The Fit Without Obsession Podcast
I used to think food freedom would make me lose control. That resting meant falling behind. That I’d never feel confident in my body without obsessing over it. I was wrong—and this podcast is where I help you see that too.
I’m Gena—fitness and nutrition coach, self-love advocate, and someone who’s been through it all—restriction, bingeing, body hate, and full eating disorder recovery. Now? I help high-achieving women heal their relationship with food, feel strong and sexy in their skin, and build the body and life they love—without obsession, food guilt, or punishment.
Inside The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, you’ll find real talk, evidence-based tools, and the kind of healing conversations I wish I had in my darkest moments. Whether you're stuck in a binge-restrict cycle, exhausted from food anxiety, or just want to feel good in your skin again—this podcast is your permission slip to break the rules, ditch perfection, and come home to yourself. This isn’t about giving up on your goals. It’s about finally reaching them—without losing your mind.
If you’re ready to heal, grow, and feel at peace in your body... you’re in the right place.
