Summary

We're discussing the impact of body image and societal pressures on women within the fitness industry this week with Aram Grigorian.

We examine how these factors contribute to unhealthy behaviors and promote misinformation, while emphasizing the importance of cultivating a healthy relationship with food and physical activity.

After you listen, you'll simplify your approach to fitness and nutrition by understanding that true health comes from balance and self-acceptance, rather than meeting unrealistic standards.
