problem in today’s society: the overuse and abuse of weight loss drugs and practices. We went from chasing strength to once again chasing skinny with the goal to take up less and less space. I use this episode to break down why skinny does not mean healthy, how the media is influencing your perception of your own body, and the very real difference between being naturally thin and being undernourished. I also share the actual markers of health that I use in my own life and with my clients: things like energy, strength, hormones, and your relationship with food. This is meant to be a reality check so you can stop chasing a trend and start paying attention to what your body actually needs. Because skinniness is a trend… but your health is something you have to live with for the rest of your life.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Just because someone is small doesn’t mean their body is functioning well
  2. Your body has a natural set point, and forcing it below that comes with consequences
  3. Energy, strength, hormones, and your relationship with food matter more than your size
  4. Stop trying to take up less space
