EP719 - The Hidden Disordered Eating in Fitness Influencer Culture

Today Craig and I are talking about the dark side of the fitness influencer world. Orthorexia. The obsession with eating perfectly clean. The belief that discipline equals restriction and punishment. The extreme routines that get praised online while people silently struggle with guilt fear and anxiety around food. We pull back the curtain on what really goes on behind the "grind" and "no excuses" mentality When discipline becomes obsession Exercise bulimia and feeling like you have to earn or burn your food The influencer pressure to stay shredded year round How the algorithm rewards extreme behavior We give real red flags to watch for in yourself or in the people you follow Panic when you cannot track a meal Cardio as punishment No rest days ever Constant body updates and weigh ins We also talk about how to heal. How to shift from self punishment to self respect. How to build an identity that is not dependent on your macros or your physique.   Fitness should support your life Not take it over   Next Level Experience - Schedule Your Discovery Call Here   Next Level Links Nutrition Coaching - www.becomenextlevel.com Nutrition Coaching Free Consultations - Schedule Here   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide High-Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide   Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Submit your questions to be featured on our Q&A episodes.   Order Supplements From Transform Order from Cured Supplement Order from Legion Supplements and get 20% off your first order by using discount code: keynutrition   Connect with us on Instagram Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition
