Feustelfit Health & Fitness Show

Today as I mourn the loss of my friend, my old negative Body Image issues arise. I feel fat, ugly, swollen, bloated...when really inside i just feel sad. My old coping mechanism popped up and as I internalized my emotions to feel like there was an issue with my body, I realized I am actually just sad. So today as I allow myself to feel. I also felt like I had lots to say on the topic of intuitive Exercise. As a fitness instructor, I love exercise and I love promoting it to people. I know all the benefits to exercise and I want to help people to make healthy choices. I am also aware that exercise has become a dangerous place for many who have shared my disorders with food and body image and the use of exercise can be damaging. I felt torn between the Body Positive community and the Fitness world for this reason. I feel like I have found a happy medium for myself and I am not leaving fitness, not for me and not for my career. Where I am is exactly where I need to be! I don't exercise to change my body I ex

In this Episode we discusss Omarie's journey of suffering with Body Dysmorphia Disorder (BDD) to starting a 365 day campaign called #inthefaceofBDD where he shares a picture of his face everyday for a year to stand up to his disorder and to help others to become aware of it and get help too. Watch this video to understand what BDD is like for those who suffer with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNrxksPbgUg The term Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) describes a disabling preoccupation with perceived defects or flaws in appearance. It can affect both men and women, and makes sufferers excessively self-conscious. They tend to check their appearance repeatedly and try to camouflage or alter the defects they see, often undergoing needless cosmetic treatments. Onlookers are frequently perplexed because they can see nothing out of the ordinary, but BDD causes devastating distress and interferes substantially with the ability to function socially.

Body image dissatisfaction is not gender biased, both men and women experience these issues. However, many men do not express their vulnerability when it comes to body image. It can be a long road to self-acceptance, but by sharing his story, Dan hopes that it encourages both men and women who are struggling with body image concerns (and any associated unhealthy behaviors) to reach out if they need support to break free from society’s pressures of conforming to BS beauty ideals. -taken from https://www.innerselfrevealed.com.au/ Dan first inspired me to speak to him as he shared a nude picture of himself with the quote.. "My body is not broken, It does not need to be fixed, It is what it is, not flawed, but characteristically me" I wanted to ask Dan about this great image and why he decided to become an Ambassador of the Body Image Movement.

Welcome to Episode 19 where I speak to Nicola Rinaldi, author of 'No Period Now What?' Nicola has a PhD in computational biology Image courtesy of Michelle Bailey from MIT. After graduating she worked for a biotechnology company while pursuing her dreams of a family, which were thwarted by a diagnosis of hypothalamic amenorrhea (no periods). Eighteen months of trying to conceive followed. She spent hours on research, using the knowledge gained to work on recovery. Concurrently, she tried the medical route to pregnancy, with multiple doctor visits, injections, and ultrasounds resulting only in failure. Ultimately, she was able to achieve a natural pregnancy. Since that time, Nicola has shared her knowledge of the path to recovery, helping hundreds of others achieve their dreams of womanhood and pregnancy.
