Embrace Your Nutrition, Fitness, and Body with a Fresh Perspective w/ Meenu

#161: What if eating more and exercising less could actually improve your health? Join us for a heartfelt conversation with Meenu as she shares her personal journey through the intricate world of nutrition, societal pressures, and body image. From under-eating in her youth to embracing a macro-based eating plan, Meenu's story illuminates the complexities of self-worth tied to weight and the courage it takes to reassess our relationship with food. Together, we uncover the challenges faced by women navigating the confusing landscape of dieting, fasting, and metabolism, particularly when grappling with thyroid issues and hormonal imbalances.

Throughout our discussion, we tackle the outdated diet advice that often leads to restrictive eating and hyper-fixation on body image. As Meenu and I recount our experiences, we emphasize the importance of informed nutrition, balanced macronutrients, and the surprising realization that sometimes the key to enhanced health is understanding our individual needs. By shifting focus from solely aesthetic goals to mental and physical well-being, I highlight the benefits of weightlifting and real, nutrient-dense foods for long-term metabolic health.

Our episode also explores the contradictions in health advice and the overwhelming sea of information available today. We stress the importance of listening to your body and seeking professional guidance. Join us as we break down the myths and help you find an individualized approach to nutrition and fitness that truly works for you.
