Thin isn't Thriving, Big isn't Brave, Mirrors Make us Crazy This is a heavy hitter of an episode. Buckle up friends! On this weeks new episode, Daniel and Ronnie dive into some subjects that are almost always challenging to discuss. . Obsession with being thin . Scale fixation versus muscle & metabolic health . Body positivity as an unhealthy enabler . GLP-1's, performance enhancing drugs, and physique overload In some way shape or form, everyone can relate to having a moment in time when they found an issue with their body size or image. We make some very important distinctions in this episode regarding disordered eating, self love, and how it's easy to enable behaviors that may not be serving us for the long haul. Be sure to give us some feedback as we know these areas are highly sensitive and our main goal is to help better the community that has been listening along with us and those who may soon listen and join in the shared mission. Love, L&T
