Guest Podcast with Charly Pickstock who specialises in helping women improve their relationship with food, body & exercise.

In this conversation, Vikki and Charly discuss the evolution of coaching in the fitness industry, focusing on the importance of understanding disordered eating and the emotional aspects of nutrition.

We explore the impact of social media on body image, the significance of authentic self-representation, and the ongoing challenges of maintaining a healthy relationship with food. The discussion emphasises the need for coaches to educate themselves on these issues to better support their clients and foster a healthier fitness culture.

We discuss various themes surrounding body image, emotional eating, and the impact of societal pressures on personal health goals. We discuss the importance of self-reflection, understanding personal body preferences, and the distinction between binge eating and overeating.

The conversation emphasises the need for compassion towards oneself, the influence of social media on body image, and the empowerment that comes from making conscious choices regarding food and health.

Vikki and Charly discuss the complexities of hunger, coping mechanisms, and the importance of understanding the difference between psychological and physiological hunger. We emphasise the need for context in nutrition advice, especially on social media, and reflect on the evolution of coaching practices in the nutrition industry.

The discussion also touches on the dangers of ingredient fear-mongering and the importance of critical thinking when evaluating health claims.
