I interview Shawn Stevenson - bestselling author, speaker and host of The Model Health Show – on both men's and women's body image issues. His perspective is incredible - you don't want to miss this episode! In this episode, we chat about:

• Shawn's incredible story of recovering from a degenerative spine disease through food, movement, sleep and love
• The doctrine of signatures as a template to finding foods to support and rebuild various aspects of ourselves
• How we all have a female template and that when we become disconnected from this it reduces our compassion and well-being
• The issues that men struggle with when it comes to body image and why this sources from comparison
• How male representation in the media has evolved and become more unrealistic over the past decades
• Is it more socially acceptable for men to have disordered eating behaviours?
• Why the primal part of men's brains makes them desire women who appear more fertile - in other words, women with extra body fat
• In other cultures being thicker is celebrated
• There is nothing more attractive than valuing your uniqueness and owning your divine feminine
• Why body fat is critical to proper hormonal function for women and why this is a broad and individual range for each woman
• Why listening to your inner guiding system is the most important thing
• How you can take action and live a life full of joy and self-love
• PLUS SO much more...

This week, we meet Mia - a coach, entrepreneur and single mom of 2 boys - who did Rock Your Body in May of last year. 

Welcome to the Rock Your Body Spotlight series! Where we meet three inspirational "Rockstars" and hear about their journey to food and body freedom. This week, we meet Erin - a busy mom of 5 - who worked with me in the latter part of 2014.
