P.H.A.T.
Let's be honest, being a young adult can suck. And having body dysmorphia or an eating disorder during this transformative time can make it suck even more. Between maintaining relationships, navigating friendships, exploring sexuality, and simply getting through day to day classes, your view on food, exercise, and priorities affect ALL of it. This is a podcast that cuts through all of the bullsh!t. I'm not afraid to ask the questions you might not want to and TO the people you might be nervous to talk about it with. On top of how your relationship with your body affects every aspect of your life, I'll walk you through facts that debunk everything you thought your eating disorder taught you (or even what your favorite influencer taught you). It's time to face the truth about your relationship with your body: it's pretty, hot, and taboo.

What I Wish I Knew: BMI is BULLSHIT!!!!
Hey guys! Today I'll be talking about/reading my article I wrote on the Body Mass Index. This is WILD. You will not believe the history of the BMI and will question why it still exists! Hope you learn something! Please refer to the link below if you want an accurate way to "assess" your health. This is a Health Risk Assessment that can tell you your "real age" (your age health wise) and gives tips to improve it.
