Thanks for listening to another episode of The Women’s Fittest Podcast! This is episode #112 interview with WBFF Pro & Dietician Holly Baxter. 

If you’re not familiar with Holly Baxter this Australian WBFF Pro and evidence-based coach is providing incredible content on social media and finally thriving after a 15 year battle with anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. I had to find out how she beat it. This interview talks about the mental game food and body image has on so many of us into fitness or competing. Holly shares with so much joy and confidence her journey through it. And we talk about her businesses coaching, her coaching app (I ordered it right after we recorded!) her e-books, and the passion in her voice is undeniable. If you take away anything from this interview it might be that true happiness starts with being healthy on the inside, and it’s v worth working for. Happy for your successes Holly and wishing you continued health and prosperity as you pay it forward with your generous spirit.

Topics she covered:

1. Her education and competing in the WBFF
2. Her athletic background and some of the possible triggers as a teen that lead to her through a 15 year journey of various disordered eating 
3. Holly answers the question “Do you ever really recover from an eating disorder?”
4. The struggle of being educated about knowing how to eat but not being able to do it.
5. Her struggles with social media 
6. How competing impacted her journey through and to true mental and physical health both positively and negatively. 
7. Enlisting a food psychologist (professional help) to help her heal
8. Should you and if so how can one hypothetically find a healthy approach to doing a bodybuilding competition when you have a history of eating disorders. 
9. What a stage lean body feels like versus a balanced physique with mental peace and what she prefers. 
10. How even competing naturally is only an “accomplishment” not a sustainable state of being and how even she thought at one point she’d be able to maintain stage leanness year round. 
11. Why can’t we, as women, stick to our diets?
12. The Carbon Diet Coach app created by Holly, Dr Layne Norton and Keith Kraker(Full Discloser I bought this app right after we recorded Friday and have been LOVING it and 100% on track with my diet since) Maybe we can do a follow up to talk more about my experience. Holly used this app for her last contest prep. 
13. Her two e-books: The Complete Contest Prep Recipe Guide and If It Fits Your Macros 
14. Final message from Holly
