If food and body image struggles feel like they’re taking up way too much mental space lately, this episode is for you.

Today, I’m unpacking how SkinnyTok, “what I eat in a day” videos, and volume eating trends can quietly lead to underfueling, especially for active women. I talk about how comparison creeps in, why huge meals can still be low-energy, and how being praised for being thin has shaped the way so many of us approach food.

I also share my personal journey with underfueling, macro fear, fitness plateaus, and how my autoimmune diagnosis helped me release the pressure to constantly optimize my body. I share my tips for not letting social media consume you, and how to know whether or not you’re fueling properly.
