In today’s episode, we dive deep into my personal journey of transforming my relationship with food — from feeling restricted and negative to developing a balanced, healthy, and positive outlook on food. If you've struggled with food and body image, or you've ever felt like food is your enemy, this episode is for you.
Today I Cover:

-The vicious cycle of dieting, guilt, and negative thoughts surrounding food and my body.
-My first experience with meal prepping was a huge failure — I still thought I had to eat bland and restrictive foods to achieve the body I desired.
-This led me to pursue a degree in Nutritional Science and Allied Health to truly understand food and how it affects the body.
