In this week's podcast, I talk about the health, wellness and fitness industry's obsession with before and after photos.
After scrolling through my IG feed and seeing one too many before and after photos, captioned with "look how horrible I used to look?", I am calling it what it is - "fat-shaming". Transformation Tuesday photos celebrate our "new self", but at the cost of saying that our "old self" was lacking, unworthy, stupid, lazy, unmotivated etc.
I am tired of the negative narrative around health and fitness. It denotes that our "old self" was "bad" somehow, just because we didn't have the motivation or knowledge that our "new self" has. Maybe we were struggling with anxiety or depression, maybe we didn't have a great health coach or family support, maybe we couldn't afford healthy foods, maybe our hormones were out of whack. There can be a million reasons why someone is struggling with "weight"!
I think we should move to celebrating where we are at in our health journey and finding positive forms of motivation (like wanting to reduce inflammation, increase mobility and strength etc.). The focus on putting our "old self" down is not body positive, it is fat-shaming.
In this episode, I give a few tips about how I am reaching to be more body positive.

In this episode, I provide my experience in advocating for my kids in the health and school systems. Some things that worked well for me:
- use your strengths;
- build on the experiences of others (don't reinvent the wheel!);
- keep a timeline of symptoms;
- keep up to date on research;
- trust your gut;
- be mindful of parent burnout;
- never give up!
For more information on PANDAS, check out the Background: PANDAS episode.

In this episode I provide my experience in transitioning my son to gluten free eating. Some things that worked well for me:
- focussing on foods he already loved that are naturally gluten free;
- buying a bento box for lunches (moves away from the classic sandwich with the weird small bread!);
- finding fast food (pizza, Subway) and treats (Kinnikinnick and Enjoy Life) that are gluten free;
- baking, cooking, experimenting;
- taking on the new diet when the parent has time to give;
- being a gluten free model for your child.
For more information on my transition to a gluten and dairy free lifestyle, check out Episode 5.
