(original air date June 2015*)
At a very young age, Maddy became obsessed with how food and exercise could make her look.
She developed a lifestyle, a body and frankly – an obsession – that (in her own words) took the place of relationships, mental health, relationships, sleep, food, her menstrual cycle, relationships, a healthy metabolism, happiness, RELATIONSHIPS, and anything else that is truly important in life.
Maddy has exchanged the “perfect body” (it wasn’t), for a balanced, happy, healthy, sexy, rich life. (And, oh, PS – she’s beautiful, beautifully healthy, and blissfully un-obssessed.)
She helps others find peace in their relationships with food and their own bodies.
Understanding how the messages we get from our families and as children can impact us - and sometimes need to be reprogrammed
What happened when Maddy entered the fitness industry, became a fitness model and had “everything she ever wanted” – and was absolutely miserable
The impact of food obsession and disordered eating on Maddy’s life, body and relationships
How the need for control, attention, validation and acceptance can lead us away from our true selves
So you have the perfect body, now what?
Where Maddy’s confidence comes from now
