Today, I’m speaking with Adison B Barnhart, a registered dietician who helps ex-bodybuilders & macro trackers feel normal around food again and gain their life back while still living a healthy lifestyle. A former gymnast and bodybuilder, she experienced disordered eating tendencies and uses her experience to help others improve their relationships with food.
