Welcome to today's episode of our podcast! In this episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Joanie Nacke, a bodybuilder who overcame anorexia and has since become a role model for her daughter and many others.

Joanie shares her inspiring journey with us, starting from her struggles with anorexia and how she turned to bodybuilding as a way to overcome her eating disorder. She talks about the challenges she faced in the beginning, including under-eating and over-exercising, and how she eventually learned to balance her diet and exercise routine to achieve a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.

Joanie also discusses her experiences competing in 12 bodybuilding competitions, the mental and physical preparation required for such events, and the rewards of seeing her hard work pay off on stage. She talks about how her journey has not only transformed her body but also her mindset, teaching her to value herself and her health over societal beauty standards.

Throughout the interview, Joanie emphasizes the importance of seeking help and support, whether it's from friends, family, or professionals, in overcoming mental health struggles. She shares how she has become a role model for her daughter by being open and honest about her journey, and by teaching her the importance of self-care and self-love.

This conversation with Joanie is truly inspiring and highlights the power of perseverance, self-love, and support. So, tune in and join us as we learn from Joanie's journey and her valuable insights on mental health, body positivity, and self-care.
