Madelyn is very passionate about helping women with body dysmorphia , disordered eating and the emotional struggles related to food

More about Madelyn:

Suffered from obsessive dieting and body dysmorphia for as long as she can remember

She is an all or nothing person and became obsessed with her body and her weight when she discovered the world of dieting

She got involved with body building and became obsessed with building her composition and developing even more rigid rules around food

Between her two body building competitions she discovered paleo and didn't quite understand the eating for health aspect just yet, but looked to paleo as a vehicle for weight-loss

When she got involved with another fitness competition she realized how unhealthy and unhappy she was and decided to overhaul her life

She found a way to develop self-love and to make that her primary focus

Sarah reflected on what is actually healthy for most women and how each individual must set their own definition of health

Madelyn shared more on her history with modeling, body dysmorphia, diet structure and the impact of feedback from those around you

Stacy shared on her struggles to look beyond the numbers on the scale and to base her health on how she feels, performs, lives, etc.

Madelyn reflected on fitness competitions and what happens when we look to others when defining our self-worth

Sarah hopes that listeners will scrutinize their goals and priorities, and adjust their mindsets when thinking about what is healthy

Madelyn wants to stress to the listeners to not be afraid to change, and to listen to your heart and what you need from your life and in your life
