We've been conditioned to believe health has a look, and that if we don't match it, we must be doing something wrong. That assumption leaves a lot of people feeling like failures, even when they're showing up consistently and doing their best.
Christin, Jess Gordon and Sam (RD) unpack why appearance is a poor proxy for health and how genetics, environment, mental health, access to care, and life circumstances all play a role in what health actually looks like for different people.
The conversation breaks down the limitations of body composition as a metric, why social media distorts our perception of "healthy," and how focusing on behaviors > aesthetics creates a more realistic, compassionate, and sustainable framework for health.
If you've ever judged your progress by the mirror, the scale, or someone else's body, this conversation offers a needed reframe.
