You Can Love Your Body and Still Want to Change It l Ep 60

We’re told to “love ourselves as we are,” but also to “be our best self.” No wonder everyone feels confused about wanting to change their body without feeling guilty about it.In this episode, we break down why wanting change isn’t toxic, shallow, or a sign of low confidence. It’s human. We talk about how body positivity went off the rails, how comparison keeps people stuck in perfectionism, and why a body-neutral mindset actually leads to healthier thinking, better habits, stronger performance, and real metabolic improvements.We also get into why internal metrics like digestion, energy, strength, libido, and sleep matter far more than the mirror — and how physical changes become a natural side effect when you fix what’s happening inside your body.If you’ve ever felt torn between self-love and self-improvement, this episode brings the clarity you’ve been missing.(00:05) Why wanting to change your body isn’t toxic(12:00) How body positivity backfired and the rise of body neutrality(20:22) The perfection trap and why comparison rewires your brain(27:42) How to build goals around function, not just appearanceReady to make sense of your symptoms and hit your goals for life?
