Body image isn’t about loving your body — it’s about respecting it. In this episode of the How to Fitness Podcast, we’re joined by mental health advocate, writer, and broadcaster Natasha Devon, MBE to explore what healthy body image really means and how social media, culture, and our personal habits shape the way we see ourselves.
We talk about how to navigate body image challenges, especially on the tough days, and why “fixing” your body isn’t the answer. Natasha shares her unique insights from working with young people and dives into the deeper conversations we all should be having — from the way fitness is marketed to men and women, to how parents can set healthier digital boundaries for their kids.
We also cover how to game the algorithm for a healthier social media experience, the underrated power of seeing diverse bodies online, and why bad body image days are completely normal (and manageable).
If you’ve ever struggled with how you feel about your body, felt overwhelmed by social media, or wondered how to help the next generation build real self-esteem, this episode is a must-listen.
