Your Health & Your Weight Are NOT Synonyms with Dr. Lisa Folden

July 14, 2026 • Season 3 • Episode 141

0:00 | 33:57

In this episode of Fitness Freedom, I sit down with Dr. Lisa Folden, a physical therapist, NASM-certified behavior change specialist, & anti-diet health coach, for a conversation that will change how you see your body forever.

Lisa shares her own journey out of decades of diet culture, the moment Health at Every Size cracked her worldview open, & why she'd turn down a billion dollars before going back to her old way of living.

We go deep on:

-Why the restrict-binge cycle keeps you stuck (& how to get out of it)

-How to tell the difference between nourishing your body & dieting in disguise

-The uncomfortable historical truth about how racism and patriarchy built the beauty standards we're still unlearning today

Her mic-drop line of the episode: "Your weight & your health are not synonyms."
