Food & Body Freedom Collective - Peace with Food

Hi Team,

There is evidence that there is a connection between psychological control and eating behaviors, highlighting how individuals often use food to manage overwhelming life stressors. If you use food to calm yourself when life feels out of control, or feel that you need to control every aspect of your life, this session is for you.

We do have a few guidelines for the group (to foster a safe and supportive environment):
Guidelines for the group:

1. Please have your cameras on - we love to see faces and want you to know that you are seen, as well as provide a safe space to share
2. Speak from your own experience
3. Refrain from using numbers (calories, weight, etc). Numbers lead to comparison and we are here to support.
4. Refrain from specific foods, instead say "comfort foods", "safe foods", "trigger foods" etc,
5. Please limit share to two-minutes so we all have an opportunity to share.

Coach Shannon, owner of Fitness Realist, is a featured guest speaker for a special presentation with the private Women Ending Emotional Eating Group and Body Freedom Collective.

More Than Muscle: The REAL Power of Strength Training explores how resistance training impacts far more than physical appearance. This educational presentation focuses on the powerful connection between strength training, long-term health, confidence, metabolism, mobility, bone density, and overall quality of life.

This is not a bodybuilding presentation. It is a realistic, approachable conversation about using strength training to support the body through every stage of adulthood and learning how movement can become a form of self-care rather than punishment.

• The true purpose of resistance training
• Strength training and healthy aging
• Metabolism, muscle preservation, and energy
• Bone density, posture, and joint support
• Confidence and body resilience
• Building sustainable wellness habits beyond the scale

With over 27 years of entrepreneurial and wellness experience, Coach Shannon brings a practical and empowering approach to health education through Fitness Realist’s philosophy of:

REAL Movement • REAL Nutrition • REAL Rest

This presentation is designed to educate, encourage, and help participants rethink what strength training truly means for long-term wellness and everyday life.
