In this episode, I talk to Racquel Wallen, intuitive fitness coach, on how to heal the relationship with your body by ditching diet culture and finally embracing the uniqueness of your body. She has such a vibrant energy and her approach to fitness coaching finally takes off the pressure of sticking to a restrictive diet plan or workout schedule.

We also talk about:

the messed up believe in our society that thinner is better

there is not one size fits all when it comes to diet and fitness

the myth around fitness marketing phrases (e.g. 1200 calories or 10.000 steps per day)

health has nothing to do with the way you look

I'm so excited to share my first guest with you! Carl and I met through a mututal friend a few years ago in California. In this interview, he talks about what it was like growing up in New Jersery and later on moving to NYC, living the millennial life there. We also dive into the topic of the lockdown over in the US and here in Germany as well as how we think the way we work will change coming out of the pandemic. As always, pop that bubbly and join in on the conversation!

Approximately 91% of women are unhappy with their bodies and 58% of college girls feel the pressure to be certain weight. Those are disturbing numbers. No wonder, diet culture is a multi-billion dollar industry with more and more companies launching products designed to help you to achieve that 'dream body'. January is an especially precarious time. After the indulgences of Thanksgiving and Christmas, many people set out the intention to get fit once January rolls around. Gyms and other health institutions encourage this 'detox/reset mentality' by heavily advertising how they can help us to get back in shape again. Accompanied by some hard to resist special offerings. 

 

In this episode, Madeleine talks about how she fell victim to diet culture at a very young age and how it has impacted her relationship with her body ever since. She then touches on the principles of intuitive eating. A concept, that teaches you how to get back in touch with your body's signals and hunger cues instead of listening to an outside source.
