## Resource

Welcome back to the Nutrition and Life podcast! Today’s episode is a special encore presentation with the remarkable Holly Baxter, a registered dietitian, bikini competitor, coach, and science communicator dedicated to helping women worldwide bridge the gap between health knowledge and everyday wellness. Originally aired earlier this year, this conversation resonated deeply with our listeners. By popular demand, we’re bringing it back! Holly opens up about her journey from athletic childhood in Tasmania to the international bodybuilding stage, her evolution as an evidence-based coach, and her mission to make nutrition and training science accessible for all. You’ll hear practical tips for contest prep (and why “slow and steady” wins the race), candid reflections on overcoming body image struggles and disordered eating, and honest talk about managing IBS, social situations, and the demands of a busy life. Whether you’re an aspiring athlete, a coach, or simply want real, actionable inspiration, this episode delivers.
