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, we’re diving into the importance of really getting to know your body and how it affects your eating habits. We all know how confusing it can be to hop from one diet to another, especially with all the noise on social media.
I share my own journey of learning to listen to my body’s hunger cues and emotions—something many of us overlook. We’ll talk about why it’s important to pay attention to how you feel before, during, and after eating, and how those feelings can sometimes lead us to snack when we’re actually bored or stressed.
Together, we’ll tackle the fears around eating more and how to break free from the cycle of extreme diets. The truth is, nourishing your body with yummy, whole foods is way more sustainable than depriving yourself.
Plus, I’ve got some tips for building a healthier relationship with food, like letting go of the “good” and “bad” labels we often attach to our meals.
