70. Lessons in body image from 20+ years in research (with Dr Rachel Rodgers)
Weightless with Michelle CarrollShow Notes
Guys I was starstruck on this podcast so excuse me and my nervous laughter, but this week's special guest is THE Dr Rachel Rodgers who is basically responsible for the majority of body image research. I was fortunate to ask her all about body positivity, whether "loving your body" is helpful and where the field of body image as a whole is going. Dr Rodgers is an Associate Professor at Northeastern University and you can read her publications here.

Today I am joined by a very good friend of mine, Gillian Bennett, aka Bite Sized Nutrition. Gillian is a nutrition coach and mentor, who has recently pivoted her niche into coaching and mentoring mothers. I had lots of questions for her, ranging from how to market to mothers without losing your sense of identity, whether we should niche at all and we also chatted about some common fears coaches have when moving niches (or even finding one in the first place!). Head over to Gillian's podcast for Part 2 where we talk about body image and the ethics of documenting your fat loss journey to get clients...
