Today I’m joined by Katrina Pruszkowski, who works in the medical industry and runs an online fashion blog called Leather and Soie.   Having both been through our own eating disorder journeys, we realise the importance of getting sound evidence-based health advice. However, in today’s world where every second person is citing some research paper, it’s hard to know what evidence is actually credible!   In this episode we chat through: how to decipher a good scientific study from a bad one, the difference between correlation and causation, and misinterpretation of research results by the media.   If you enjoyed this episode please be sure to: ❤️ Subscribe to the podcast so you don't miss an episode! ❤️ Leave us a 5-star rating and review ❤️ Follow Sarah Liz King on socials @skactive ❤️ Find out about health coaching and our Body Freedom Academy here

Today I want to talk about social media and how we can make it a safe, inclusive and health promoting space for us to hangout in. What we post and consume can either lift and inspire others, or further add to the comparison game, making us feel a little 'less than'. This is particularly true in the healthy, fitness and beauty space, which is why I go through how to create healthy boundaries around social media and curate your feed to support your mental health.
