Want to Break Free From Focusing on Your Image for Your Health? with Tiffany Phillips

podcast Oct 18, 2022

As a former IFBB Figure Professional, Tiffany found herself spending so much time in the gym and focusing on food to get her figure right for the stage that she started wondering if it was all worth the cost.

After all her hard work, she achieved the look of health. But she didn’t feel healthy. She noticed herself being unpleasant to others around her. She was so hyper-focused on achieving a perceived image of health that she was unable to live out the gospel.

If you, too, are feeling frustrated with the pursuit of health centered around a certain body ideal, this episode is for you. Listen to Episode 23: Breaking Free from Image Focused Health.
