There was a time when I believed my worth was measured by the number on the scale, the size of my jeans, and the discipline I could impose on my body. But as I sat down with today’s guest, Paige Simmons, I was reminded that health, true, sustainable health, has nothing to do with restriction and everything to do with freedom.
Paige is a coach, athlete, and someone who has walked through the fire of disordered eating, extreme dieting, and the relentless pursuit of physical perfection. In this episode, she gets raw about the highs and the heartbreaks of her journey from stepping on stage as a competitive bodybuilder to losing herself in the obsession of meal plans, over-exercising, and the vicious cycle of bingeing and restriction.
But this isn’t just a story about struggle. It’s about redemption. About finding balance. About recognizing that our bodies are not meant to be punished but honored. Paige shares how she rebuilt her relationship with food, restored her health, and ultimately found peace not just with her body, but with her soul.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in an all-or-nothing mindset when it comes to health, this episode is for you.
