Summary

Having a good relationship with food is complicated. Sure, we should be eating our fruits and veggies, of course we should exercise, but when does this go too far? Is not being able to eat cake at a birthday party truly "healthy?" Today, we talk to Jordan Syatt, a record-holding powerlifter and formerly Gary Vee's personal trainer, about how to develop a healthy relationship even with "unhealthy" food.

Note: We discuss restriction, binge eating, and eating disorders in this week's episode. All show notes can be found on our website: https://www.foodweneedtotalk.com/
