Isn’t it interesting to note how many of us in wellness come to it through some kind of struggle with food and body image?

That is the crux of this diet culture - our relationship with food.

One might think fit pros SHOULD have their act together when it comes to nutrition we’re human too. We survive the same trauma to get here as everyone else. And just because you are athletic when you’re young or look fit now doesn’t mean you’ve got it all figured out. In fact when it comes to disordered eating and eating disorders Athletes are far more likely to suffer from some kind of body dysmorphia or eating disorder than non athletes at any age.

What that means is we’re all in it together.

But at the core, what are we really dealing with and we're dealing with this idea that there's a prescription for the way that you should eat or a prescription for how you should take care of your skin, how you should move your body, that ultimately is going to provide whatever it is that you're looking for whether it's happiness, success in your career, a better relationship with your in your marriage or with your significant other, and it just keeps coming back to our bodies are on, well that the, that our body is our brand it's who we are. And it's equated with what we receive in the world. And I just wanted to put the kibosh on it, I wanted to kind of lift the veil.

that fear of losing control of the competitive body or the fear of losing control over your reputation as an achiever, or as an athlete that at some point we have to learn to let go of that. Because we are more than athletes, we are we are humans, and that means being multifaceted and having multiple identities, and it means closing the chapter, and starting a new one which is a different mixture of the different parts of your personality.
