IT IS SO GOOD TO BE BACK!  And we're going to get deep.  Negative body image has been something that I've lived with my entire life.  You would think now that I'm in the best shape I've ever been in and a 50+ mile per week runner that would go away right?  Nope.  In this episode, I am going to be totally transparent.  I will be citing studies and terminology to help us better understand what it is we're up against.   Instagram: @sharetheroadpod, @mentalhealth.nutrition Facebook: facebook.com/sharetheroadpod Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgfi-waWZDztFEALyfLdIDQ Email: [email protected] RedCon1 20% off Promo ->  T20Cabell Stave Coffee -> facebook.com/stavecoffee Intro and Outro produced by The Soul Chemist - soulchemist.com
