About this listen
An honest, hopeful conversation with Dr. Ilana Coetzee—ER physician and mom of two—on breaking free from decades of body image pressure and “earn your food” rules. Ilana shares how a six-year-old’s first selfie-judgment spiraled into binge–restrict cycles, coffee diet pills, and chasing aesthetics through bodybuilding… and how a ski injury—and later, The Fit Physician—shifted everything toward strength, freedom, and longevity. We talk PRs (hello, bodyweight back squat and ~300-lb hip thrusts), ditching macro obsession for protein + fiber focus, injury-proof running, and the mindset that lets you keep up with your kids (and joy) at 46 and beyond. If you’ve ever felt “I should have this figured out by now,” this episode reminds you: you’re not broken, you’re not alone—and you can rewrite the story starting today.
