EP #2 - Why shrinking ourselves is costing us more than just our health

from The BuildingHER Podcast · host Amanda van der Sluys

Skinnytok is trending. There has been a shift back to glorifying ultra lean bodies again. I thought this fad died in the 90s, but like flares and low rise jeans, it's making a comeback - and unlike your favourite fashion trends...it's not for the best. So - I'm here to talk about why this focus on shrinking impacts more than just health. In this episode we are talking about not only the health impacts but also about how we show up in the world when weight loss or dropping our size becomes our one and only health focus. If you're feeling a bit overwhelmed with your social feed and needing a bit of a different take on these fitness trends, listen in and join the conversation - I'd love to hear from you!
