We’re back, baby! After a hiatus, we are finally here with season 3 and we are excited!

In this episode we talk about how the fitness industry has historically shaped and defined what our society views as “good” and “bad” bodies. Well…..we strongly disagree with their expectations and made up standards!

How can we place more focus on the social determinants of health versus just a number on a scale or an effed up BMI assessment? Can we redefine fitness?

Listen in on the discussion to hear more on this important topic!
