Episode 111: Finding the middle ground between diet and anti-diet culture with Dr. Sarah Doan

Today’s special guest episode is with my friend and colleague, Dr. Sarah Doan. Sarah is a physical therapist turned strength coach and takes a really thoughtful, intentional approach to how she uses strength training and nutrition principals to help people find confidence in their bodies. 

Here’s what we cover in today’s episode:

  • Why we need to stop addressing people’s physical and mental challenges in isolation and view ourselves as an integrated ecosystem

  • How to improve body image and why a diet never changes it

  • Why lifting heavy is one of the most powerful tools to change your negative body image

  • How mindful exercise helps you connect to your body in a way unrelated to what you look like

  • Why you can’t only rely on how you look to feel good about yourself and improve body confidence

  • Sarah’s experience with dieting and weight loss and why being smaller still didn’t make her happier

  • Why gaining weight can be a good thing

  • When you’re in the right place to lose fat and how to do it without dieting

  • The surprising negative impact of anti-diet culture
