Today I want to share something a little more personal... This is the story of my journey with food, nutrition, training, exercise and body image. 

It hasn’t been an easy road and I definitely was not easy on myself - pretty brutal in fact! But I have learnt so much in the process, I have evolved, I have grown and I am so grateful for the the experience as it has got me to the amazing place I am in today. 

In this episode I cover 

• Dealing with body image in high school 
• Damaging comments from teachers and doctors and the impact this had on my mental health 
• Learning skills and tools to stay disciplined even when I wasn’t always motivated 
• Learning how to make decisions on food and what to eat and cook 
• The impact binge eating and yo yo diets had on my relationship with food and how this now serves me 
• Why I turned to fad diets 
• The importance of loving your body at every stage and how to do so! 
• Learning the fundamentals of nutrition - calories in and calories out 
• Choosing a sport to become a champion 
• Why I choose bodybuilding
