#98 - Ari Grau: Eating disorders, diets, and trends

Rocío Périz |

In this episode, we speak with Ari Grau, a content creator, communicator, and wellness coach, who shares her personal story with eating disorders, her healing process, and how she has learned to listen to her body without judgment.

Ari has gone through very difficult times, from childhood to adulthood, where food and high self-expectations dominated much of her life. Today, her message is clear: healing is possible, and her testimony is a real, unfiltered guide for those who are living or have lived through something similar.

We talk about physical and emotional health, how to regain balance, what is behind the wellness industry, and her new, more conscious chapter where she prioritizes feeling good on the inside over meeting an aesthetic.

An episode about freedom, self-listening, and hard times..
