Welcome back to The Beyond Condition Podcast for a special bonus edition where I share what has been a tough time. On the lead up to and since arriving in Thailand, my new home, I have experienced a big kickback from a physique standpoint that left me feeling pretty low.

I wanted to share this experience to give a real life insight into how much external factors play a role in your physique response. I talk about the effect of moving country, menstrual cycles, fatigue management and many things that can feel like a halt in your progress when causing disruption for you. We know in this realm how important your physique is, how you look is a constant focus which can easily lead to mental challenges when you are dealing with these factors.

I hope you enjoy this one!

Sarah welcomes Sonia Spil back to The Beyond Condition Podcast to help you understand more about the differences between food disorders and disordered eating.

In the realm of physique development we all view the nutrition aspect differently, there is a high likelihood that throughout the different phases we go through as bodybuilders and competitors that you will pick up food behaviours. In this episode we break down how to establish the impact that your relationship with food is having on you as a person and your relationships with those around you.

We cover plenty of subjects under this topic that spans further than the recognition of how you view food. We discuss several different approaches to monitoring your nutrition, the signs and symptoms of disordered behaviour and how to improve your relationship with food.

Discussions include:
*External pressure and being authentic
*Finding your why
*Coaching
*Competing and bodybuilding preps
*FLT therapy
*Disordered eating vs food disorders
*Flexibility around food
*Nutrition education
*Drug addiction
*Social media

Welcome back to another edition of The Beyond Condition Podcast. This is an episode that highlights the name of this podcast, life experiences that go BEYOND bodybuilding.

Recently I have expanded the guest selection and topics that are covered, this has been a mission from the start. Bodybuilding is so much more than lifting weights and eating right and it's my mission to explore this, delivering you information that allows you to invest in mine and the guests stories with real life insight.

In this episode I want to take you on a different kind of journey, one where I share my experience with recreational drugs. All I ask is that if you listen please do so with an open mind.

A big thank you goes to Jeff Black who came on the podcast last week and has inspired me to delve into this more.
