We're about to get real with Alana van der Sluys, a courageous warrior who battled body dysmorphia and disordered eating and emerged victorious. Now a certified intuitive eating counsellor, Alana has a tale to tell that's both heart-wrenching and deeply inspiring. Her journey, from being fixated on weight to transforming her relationship with food and body, is a lighthouse for anyone grappling with similar issues.
This episode also unearths the toxicity of our current wellness culture and its damaging effects. We're living in a time when societal pressure to be 'perfect' is at a staggering high. Our health, however, isn't merely about physical appearance. It's a holistic journey, and it's high time we prioritized our overall well-being over conforming to societal norms. We delve into personal stories, highlighting the battle with unhealthy habits and the toxic wellness messages we've all encountered. Remember, this struggle isn't gender-specific; men too grapple with these pressures. This conversation is a wake-up call to redefine wellness on our own terms.
Switching gears to the arduous task of transitioning to a healthier lifestyle, we don't sugarcoat the truth. This episode discusses body image, disordered eating, and the necessity to address underlying issues head-on. Hear about Alana's journey from battling negative self-talk and number obsession to finding comfort in a structured fitness and eating plan. Our guest enlightens us on how eating MORE actually made them look and feel better and reduced binging behaviours. We round up our conversation on a powerful note, emphasizing self-love, acceptance, and the courage to break free from the endless cycle of dieting. So, gear up to get inspired to reclaim your health journey.
