038: Dancing For Bone Health Ft. Sarah Smales My Dance Dietitian

In this episode of the Strong Bones Coach podcast, Carly interviews special guest Sarah Smales, a former professional dancer turned dietitian. Sarah shares her journey from the world of professional dancing to becoming a dietitian specialising in nutrition for dancers. She discusses her challenges with coeliac disease, the misinformation surrounding nutrition in dance, and how she navigated diet restrictions while performing globally. The conversation also covers the impact of dance on bone health, exploring how  dancing activities can benefit bone mineral density, alongside the potential risks associated with dance culture on body image and eating behaviours. Sarah's transition to yoga and her intentions to combine her dance experience with dietetics to support athletes and dancers further highlight the episode's focus on the interconnection of movement, nutrition, and health.Connect with Sarah on Instagram @mydancedietitianFor more information on eating / disordered eating within dance or you are concerned about yourself or someone you know,  access support here >> https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/get-information-and-support/get-help-for-myself/i-need-support-now/helplines/ Thanks for listening to Rooted In PresenceIf you’d like to get in touch with a question about today’s episode or find out how I can support you with coaching, here’s how to reach me:📧 Email: [email protected]📱 Instagram: @carlykillencoachDo you crave unshakable confidence in your strength from midlife and beyond?
