Today on the show I am joined by Serena Marie, a fellow non-diet dietitian, AND she’s also a sports dietitian, so she has this really cool perspective on how we can combine the world of exercise with food freedom and intuitive eating and it’s SO REFRESHING!   You’re going to hear us talk about how common it is for people who are active to under fuel their bodies, and how this ends up backfiring.    Serena’s focus in her work is primarily around running, so you’ll hear us referencing running a lot throughout this discussion, but even if you’re not a runner or you aren’t currently exercising on a routine basis, this episode is still for you because you’re going to learn how to think about viewing your body as your teammate as Serena calls it. We talk about how to think about eating as self-care, and how we can use gentle nutrition (whether it be sports nutrition, or gentle nutrition for specific health conditions, or just general gentle nutrition strategies) to proactively and compassionately care for our bodies.    Resources mentioned in this episode: Connect With Serena Marie on IG Listen to the Dear Runner Bod Podcast  Check Out Serena’s Collect Your Bling Mini Pod Freebie Join Serena’s Eat like an Athlete Bootcamp & Membership Community    For full show notes, visit: katyharvey.net/podcast122   Connect with Katy on IG!
