Meredith and Alex dive into the topic of their personal experiences and relationships with food, body image, and fitness. They discuss the first time they were exposed to diet culture, and how it impacted their relationship with food and body image as they got older. They share their respective journeys with food restriction and exercise, and steps they have taken to maintain a better relationship with food and body image through the years; emphasizing the importance of striking a balance between nutrition and enjoying life. They stress the importance of checking in with yourself, approaching situations with food with curiosity rather than guilt, and highlighting that how you feel is most important.TRIGGER WARNING: Eating Disorders— The Emotional Rollercoaster of House Hunting— Our Relationship Quirks— Our Journey with Food and Body Image Through the Years— Performance Nutrition and Strength Training— The Impact of Nutrition Coaching— Our Relationships with Food and Body Image Today— Finding Balance with Training and Nutrition— Moving Forward and AgingResources Mentioned in This Episode:· Learn more about the 2024 Tactic Spring Meet-Up!
