Body Dysmorphia, Weight Lifting, and Learning to Stop Hating Yourself with Lisa Rhyne

You catch yourself avoiding the mirror. Your body doesn't look or feel like it used to, and nobody warned you this was coming, or told you what to actually do about it.I sat down with Lisa Rhyne, performance health coach and founder of a body-confidence coaching practice built from her own recovery from body dysmorphia and disordered eating as a professional dancer. Lisa breaks down why the all-or-nothing fitness culture keeps women stuck, how to start strength training without fear (yes, even with just body weight), and why your relationship with food has nothing to do with "good" or "bad" foods and everything to do with guilt.If you've stopped liking what you see in the mirror, feel like your body changed and nobody handed you the manual, or think working out means six days a week or nothing, this one's for you.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Why body image work starts with experimenting, not overhauling everything at onceThe two to three times a week strength blueprint for women in perimenopause and beyondStarting with 10 pounds (not 20) and why that's not a compromiseWhy recovery days aren't laziness, especially post-40Building an at-home workout that removes every excuseLongevity care: training for grandkids, groceries, and getting off the floorEnding the good food/bad food mindset (and what "clean" actually means)The five-minute Sunday meal plan that kills decision fatigueTraveling without losing your routine, and why walking still countsAbout Our Guest:Lisa Rhyne is a Certified Performance Health Coach, professional dancer, and founder of Balanced, where she helps dancers, athletes, and active women improve how they perform in everyday life through movement, nutrition, recovery, and intentional lifestyle choices.

There are simply cleaner options.""You've followed the plan. But it gives you the freedom that you can eat what you enjoy.""The earlier you can start any type of longevity care, not only are you going to live longer, but you're going to live better."Connect with Lisa Rhyne on YouTube | www.youtube.com/@balancedwithlisaInstagram | www.instagram.com/balancedwithlisaConnect with SophiaWebsite |  www.thereikihealingcoach.com Instagram | @sophia_i_got_igInstagram | @createlifeyourwayFacebook | www.facebook.com/sophia.e.754LinkedIn | Sophia Elcock Hosted on Acast.
