Find Your Strong Podcast
Encouraging people to find what FEELS good in terms of food, movement and their bodies. Let's challenge the wellness w*nkery and start a new conversation.
In each episode, Christine and Ela discuss their thoughts on diet and fitness fads, speak with fabulous guests about finding peace with food and movement, and interview experts so that they can share their insights and knowledge with you, the listeners.
The hope is that together we can change the narrative around fitness and nutrition, and help you find YOUR strong!
