122. Body Image and Eating Disorder Recovery with Marcus Kain

Life After Diets - A podcast by Sarah Dosanjh / Stefanie Michele - Wednesdays

Categories:

This week we talk to Marcus Kain, a nutrition coach and trainer specializing in binge eating recovery. Marcus, who also hosts the Strong Not Starving Podcast, shares with us his own journey into and through an eating disorder.  Marcus discusses his journey with food and body image issues, tracing back to childhood and the influence of his environment. He highlights the impact of early experiences, including body composition tests during adolescence, which led to a fixation on appearance. His career in the music industry further intensified these issues, with a focus on external validation and strict dieting. The turning point came when Marcus met his future wife, who challenged his rigid mindset around food. Her perspective, coupled with guidance from a mentor, prompted Marcus to reevaluate his approach. He gradually shifted towards a more flexible and balanced relationship with food, acknowledging the importance of genuine connections and prioritizing overall health.  Connect with Marcus: https://www.mkaincoaching.com www.instagram.com/mkaincoaching Strong Not Starving Podcast Connect with LIFE AFTER DIETS: Join the LAD Membership Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/lifeafterdietspodcast/ Email – [email protected] Website – www.lifeafterdietspodcast.com Connect with Sarah Dosanjh Website – www.thebingeeatingtherapist.com YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/c/TheBingeEatingTherapist  Sarah’s book I Can’t Stop Eating is available on Amazon Connect with Stefanie Michele Website – www.iamstefaniemichele.com Body Image Webinar + Workbook: https://www.iamstefaniemichele.com/get-started/p/bodyimage
