In this episode, Marisa and Vanessa get personal about the struggles they faced on their fitness journeys, how they overcame them, and how those experiences shaped them into the coaches they are today. From obsessing over macros and calorie counting to dealing with severe restriction, exercise addiction, and even losing their menstrual cycles (amenorrhea), they open up about the toll these challenges took on their health and mindset.
They also share experiences with post-meal bloating and the cycle of binge eating—and the strategies they used to navigate through these struggles. Plus, they’ll talk about the emotional hurdles of gym intimidation and finding the courage to step into a space that once felt unwelcoming.
This episode is packed with relatable stories and valuable lessons to remind you that you’re never alone on your fitness journey—and that true health is so much more than numbers or appearances.
