In today’s episode I chat with Dr. Supatra Tovar. We discuss how gym culture and diet culture are the same forms of extremism and how they both are anti-environmental in their current forms.

As one of the only clinical psychologists who is also a registered dietitian and certified fitness expert, Dr. Tovar teaches clients how to use research-based techniques in behavioral psychology, nutritional science, and Exercise kinesiology to overcome complex challenges. She harnesses the different disciplines of her unique background to show her clients how small modifications to daily habits can transform mindsets, enhance personal Relationships, and accelerate professional trajectories. Dr. Tovar has helped clients navigate through trauma, eating disorders, Depression, Anxiety, and Grief.
