Your Body Is Not The Problem

I've had a very specific insecurity for my entire life that I have felt completely alone in for so long and it resurfaced on October 17th. After it resurfaced, I decided I would record this episode on the 17th and share with you exactly where my thoughts went and some things to think about if you have an insecurity that you've had your whole life and maybe know you can't get rid of.

Your body is not the problem!

Today I am joined by Michael Ulloa!

Michael answers questions such as:

• What are some of the downsides to the fitness industry being image obsessed?
• Why does Michael not share progress/before and after photos on social media?
• How can focusing on your mental health can improve your physical results?
• How do you recommend moving away from the all-or-nothing approach to fitness?
• What are your thoughts on using the scale?

And so much more!
