The Pressures of Fitness

In this weeks episode, Han is joined by Haley Justice. Haley is a specialist wellness consultant, who uses her specialist knowledge in psychology, nutrition, and mental health to work with fitness coaches to support their clients struggling with disordered eating and mindset.

In this weeks episode, we discuss the pressures of fitness and how they may elude to eating disorder behaviours. We discuss the personal and professional experience Haley has in fitness, and how this has shaped her carer and passion for supporting coaches to support clients who display ED behaviours.

We discuss the behaviours in body building which may appear disordered, and discuss how to determine someone's intentions with these behaviours, and where a coach may be able to step in. Haley provides tips and insight into having a conversation with a client you are concerned may have an ED, and the role of a coach.

Finally, we discuss why fitness sells and alternatives that coaches can use in their adverts instead of weight loss.

Please note that this podcast discusses disordered eating and behaviours that some listeners may find triggering. Please look after yourself and tried lightly.
