We really got into it in this week's episode and chatted about:
Charlotte's experience as a trainer on the Biggest Loser. How this experience gave her a platform to discuss a different approach to fitness.
How Charlotte's career evolved from trainer to counselling psychologist.
Why exercise is NOT therapy and why trainers need to hold those boundaries with clients.
How weight stigma and discrimination doesn't just affect us on an individual level but is a social justice issue.
How parents can help their children navigate social media and not fall prey to diet culture and the toxicity that can exist in the fitness industry
How genetics and socio-economic environments are our prime determinants of health AND of body shape or size.
Phew! I think this is one of my meatiest episodes yet and I know you will take a lot from it.
Lots of love to you all
