We Were Never Meant To Be This Lean

from Not Just Gym Girls · host Marisa Silva and Vanessa Silva

In this episode, we’re breaking down something we wish more women understood sooner: we were never meant to live at “fitness influencer” levels of leanness. We're sharing the truth behind why extreme leanness became the goal, what it actually takes to get there, and the very real physical and emotional costs we learned firsthand through years of chasing it. This is an honest conversation about hormones, health, body image, and the difference between looking fit and being healthy. If you’ve ever felt like your “goal body” is costing you your actual life, this episode is going to hit home. And if you’re ready to feel strong, fueled, and confident without shrinking yourself, you’ll love where this conversation leads.STRIVE FOR STRONG WEBSITE: https://www.striveforstrong.com/MARISA IG: https://instagram.com/msilvafitness_?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=MARISA COACHING LINK:https://msilvafitness.typeform.com/to/ptaEKYD8VANESSA IG: https://www.instagram.com/vanessasilvafitt/VANESSA COACHING LINK:https://form.typeform.com/to/hec1uTP0
