Free n’ Fit
Welcome to the Free n’ Fit podcast! I’m Martina Raskova, and I’m here to raise awareness about unhealthy relationships with food, eating disorders, and why diets don’t work. Having personally struggled with an eating disorder for 12 years, I’m very passionate about helping people understand that nutrition doesn’t need to be complicated. You absolutely do not have to follow a restricted diet or eat plain meals to achieve your dream body. If you are ready, let’s dive into it! Join me as we talk about breaking free from the yo-yo diet cycle and discovering how to enjoy your favorite foods while getting into the best shape of your life. I’ll also talk about how I transformed from someone struggling with self-esteem and body image issues to a coach who, together with my team, has guided over 500 people in changing how they view food, health, fitness, and nutrition. Moreover, I’ll share some things I’ve kept to myself for a while out of fear of judgment. I want to be completely honest because i know that so many people battle with unhealthy food relationships but feel scared to talk about it, just like I did for the longest time.

In this episode, I’m opening up about my experience with competing after spending 12 years battling an eating disorder.
It’s an honest chat about how competing has its highs and lows, and I’m laying it all out there—no sugarcoating!
I’ll talk about the challenges I faced and how it felt to push my body to its limits.
Competing was definitely one of the toughest things I've ever done, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Still, I’ve come to realize I probably won’t compete again, and I’ll share why by the end of the episode.
If you’re curious about what it’s like to compete when you have a complicated relationship with food, or if you just want to hear a story of resilience, this episode is for you.
I hope my journey inspires you, whether you’re an athlete, on your own road to recovery, or just tuning in to listen.
Let's dive in!

In this episode, I’ll take you on a journey through how it all began and the ups and downs of my recovery. I’ll talk about the relationships that impacted my struggle, especially how my ex-boyfriend’s comments made everything worse.
This episode means a lot to me, and I really hope it gives hope to anyone going through similar struggles.
When I moved to the USA in 2012 things got tough.
Then there’s my time in Canada, where I hit rock bottom for two long years. But through all that darkness, I found the strength to turn things around, and I want to share what motivated me to recover and where I am now.
This podcast is all about having honest conversations about our relationships with food and the struggles we face.
I hope my story inspires others who are struggling with an unhealthy relationship with food.
Thanks for being here with me—I can't wait to share this journey with you!
