[powerpress]This is one of the most important podcasts that I've recorded and is a must-listen for both men and women, and especially if you're a parent.Jennifer Fugo, Kaila Prins, and Ali Shapiro all join me to discuss what women are taught about health and fitness as kids, teens, and even into adulthood. This is an important discussion about the unhealthy words, thoughts, and actions that are pervasive in homes, schools, and media; a collection of ideas that are manipulating and warping how girls and women see themselves, what they value, and what they're willing to do to fit inside the "acceptable" box.If you find this episode powerful and helpful, please help it land in the hands of others by sharing it -- email, Facebook, Twitter, however you prefer. And please leave a comment or a review to let us know your thoughts!Listen on iTunes | Listen on Sticher | Or click play above.Leave a comment →Full TranscriptKevin: Welcome to the Rebooted Body Podcast, the show that’s all about reprogramming your body and mind for sustainable fat loss, vibrant health and peak performance. I am your host, Kevin Geary. Today I have a special roundtable episode for you centered around a Facebook post that I put out last week asking women to tell me what they were taught about health and fitness as a child, as a teen and into their adult years.There’s an important issue here that society as a culture are putting people, both men and women, but especially women into unhealthy boxes. Their thoughts, their feelings, their actions are judged a certain way, steered in an unhealthy direction and even negatively manipulated.As girls grow up in these societies and cultures, they face an uphill battle when it comes to having a healthy relationship with food, a healthy body image and a healthy relationship with exercise. And that’s what we’re here to dig into today.If you’re a guy listening to this, it’s important for you to hear to. This means something to your wife and it’s going to be especially valuable if you’re a father. Joining me is Jennifer Fugo from glutenfreeschool.com, Kaila Prins from Finding Our Hunger Podcast and inmyskinnygenes.com and Ali Shapiro from Truce With Food (alishapiro.com)Kevin: Look, all three of you have specific missions in this industry and you have unique perspectives. Take a few minutes and describe your core mission, what you’re doing and who you’re doing it for. Jennifer, I’ll start with you.Jennifer: Hi, everybody. So I run a website called Gluten-Free School. The mission of Gluten-Free School is to give people who need to be gluten-free (whether it’s they’re gluten-sensitive, Celiac disease, they have some sort of autoimmune condition) the real truth about how to live gluten-free in a way that also is healthy. So the focus is really on health and the things that don’t get out there in the traditional mainstream media. People can go check that out.Kevin: Excellent! And Kaila?Kaila: Yes! So I started inmyskinnygenes.com back when I was just first beginning to recover from an eating disorder by using real food. So my whole idea is to help support other people who are looking to fix their relationships with their food, their body and themselves by showing them that we’re not alone in this journey and that this is a process.So I ended up starting Finding Our Hunger, the podcast with my amazing co-podcaster, and we interview guests every single week about where they are on their journeys. So we just get everybody’s perspective and kind of show that, “Hey, we’re on this journey and we’re on it together.”Kevin: Perfect! Ali?Ali: Yeah, so I started Truce with Food about six years ago and it’s evolved. My background is really in functional medicine. And then what I do is I overlay a coaching process, my master’s. My educational background is more in coaching than holistic nutrition.I work mainly with women who are honestly on their last resort often.
