Your Body Isn't The Problem: A Psychologist on Midlife Body Image

Body image is one of the most complicated, most loaded topics for midlife women — and we're not tiptoeing around it.

In this episode of Before Boca, we sit down with Dr. Kristine Gravino, licensed psychologist, integrative mental health professional, and certified fitness & nutrition coach, who has spent over 24 years helping womentransform their lives by changing the way they think. Her specialty? The powerful connection between mindset, emotions, and behavior — and why that connection is the actual key to finally making peace with your body.

We unpack the narratives midlife women carry about their bodies, why consistency with healthy eating is so hard (and why we keep sabotaging ourselves), and how to cut through the noise of vibrating boards, GLP-1s, and fat-zapping lasers to figure out what actually works — and what's justmarketing.
