Welcome to the show Brooke Van Ryssel. Brooke is the owner and founder of My Body, a gym dedicated to body positivity and being inclusive to every person, body and fitness level. Brooke shares where the idea for the gym came from and why we need to get away from the traditional gym where people are focused on aesthetic rather than how they feel. We talk about why body positivity is so important and how the beauty and diet industry is impacting how we view ourselves. She gives her advice for people who need to break out of the low self-confidence mindset and work towards healing. She explains why you should work towards body neutrality rather than only focusing on body love. We talk about social media and how it can play a seriously negative role in our body image and some of the steps to turn it into a positive experience. She suggests only following people that make you feel seen and supported rather than those you are comparing yourself to.
