Episode 128: What We Need to Fuel Ourselves – Chi Pham

Episode 128: What We Need to Fuel Ourselves

Interview with Chi Pham

Chi Pham wants you to know that you can fuel your body for success as an outdoor athlete, and it doesn’t have to fit in the little boxes you see on social media. Because being focused on health and wellness doesn’t mean there’s just one way to live your life, Chi is committed to showing up, keeping it real, and encouraging other women to be themselves above all else.

In this episode, we talk about how Chi took her training outdoors, how she slowly started fueling her body to help achieve her goals (rather than feeding into toxic diet culture), and the influence Instagram can have on what we think ‘fit’ looks like.
