episode 117: the intersection of body image, chronic pain, eating and exercise with alia bisat
Today is a very special episode of The Diet Diaries because I’m talking with one of my very best friends in the world who is also a brilliant movement coach, Alia Bisat.
The overlap between the work Alia does as a movement coach and the work I do around nutrition and body image is truly incredible and that’s what we’re diving into today.
Here are some of the big topics Alia and I discuss:
Why there is no quick fix solution for figuring out how to eat, how to move and how to improve body image
The instant gratification trap and how to avoid it
Why avoiding the foods were afraid of and the movements that cause pain actually make everything worse
The value of learning to be uncomfortable
The intersection of body image and chronic pain and how you learn to change your beliefs around yourself
Exactly why making changes around your body is so hard and what to do about it
How your self perception around your body changes how you move and interact with the world
Here is a link to the magic video Alia talks about, definitely worth a watch!
