Today Craig and I are talking about the dark side of the fitness influencer world.

Orthorexia. The obsession with eating perfectly clean. The belief that discipline equals restriction and punishment. The extreme routines that get praised online while people silently struggle with guilt fear and anxiety around food.

We pull back the curtain on what really goes on behind the "grind" and "no excuses" mentality

• When discipline becomes obsession
• Exercise bulimia and feeling like you have to earn or burn your food
• The influencer pressure to stay shredded year round
• How the algorithm rewards extreme behavior

We give real red flags to watch for in yourself or in the people you follow

• Panic when you cannot track a meal
• Cardio as punishment
• No rest days ever
• Constant body updates and weigh ins

We also talk about how to heal.

How to shift from self punishment to self respect.

How to build an identity that is not dependent on your macros or your physique.

Fitness should support your life

Not take it over
