81: Are you over exercising or under eating? You can have too much of a good thing
10/02/23 • 30 min
They say you can never have too much of a good thing.
And yes, there are a few things I believe this statement applies to: holidays, puppies and beach swims.
But two things that can definitely be taken to the extreme are healthy eating and exercising.
Don’t get me wrong – You only get one body, and it’s important to take care of it. But it is absolutely possible to go overboard with eating healthy and exercising, and you can end up doing far more harm than good.
Sarah Liz King is an accredited exercise physiologist who has dedicated her career to promoting safe and effective exercise practices for individuals with disordered eating, eating disorders, exercise addiction, and hypothalamic amenorrhea.
Ever wondered if stress can affect your period?
If you haven’t heard of hypothalamic amenorrhea before, it is a condition where your period stops due to things like excessive stress, intense exercise, low body weight, or certain eating habits.
She works to help women un-learn toxic diet culture and provide a science-backed, holistic approach to mental and physical wellness that will last a lifetime.She is basically my type of woman. Let's do this.
Ps. If you loved Sarah as much as I did, check her out on IG.

80: "My body hasn't changed. I just used to hate it and now love it" Maz's Real Story
Despite leading a glamorous life and having a successful career travelling the world interviewing rockstars, Maz Compton felt utterly disconnected and dissatisfied.
Her solution? Ditch the booze and switch up her lifestyle.
Maz went from not being able to get through a few days without a drink to 8 years without a sip of booze. It all started when she took a break from booze and to discover what a hangover free few weeks felt like. It turns out, that was the best choice.
It's not all about alcohol, though. Maz also opens up about her struggle with body image and self-esteem and how the pressures of being a household name took their toll.
How did she break free? Well... Let's find out.

82: Trying to lose weight for your wedding? Listen to this.
Planning a wedding can be a roller coaster of emotions, and not just because of the budgeting, guest lists, and venue hunting.
Body image concerns and diet culture often sneak into the process too.
I remember the morning of my wedding so clearly. It was pouring with rain. I'd just finished getting ready for my wedding. I'd put on the veil. This is the moment I looked in the mirror for the first time.
But when I saw my reflection, I felt so deeply disappointed. Despite months of meticulous planning, exercising, and curating, I didn't see the image of perfection I had imagined.
But what did I do next?
And what can you do to enter your marriage - or whatever your next life phase is - knowing you have so much more to give this world (and your partner) than your appearance?
Grab your headphones, get comfortable, and let's get into it. Your journey to a confident, self-loving wedding planning starts now.
Ps. the perfect dress is the one that makes you feel beautiful and comfortable just the way you are. Right now.
