#41: From Yo-Yo Dieting, Extreme Fitness...

Gloria Zhang, MA
About this episode

Do you have a toxic relationship with your body when it comes to yo-yo dieting or exercise? Body image issues are often a result of inner child wounds, the messaging that we get at an early age and that distorted societal pressure to be "perfect." In this eye-opening episode, I talk to my good friend, Caroline Ofenstein (@carolineofenstein), who is a Certified Personal Trainer and Integrative Health Coach. We talk about Caroline's own struggle with extreme diet and fitness practices, how she transformed that into integrating spiritual aspects of connecting mind, body, soul, and manifestation, plus tips and tools on how to create a healthy relationship with your body!

Episode Highlights:

  • How Caroline discovered manifestation during an extreme health and nutrition stage in her life
  • Manifestation and how it relates to diet and exercise
  • The issues surrounding "diet culture"
  • The distorted body image messaging that we get at a young age and how it affects our relationship with food 
  • Caroline's health and nutrition advice for people who have self-worth issues
  • How Caroline redefined her definition of success and discovered her true happiness

Hey bestie! My mission is to help High-Achievers and people-pleasers heal their Inner Child and find healthy love, especially those who desire an extraordinary connection but often struggle in their relationships.
