Welcome to Mindset, Metabolism, and Movement - where we help you achieve a realistic (and human!) approach to health and fitness by working WITH your body, not against it. I'm your host, Jenna Altman, and my mission is to help YOU, the active woman, find a healthy lifestyle that you can consistently show up for and make decisions that align with you and your body. This is the podcast for you if you’ve felt overwhelmed by the contradicting advice you’ve received in the health and fitness space. You’ve struggled with confidence and all-or-nothing thinking. You’ve probably been living off of 1200-1600 calories or less because you thought that’s what you needed to lose weight. You’re looking to incorporate movement that you actually enjoy (instead of feeling obligated to do *more* cardio). I’ve been exactly where you're at. I struggled with confidence and body image (and sometimes still do!). I tried all the quick fixes - BeachBody, Herbalife, cutting carbs, etc. I listened to diet culture and societal expectations to push myself to be as skinny as possible. I felt guilty for missing workouts or eating "bad foods." So I spent the last 10 years crafting a healthy lifestyle that works FOR ME. I've let go of diet culture and determined my own definition of beautiful. I've learned how to work with my body, not against it. And I'm here to give you the tools and strategies to help you do the same. Together, we’ll explore topics related to mindset, metabolism, and movement to help you realize that health & fitness is so much more than weight loss. Let's dive in!

84| Breaking Barriers: Embracing Diversity and Inclusion in Health and Fitness with Dr. Dorrell Briscoe

In this episode, we delve into the importance of representation and diversity in the health and fitness industry. Our guest, Dorrell Briscoe, highlights the role of people of color, particularly black women, in becoming powerful role models and symbols of representation for young individuals. By showcasing different perspectives and breaking stereotypes, they encourage people from various backgrounds to pursue their health goals and feel a sense of belonging in the fitness community. By including different voices, the industry becomes a vibrant and inclusive space that offers a variety of approaches and solutions.

As the conversation progresses, we discuss the need for individuals with privilege to actively promote diversity and inclusivity in the health and fitness space. Suggestions include celebrating cultural heritage, forming partnerships with community organizations and healthcare providers, and creatively investing in underserved communities. By incorporating these practices, we can ensure that health and fitness are accessible and welcoming to everyone, regardless of their background or socio-economic status.

Join us as we explore the importance of representation, community building, and breaking stereotypes in the pursuit of a diverse and inclusive health and fitness industry.
