Summary

Throughout our body image series - we’ve had so many powerful, inspiring and life-affirming conversations with people who have incredible advice on how we can build better relationships with our bodies. One of those people is Alice Liveing.

Alice is a personal trainer, influencer, columnist, podcaster and bestselling author who has inspired thousands of people with her relatable, motivational and balanced health advice.

In this conversation, we take a look back to the 2010s - when she inadvertently became the poster girl for so-called “clean eating”. We found out how Alice found herself in that situation and what led her to move away from it to build a healthy relationship with her body image.

If you want to hear our full investigation of wellness - you can listen to our episode ‘The “Wellness” Rebrand’ which is available now.

0:00.0	This episode is sponsored by Nivia-rich nourishing body lotion, the perfect solution for dry skin that gives you an extra glow.
0:07.7	I love having moisturised skin. It makes my skin look and feel so healthy and just makes me feel in general like I have my life together a bit, you know?
0:16.4	It's one thing that my mum has always done religiously and she's always encouraged us to do it too.
0:21.3	And I especially love moisturising in the winter because my skin can get so dry with the cold weather
0:26.4	and indoor heating. So applying moisturiser helps replenish the lost moisture and creates a protective
0:33.5	barrier to lock it in. And what better product to do so than Nivius rich nourishing body
0:38.4	lotion. It has a new and improved formula containing hyalronic acid that moisturises and deeply
0:44.4	nourishes, leaving your skin soft and smooth but without feeling greasy. And plus, it absorbs
0:49.6	quickly, which I love because I'm way too impatient to wait around for moisturiser to dry.
0:54.1	So, if you want to have confidence in your skin every day, as well as 72-hour moisturisation,
0:59.3	grab a bottle of nivier-rich, nourishing body lotion today.

1:12.4	you've been able to take away some knowledge and advice that hopefully will go some way to helping
1:17.7	you with your body image. I know that this deep dive has been super helpful for us too. We've loved
1:24.4	being able to share extended versions of some of our interviews that we did as part of the series.
1:29.6	And we've got a very special one for you today.
1:32.0	It's the wonderful Alice Living.
1:34.2	Alice is a personal trainer and influencer, columnist, podcaster and bestselling author who has inspired thousands of people.
1:42.4	In this conversation, we go back to the 2010s, where she found herself
1:46.6	at the heart of the wellness industry and the steps that she's made to move away from it.
