Today's episode is full-circle for me. I grew up in Columbus, and it is where many of my very unhealthy habits and negative relationship with food and body began. I began (yo-yo) dieting in middle school, and at my heaviest weight, I was 312lbs. My 130lb weight loss transformation changed my life, and while I haven't lived in Columbus in over a decade, it is both nostalgic and beautiful today to get to speak with these three amazing humans, all deeply entrenched in the Columbus wellness scene.
Learn more about each of them, along with our upcoming Diet Culture Day event in Columbus, happening Sat Sept 9, below.
