How fitness can be flexible, sustainable, and supportive with Personal Trainer Michael Ulloa

Hey Rebel!

If you’re tired of “go hard or go home” fitness messaging and ready to redefine your relationship with movement and your body—this one’s for you. In today's episode I’m joined by Michael Ulloa, a personal trainer who’s breaking the mold of traditional fitness culture online. We talk about his personal experience with body dysmorphia, obsessive calorie counting, and how growing up around dieting shaped his body image. Michael shares how his own relationship with movement has evolved from rigid and all-or-nothing to something that’s flexible, fulfilling, and rooted in self-compassion.

Michael’s story is a powerful reminder that doing the inner work to heal your relationship with food and body isn’t just about you—it creates a ripple effect in your life, relationships, and the way you show up in the world.

In this episode, we cover:

• The often-ignored pressures men face in fitness culture

• Michael’s experience with body image struggles and disordered habits

• How fitness can become more flexible, sustainable, and supportive

• Why awareness of your words and behaviors around food really matters
