Muscle UP Podcast

In today’s episode, I sit down with Whitney Otto. Whitney is a World Champion athlete, co-host of the Untrained podcast, and executive coach. Along with her co-author Deb, a nationally recognized body image therapist, Whitney has developed the transformative "BodySelf" approach to body image healing, described as “couples therapy for you and your body image.” In this insightful conversation, we explore the unique challenges athletes face in their relationships with their bodies, from societal pressures and injury recovery to maintaining peak performance. Whitney shares how the BodySelf approach—rooted in mindfulness, self-compassion, and cognitive-behavioral strategies—helps athletes decode the messages behind their body image struggles and turn self-criticism into tools for growth and mental resilience. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The revolutionary BodySelf approach to body image healing and why it’s a game-changer for athletes. How negative body image manifests in athletes and the tools to reframe it for empowerment. The “key muscles” of body image healing: mindful awareness, curiosity, and self-compassion. Strategies for transforming bad body image days into opportunities for mental strength. How societal pressures, injuries, and competition shape body image for women in sports. Practical steps to develop a collaborative and empowering relationship with your body. Guest:Whitney Otto, MA Co-author of Body Image Inside Out: A Revolutionary Approach to Body Image Healing World Champion athlete, executive coach, and co-host of the Untrained podcast.
