Christina Hathaway – What is Body Dysmorphia, How Body Dysmorphia Impacts Gym Rats, and MORE!

In this episode of the Brawn Body Health and Fitness Podcast, Dan is joined by Christina Hathaway to discuss Body Dysmorphia, including its definition, who it impacts, and what should be done about it! 

Christina is a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, author, and speaker! Her career has been focused on helping others through her whole health vision. As a Clinician Christina specializes in trauma, PTSD, body image, and eating disorders. In her Coaching career, she helps to promote successful men and women to find the best versions of themselves and their relationships. Lastly, as a NASM Certified Personal trainer and Certified Nutrition Coach, she helps men and women all over the world achieve their health and fitness goals while also restructuring their negative body image and eating patterns. Christina's current focus is organizing mother and daughter body-image workshops to help navigate the world of unrealistic body image, eating, and training. She has been described as “Constructively blunt with a side of sweet empowerment.” and wants to create a coaching environment that is relatable and REAL. This realness has since been translated into her first book, “Don’t Hold Their Poop, A Small Book about Cleaning Up Life’s BIG Messes.”  DHTP is a short, self-help comedy where the reader learns to recognize when another person is emotionally projecting onto them.  Through silly but insightful activities as well as “pun” intended tools, the readers learn to “FLUSH” the poo away and set appropriate boundaries.  Christina also helps the reader understand when they need to “gut check themselves before they wreck themselves” and they learn to recognize when they are being irresponsible with their emotions.
