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.

Are carbs the reason you’re not losing weight — or are they the missing piece?
In today’s episode, I’m busting one of the biggest fitness myths out there: that carbs are “bad” and need to be cut to get results. The truth? Carbs are essential if you want to build muscle, burn fat, recover faster, and actually enjoy your nutrition.
I’m walking you through 5 science-backed reasons carbs aren’t just okay — they’re powerful when used properly. Whether you’ve been scared to eat bananas or confused about why you’re always tired and sore, this episode will clear it up for good.

What if your biggest regret at the end of your life isn’t that you weren’t thinner—but that you spent so much time trying to be?
In this raw, personal episode, I’m sharing my own story of struggling with body image, restrictive eating, and a 12-year battle with bulimia. From the age of 17, my life revolved around food, weight, and chasing an impossible ideal. But no matter how thin I got, it was never enough—and it never made me happy.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for eating, obsessed over your body, or tied your worth to a number on the scale, this episode will speak to you.
