«The secret to my happiness is that I am kind to my body, and now it is kind to me.» Beautifully said.

As someone who loves fitness/bodybuilding/good nutrition n but also wants to embrace body positivity/self love this is such a great talk. Would love to see more of this, the bridging of health/fitness and body positivity!

The obesity epidemic is a direct result of the capitalistic system we live under. Major food and beverage companies are doing nothing to create healthier alternative foods that could help lower the obesity problem. All they care about is quarterly profits and products that sell. They don’t care at all about your well being. We need more health conscious food and beverage companies and a change in the materialistic/ capitalist system. We also need government that cares about it’s people. Ultimately though, the change has to come from the people. Reject lower conscious foods and companies and start becoming aware of the implications and consequences of everything you eat!

imagine being a fitness instructor that doesnt promote fitness

Very cool instructor. I would gladly take a class with her if I wasn't living in France ! Bodypositivity and fitness should go hand in hand. Exercising and respecting the natural balance of body and mind. It's not about having a toxic super extra lean look and what drugs and eating disorders technics you have to master to do it -_- . It's not right for everyone to be super lean, for women, ex-obese people, older people, or just someone who's not naturally made for it, etc... This "fitness" typical look that everyone think is healthy is part of the problem.

Her last one or two syllables sound like she's burping
